Why Renters are Choosing to Move to Northwest Arkansas

Northwest Arkansas is officially on the national map. According to the Milken Institute’s 2026 Best-Performing Cities report , the Fayetteville–Springdale–Rogers metro area ranked #1 in the country among large cities.

This top ranking reflects what locals already know: NWA offers a rare mix of job growth, strong wages, and affordable living.

What’s Driving Northwest Arkansas Growth?

The Milken Institute highlights Fayetteville’s booming labor market, ranking highly in key areas like one-year wage growth and short-term job growth.

Much of the region’s success is fueled by major employers including:

Walmart
Tyson Foods
J.B. Hunt
University of Arkansas

The report also notes that Northwest Arkansas continues to grow its high-tech sector, making it an increasingly attractive destination for professionals and families alike.

Affordable Housing in a Fast-Growing Region

While many metros across the U.S. struggle with rising housing costs, Fayetteville stands out for maintaining strong affordability. The report credits part of this to rapid development and major growth in the construction industry.

Northwest Arkansas Ranked #1 in the Nation for Economic Growth

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:01:34 GMT

Strong Job Growth, a Thriving Tech Sector, and Affordable Housing

Northwest Arkansas continues to make headlines—this time earning the top spot in the nation for economic performance. According to the Milken Institute 2026 Best-Performing Cities report , the Fayetteville–Springdale–Rogers metropolitan area was ranked the #1 large metropolitan area in the United States.

For residents, renters, and property owners throughout Northwest Arkansas, this recognition highlights something locals have known for years: the region offers a unique combination of opportunity, affordability, and quality of life that’s difficult to match.

A Region That Continues to Rise

The annual ranking evaluates more than 400 U.S. cities based on factors like job growth, wage increases, technology sector expansion, and housing affordability. The Northwest Arkansas metro area—which includes Fayetteville, Springdale, and Rogers—earned the top position thanks to consistently strong performance across every labor market metric measured in the study.

Even more impressive, the region has ranked within the top 15 large metro areas every year since 2021, demonstrating steady, long-term growth rather than a short-lived economic surge.

Job Growth Driving Opportunity

One of the biggest factors behind Northwest Arkansas’ success is its thriving job market. The region ranked 13th or higher in every labor market category, signaling strong job creation and economic stability.

Employment growth has been particularly strong in industries like construction, education, and health services. The construction sector alone saw nearly 10% employment growth in 2024, reflecting the rapid development taking place across the region.

For renters and homeowners alike, this kind of job growth translates into increased opportunity, population growth, and a vibrant local economy.

Housing Affordability Remains a Major Advantage

While many U.S. cities are struggling with skyrocketing housing costs, Northwest Arkansas continues to stand out for its relative affordability. The metro area ranked 15th among large cities for housing affordability, a key factor that helped it reach the top of the rankings.

A strong construction industry has helped keep housing supply growing alongside population growth, giving residents more options and helping maintain balance in the housing market.

For those looking to relocate, rent, or invest in property, this affordability combined with economic opportunity makes Northwest Arkansas an increasingly attractive destination.

Strategic Growth and Community Investment

Local leaders emphasize that this success is no accident. Communities throughout the region have invested heavily in infrastructure, public spaces, and business development to support long-term growth.

According to Molly Rawn, the city’s strategy focuses on building strong public services, expanding infrastructure, and supporting innovative business development—all while ensuring the community continues to thrive.

These kinds of forward-thinking investments help ensure Northwest Arkansas remains competitive nationally while maintaining the quality of life residents value.

Why This Matters for Renters and Property Owners

For renters, this ranking reinforces that Northwest Arkansas is one of the best places in the country to live and work. A strong economy paired with relatively affordable housing makes the region especially appealing for young professionals, families, and newcomers.

For property owners and investors, the recognition signals continued demand for housing across the region. As the local economy grows and more people relocate to Northwest Arkansas for job opportunities, demand for quality rental housing is expected to remain strong.

