This page tracks what homes in Bella Vista actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 4 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated September 2026.
Read this one loosely. Fewer than eight homes closed here in the last year, so every median on this page rests on a small sample and can swing on a single sale.
What homes sold for in Bella Vista
Sale prices ran from $298,000 to $375,000, which is a wide spread and the reason a single neighborhood median is a starting point rather than an answer.
By size
| Home size | Sales | Median price | Median $/sq ft | Median days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 2,000 sq ft | 3 | $315,099 | $194 | 208 days |
Larger homes usually show a lower price per square foot. That is normal and it is why a price per foot taken from the whole neighborhood should never be applied straight to one house.
Homes priced right sold far faster
Median days to go under contract. Shorter is better.
Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 32 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 220 days and still closed at 95.1% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $18,960. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.
How buyers paid
Cash was 50% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
