Benton, AR Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price & Sales Trends

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 385 closed sales in Benton over the last six months, with a median closing price of $249,900. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $206,000 and $375,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.

The Benton angle

Benton anchors Saline County on the southwest side of the Little Rock metro, and it prices like a commuter suburb rather than a core city. The median of 385 tracked closings was $249,900, one of the lower medians among cities of comparable transaction volume, while the middle half ran from $206,000 to $375,000. The upper quartile boundary sits about 50 percent above the median, which points to a meaningful pocket of newer and larger construction pulling the top end away from the older core. Monthly closings tracked 69 in April, spiked to 120 in May, then settled at 99 in June. A sub-$249,900 median gives an investor a low absolute entry point, but the top-heavy spread means an appraisal here is very sensitive to which side of town the comps come from.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states.