The Future of Northwest Arkansas

From thriving businesses to growing neighborhoods, the momentum in Northwest Arkansas shows no signs of slowing down. Being named the top-performing large metropolitan area in the country highlights the region’s ability to balance economic growth, affordability, and opportunity.

For those already living here—or considering making the move—the message is clear: Northwest Arkansas is one of the most dynamic places in America to call home.

This Week’s Local Highlight: Welcome Health Center

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 15:13:05 GMT

A Stepping Stone to Better Health in Northwest Arkansas

At Elder Management, we believe loving where you live means having access to the resources that support your well-being. That’s why This Week’s Local Highlight is shining a light on an organization that has quietly transformed lives in our community for decades: WelcomeHealth .

More Than Just a Free Health Clinic

For over 40 years, WelcomeHealth has provided free, patient-focused medical care, dental services, and prescription assistance to low-income individuals throughout Northwest Arkansas — regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.

According to the 2024 U.S. Census Bureau Report, approximately 62,000 people in Northwest Arkansas are uninsured and living in poverty. That’s tens of thousands of individuals and families who may otherwise go without essential healthcare.

WelcomeHealth exists to bridge that gap.

Medical Care for Adults & Children

The clinic provides comprehensive medical services for both adult and pediatric patients. Existing patients can even access work-in appointments during regular business hours — an incredibly important feature for families navigating unexpected health concerns.

By removing financial barriers, WelcomeHealth helps ensure that preventive care, routine check-ups, and basic medical needs don’t become long-term health crises.

Urgent Dental Care for Adults

Dental emergencies can be both painful and expensive. WelcomeHealth offers urgent and emergency dental care for adult patients who might otherwise delay treatment due to cost.

This type of support doesn’t just relieve discomfort — it protects long-term health and restores confidence.

Prescription Assistance That Makes a Difference

Healthcare doesn’t end with a diagnosis. Through access to Patient Assistance Programs (PAP), WelcomeHealth helps eligible adult patients receive free or discounted prescriptions.

For many individuals managing chronic conditions, this access can mean the difference between stability and serious complications.

Why This Matters in Northwest Arkansas

Organizations like WelcomeHealth are part of what makes Northwest Arkansas such a strong, compassionate community. Access to healthcare impacts workforce stability, family well-being, and overall quality of life.

When families have support systems in place — whether it’s housing, employment, or healthcare — the entire community thrives.

At Elder Management, we’re proud to manage homes in a region supported by organizations like WelcomeHealth. Because loving where you live goes beyond your front door — it’s about knowing your community cares.

This Week’s Local Highlight: Fayetteville Public Library

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 13:30:21 GMT

Compassion, Connection, and Community

Welcome to a new blog feature of Elder Management Company! This Week’s Local Highlight is all about celebrating the places that make Northwest Arkansas such a great place to call home. From community spaces and local favorites to organizations that bring people together, we’re spotlighting the resources that help turn a house into a neighborhood. This week, we’re highlighting one of Fayetteville’s most beloved community hubs: the Fayetteville Public Library .

When people think of the Fayetteville Public Library, they often picture rows of books and quiet reading spaces—but locals know it’s so much more than that. The library is one of the most vibrant community hubs in Northwest Arkansas, offering free programming that supports learning, creativity, wellness, and connection for every age and stage of life. This February, the calendar is full proof of just how deeply the library is woven into our community.

For families, the library is a place where little ones can fall in love with stories early on. Weekly baby, toddler, preschool, and family story times fill the mornings with songs, movement, and imagination. Special events like Valentine-themed story hours, Lunar New Year celebrations, and sing-alongs make the library feel festive and welcoming—no matter the season. It’s a space where caregivers can meet other families and kids can build routines around learning and play.

Students and teens also find plenty to explore beyond the school day. Homework help, creative writing clubs, math teams, STEAM workshops, and hands-on engineering projects all create opportunities to learn in ways that feel engaging and fun. Whether a student is decoding binary code, preparing for the ACT, or just hanging out during open art studio time, the library offers support without pressure—and without a price tag.

