Northwest Arkansas has finally fallen prey to national real estate trends. In the 4th quarter of 2006 Fayetteville's prices, for example, fell 14%, but in Benton County prices continued rising.

The housing market in NW Arkansas has slowed some, following national trends as well as experiencing a seasonal slowdown (there are always fewer homes sold in the winter--and we've had a lot of cold weather lately--until the past week, that is).In mid-February the 4th Quarter 2006 Skyline report was released with some good news as well as less-good news (depending on whether you live in Benton or Washington County).
