PropertyIQ Score
Will Blytheville, AR Home Prices Crash in 2026?
Current momentum data does not show a crash signal for 2026. The PropertyIQ Score for Blytheville is 30 out of 100, which sits below the state average benchmark of 50, indicating demand momentum is softer than the state as a whole. The 12-month home value momentum is positive at 4.45 percent, but the 3-month momentum is negative 2.35 percent, showing recent cooling. Median days on market of 58 days and a price cut share of 18.1 percent also point to easing rather than collapsing demand. These figures describe a market that is cooling, but they do not provide evidence of a crash. A crash would require stronger distress signals or a more pronounced downward momentum shift, and those are not present in the provided data. At the same time, the data does not rule out further softening.
Momentum Signals
The PropertyIQ Score of 30, with a confidence grade of A, is the central momentum signal. A score of 50 equals the state average, so Blytheville is 20 points below that average. The high confidence suggests the score is based on reliable inputs. The score drivers show mixed short-term and longer-term price momentum. The 12-month home value momentum of 4.45 percent indicates that home values were firming over the past year. The 3-month home value momentum of negative 2.35 percent indicates that this firming has shifted to easing in the most recent quarter. This combination suggests that annual gains have recently lost momentum. Median days on market of 58 days indicates a steady but not rapid pace of sales. A share of listings with a price cut of 18.1 percent means that roughly one in five active listings has had an asking price reduction, which is consistent with cooling buyer demand. The provided data also lists home value year over year as $0, which is inconsistent with the 12-month momentum reading of 4.45 percent. Because of that inconsistency, the year-over-year dollar change is treated as unclear in this outlook.
How Blytheville, AR Compares
Blytheville’s median home value of $114,860 is well below the state average of $225,822. That places the local median at roughly half the state average. The rent index of $898 is slightly below the state average of $914. The unemployment rate of 4.1 percent matches the state average exactly. Median household income in Blytheville is $53,428, which is $5,345 below the state average of $58,773. The gap between local and state home values is wider than the gap between local and state incomes. The PropertyIQ Score of 30 also compares below the state average of 50, reinforcing that local demand momentum is softer than the state. State averages for median days on market and share of listings with a price cut were not provided, so those two metrics cannot be compared to the state. The number of homes for sale is 112, but no state or national inventory benchmark was provided. National benchmarks were also not provided, so comparisons are limited to the state averages. Population growth is listed as N/A, so no comparison or trend can be drawn for population.
The Bottom Line for 2026
The momentum outlook for Blytheville in 2026 is best described as cooling. The confidence grade is A, meaning the demand-momentum signal has a high level of reliability. The 12-month home value momentum is positive, but the 3-month momentum is negative, showing that shorter-term conditions have eased. The PropertyIQ Score is below the state average, and price cuts are present in about one in five listings. Days on market sit at 58 days, which suggests steady but not intense buyer activity. These signals do not point to a crash in the provided data. They point to a market that is softening at the edge of the recent year’s firming. Because population growth is missing and one home value change figure is inconsistent, the outlook should be read with some caution. The most grounded view is that Blytheville enters 2026 with cooling demand momentum, below-state-average price levels, and steady market pace, with no clear crash signal in the current data.