Adults, too, have an incredible range of resources at their fingertips. February’s schedule includes book clubs, author talks, genealogy workshops, resume and cover letter help, public speaking classes, and small business support through the library’s nonprofit and innovation programs. There are opportunities to earn professional certifications, learn new technical skills, explore creative hobbies, and even get free legal guidance for entrepreneurs. It’s a reminder that learning doesn’t stop after school—it just changes shape.

The library also plays a key role in wellness and civic life. Yoga classes, meditation sessions, health education talks, and creative movement workshops offer space to slow down and recharge. Meanwhile, community forums, candidate discussions, early voting access, and outreach events ensure residents stay informed and engaged. Add in cultural programming—from music recitals and documentary screenings to museum exhibits and heritage storytelling—and it’s clear the library reflects the diversity and depth of Fayetteville itself.

Perhaps one of the most impactful parts of the Fayetteville Public Library is how far it reaches beyond its walls. Through bookmobile stops at apartment communities, senior centers, and local organizations, the library brings books, resources, and connection directly to residents across the city—meeting people where they are.

At Elder Management, we believe that loving where you live goes far beyond the four walls of your home. Access to community spaces like the Fayetteville Public Library is part of what makes Northwest Arkansas such a special place to live. Whether you’re new to the area or have called Fayetteville home for years, this library is a reminder that community, learning, and belonging are always within reach.

Feel free to contact us today at Elder Management Company to get started on finding your new home!

Northwest Arkansas: Live Where Leaders are Made

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 17:56:11 GMT

A Top University, Strong Careers, and Affordable Rentals

When people think about where tomorrow’s leaders come from, they often picture Ivy League campuses or major coastal cities. But a recent TIME and Statista ranking of the top U.S. colleges producing future leaders tells a broader—and more exciting—story. Among the universities shaping policymakers, innovators, executives, and cultural influencers across the country sits a standout closer to home: the University of Arkansas, ranked #72 nationwide.

That ranking places the University of Arkansas alongside elite institutions recognized for developing leaders across industries—from technology and agriculture to policy, education, and entrepreneurship. For renters considering a move, this kind of academic and professional ecosystem matters more than ever.

A University That Fuels Opportunity

TIME’s study analyzed nearly 4,800 influential leaders shaping American society today, tracking where they studied and how those formative experiences helped launch their careers. While schools like Harvard, Stanford, and MIT remain fixtures at the top, the study also highlights a growing trend: state universities are increasingly producing the next generation of leaders, especially as industries evolve and career paths diversify.

The University of Arkansas’s inclusion reflects its growing influence—not just academically, but economically. The university supports cutting-edge research, attracts global talent, and feeds directly into regional employers and startups. For students, young professionals, and families alike, that translates into opportunity without the sky-high cost of major metro areas.

Renting Where Education Meets Lifestyle

For renters, moving to Northwest Arkansas offers a rare balance. You’re not choosing between affordability and ambition—you get both. Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, and Bentonville combine a strong job market, cultural growth, and outdoor beauty with lower rental costs compared to many college-centered cities nationwide.

Living near a nationally recognized university means access to:

A steady, diverse population that supports vibrant neighborhoods
Cultural events, arts, sports, and innovation
Strong employment pipelines tied to education, healthcare, and technology
A community invested in long-term growth, not short-term trends

Whether you’re renting while finishing school, launching a career, or relocating for a better quality of life, Northwest Arkansas offers stability with upward momentum.

A Region on the Rise

The TIME rankings also underscore something locals already know: leadership doesn’t only come from the coasts anymore. More state universities, HBCUs, and regional colleges are shaping influential voices across industries. Northwest Arkansas fits squarely into that shift—attracting people who want room to grow, both personally and professionally.

As more renters look beyond overcrowded, high-cost cities, Arkansas stands out as a place where your dollar stretches further—and your opportunities don’t shrink.

Find Your Place in Northwest Arkansas

At Elder Management, we help renters find homes that fit their lifestyle, budget, and future plans. Whether you’re moving for school, work, or simply a better way of living, our team understands the Northwest Arkansas rental market and the communities that make it special.

