Layoffs could damage real-estate market on two fronts - Reported by The Benton County Daily Record in Northwest, Arkansas
By Tom Treweek Staff Writer ! tomt@nwanews.com
Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2009
BENTON COUNTY - The real-estate market in northwest Arkansas has been slow of late; not that it hasn't been slow everywhere. But with up to 800 layoffs announced by the Wal-Mart Home Office, local brokers are worried about further damage.
Crye-Leike broker Dave Mishler, who works for the company's Bentonville office but will soon head the Bella Vista office, said there is about a 14-month supply of vacant homes for sale in Bentonville, Bella Vista and Rogers. The Wal-Mart layoffs, he said, could add another three- or four-month supply. Should those now without jobs need to move to find work, the market situation could give them little chance to sell their current homes. Mishler estimated that two-thirds of the affected employees are likely homeowners.
"It could make it difficult for those...

State's Home Sales Plummet (As Reported by the Morning News)

THE MORNING NEWS
SPRINGDALE -- Home sales across the state continued to decline in December, capping off the worst year in nearly a decade, according to a report released by the Arkansas Realtors Association.
Statewide there were 25,012 homes sold last year, down 18.16 percent from the previous year and off 25.29 percent from the market's best year of 2005. Average home prices across the state dipped 1.98 percent to $149,055, according to the report.
Local economists have attributed the declining home sales to tighter borrowing requirements from lenders and weaker consumer confidence relating to falling home prices and worries about future job losses.
Agents and brokers who saw their commissions shrink by more than $67 million last year remain optimistic that better days are ahead.
