Grocery prices down. Energy prices down. Housing prices flat. Overall inflation flat.

More Trump winning. More winning for working Americans.

More losing for the Democrats Cult.


I have kept track of all of my expenses in a Quicken program for about 20 years now. Pretty much all of my expenses are down considerably this year vs last year. In fact, off the top of my head, I can't think of any expenses which are actually up this year.

Housing costs in Northwest Arkansas are indeed experiencing a climb, with significant increases in both home prices and rent. This is largely due to rapid population growth outpacing housing availability.

Here's a more detailed look:
  • Home Prices:
    Home prices have increased dramatically, with some reports indicating a 70.9% increase over a five-year period. For example, the average price of a home sold in Benton County increased by 17.8% and in Washington County by 15.8% in a recent six-month period.

  • Rent:
    Median rent for multifamily housing has also risen, with increases of nearly 50% reported. Specifically, rent increases in Rogers, Bentonville, and Fayetteville have outpaced the statewide average.
    • Economic Growth: The presence of major corporations like Walmart, Tyson Foods, and J.B. Hunt has fueled economic development and population growth.

    • Limited Land: Land availability is finite, particularly in the four largest cities, leading to increased costs and pushing development to surrounding areas.

    • Infrastructure Development: New infrastructure projects, like road expansions, are attracting more buyers and further driving up prices in those areas.
  • Ongoing Trends:
    The price per square foot for homes is at an all-time high, with a 135% increase in the last ten years, with much of that growth occurring during the pandemic boom, according to a recent report from NWA Look. While things have cooled slightly, prices remain high.
In conclusion, Northwest Arkansas is experiencing a period of significant housing cost increases, driven by strong economic growth and population influx, which has put pressure on the available housing supply.