If you’re ready to rent in a region that’s educating future leaders and building a strong tomorrow, Northwest Arkansas might just be your next smart move. Contact us at Elder Management today to get started on your rental journey!

The Value of Renting in Arkansas

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 16:31:59 GMT

Why Lower Costs and Growing Communities are Attracting New Residents

Affordability plays a bigger role than ever in where people choose to live — especially for renters who are balancing housing costs with rising everyday expenses. From groceries to utilities to transportation, small monthly costs can quickly add up. That’s why Arkansas is becoming an increasingly attractive place to rent, and a recent change is making it even more appealing.

As of January 1, 2026 Arkansas eliminated its state tax on groceries, meaning qualifying food items like fruits, vegetables, dairy, and pantry staples are no longer taxed at the state level. While local sales taxes may still apply in some cities and counties, this change reduces the overall cost of living and helps households keep more of their income for what matters most.

For renters, this is especially meaningful. Rent is often the largest monthly expense, and while housing costs can fluctuate in many parts of the country, Arkansas continues to offer relatively affordable rental options. When everyday costs like groceries decrease at the same time, it creates real breathing room in a household budget — allowing renters to save more, stress less, and enjoy greater financial flexibility.

Beyond the tax change, Arkansas offers a strong overall lifestyle value. Growing job markets, family-friendly communities, access to outdoor recreation, and a lower cost of living compared to many neighboring and coastal states make it appealing to a wide range of renters — from young professionals relocating for work to families looking for stability and retirees seeking comfort without high expenses.

At Elder Management, we see more people choosing Arkansas not just because it’s affordable, but because it offers balance: reasonable rent, lower everyday costs, and communities that feel livable and welcoming. Whether you’re new to the state or simply considering a new place to call home, renting in Arkansas offers an opportunity to enjoy more value without sacrificing quality of life.

Why Everyone is Moving to Arkansas

Sun, 28 Dec 2025 17:04:42 GMT

Affordability and Quality of Life are Reshaping Migration in 2025

Every year, Atlas Van Lines releases its Migration Patterns Study to track where Americans are moving — and why. The 2025 study, which analyzed relocations from November 2024 through October 2025, reveals a major trend: people are still moving, but they’re moving more thoughtfully. Affordability has become the number one driver behind relocation decisions as home prices remain high, inventory remains tight, and the median age of first-time homebuyers continues to rise.

Even in a slower housing market, life doesn’t pause. People still change jobs, start families, downsize, pursue education, or seek a better quality of life — and that’s where rental housing and property management play such an important role. This year’s study highlights how renters are increasingly choosing places that offer stability, value, and livability.

And the biggest takeaway? Arkansas is officially the #1 state Americans are moving to in 2025.

Yes — out of all 50 states, Arkansas ranked first for inbound moves, ahead of states like Idaho, North Carolina, and Tennessee. That says a lot about what people are looking for right now — and what Arkansas is offering.

Why Arkansas Is Attracting So Many New Residents

Arkansas checks a lot of boxes for today’s movers:

A lower cost of living compared to many coastal and metro-heavy states
More attainable rental prices and home values
Strong job growth in areas like healthcare, education, manufacturing, and logistics
Natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and a slower, more balanced pace of life

For many, Arkansas represents something increasingly rare: a place where you can build a life without feeling financially stretched at every turn.

In Northwest Arkansas especially — Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, and Bentonville — people are drawn to the mix of growing economic opportunity and community charm. You get access to strong employers, a vibrant arts and food scene, and beautiful outdoor spaces, all without the cost pressure of larger metros.

What This Means for Renters

With more people moving into Arkansas, demand for quality rental housing is rising — and renters have more reason than ever to be intentional about where they land. Many newcomers are choosing to rent first as they get to know the area, explore neighborhoods, and wait for the housing market to stabilize.

Renting offers flexibility, lower upfront costs, and the ability to relocate easily if work or life circumstances change — which aligns perfectly with today’s cautious but mobile population.

