What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 658 closed sales in Bentonville over the last six months, with a median closing price of $455,000. 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 $355,000 and $668,000. 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 Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 82% of the Bentonville closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 657 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $205 and $275 per square foot.

The Bentonville angle
Bentonville rewards a comp-first approach. Across 658 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $455,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $355,000 and $668,000. The upper portion of that band covers considerably more ground than the lower portion, so the median understates how far a strong subject can reach and overstates how far a modest one is likely to fall. Do that before you quote a number to a seller or an investor.