Supporting Growth with Great Property Management

At Elder Management, we see this growth as an opportunity to support both residents and property owners through a period of exciting change. Whether someone is moving to Arkansas for the first time or a local owner is navigating a more active rental market, having the right systems, communication, and care in place makes all the difference.

As Arkansas continues to welcome new neighbors in 2025 and beyond, we’re proud to help make those transitions smooth, positive, and stress-free — one home at a time. Make sure to check out our vacancies today to find your next home!

Cozy Up Your Rental This Winter

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 15:03:06 GMT

Warm, Renter-Friendly Decorating Ideas Perfect for Fayetteville Living

Winter in Fayetteville brings a special kind of quiet charm — the crisp Ozark air, evenings that come a little earlier, and that feeling that it’s finally time to slow down and settle into a cozy space. For renters, though, decorating for the season can feel tricky. You want warmth, texture, and personality…but you also want your security deposit back. The good news? Creating a winter-ready home doesn’t require permanent changes or landlord-approved projects. With a little creativity, you can completely transform your space while staying 100% renter-friendly.

One of the easiest ways to bring winter coziness into a rental is through texture. Think plush blankets draped over the arm of your couch, oversized knit pillows, and soft rugs that take the chill off hardwood floors. These simple touches instantly shift a room from “everyday” to “winter retreat.” Even switching your color palette — deeper greens, warm neutrals, or snowy whites — can make your home feel seasonally intentional without any commitment.

Lighting also plays a huge role this time of year. Fayetteville can get surprisingly gray in the winter months, which makes soft, ambient lighting your best friend. Battery-powered candles, string lights woven through bookshelves, or a warm-glowing lamp on a side table can completely change the mood of a room. They add that magical winter glow without requiring anything more than a power outlet — and they’re safe, portable, and damage-free.

If you’re craving something festive, it’s easier than ever to decorate without putting holes in the walls. Removable decor — from peel-and-stick wallpaper accents to temporary window clings — has become a renter’s dream. Even wreaths, garlands, and stockings can be hung with modern adhesive hooks that come down cleanly when the season ends. It’s all the charm of holiday decorating, none of the stress.

Bringing a bit of nature indoors is another subtle way to make your rental feel winter-ready. A vase of evergreen stems, a few pinecones gathered from a walk, or a eucalyptus bundle hanging in the shower can transform your space without adding clutter. These organic touches blend beautifully with neutral decor and create that fresh, earthy winter feel that makes a home feel grounded.

Even your entryway (no matter how small) can set the tone for the season. A cozy rug runner, a simple basket for gloves and scarves, or a festive doormat can make coming home feel warm and welcoming. This is especially helpful during Northwest Arkansas winters, when boots, coats, and chilly mornings become part of the routine.

And of course, no winter home is complete without the right scent. Whether you prefer cinnamon and clove, evergreen and cedar, or vanilla and amber, the aromas you choose can instantly shift the atmosphere. Diffusers and wax warmers are perfect for rentals since they’re flame-free and landlord-friendly but still pack a seasonal punch.

At the end of the day, winter decorating isn’t about going big — it’s about creating a space that feels warm, personal, and inviting during the coldest months of the year. And when your rental already feels like home, the decorating becomes the fun part.

If you’re looking for a new place to settle into this season, Elder Management is here to help. We’re proud to provide comfortable, well-maintained properties across Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas — spaces that are easy to love and even easier to make your own. When you’re ready for your next cozy rental, start by looking at our vacancies and let our team find the perfect fit for you.

Why Fayetteville is a Renter’s Dream

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 17:22:00 GMT

One of America’s Most Affordable Cities

When it comes to affordable living in the U.S., Arkansas continues to shine—and Fayetteville is one of the strongest examples of why. Recently highlighted among America’s most budget-friendly cities, Fayetteville proves that you don’t have to sacrifice culture, convenience, or natural beauty to keep your cost of living under control. And for renters, that balance is even more appealing.

A City Full of Life (Without the City-Sized Price Tag)

Fayetteville blends the charm of the Ozark Mountains with the vibrancy of a true college town, thanks to the University of Arkansas. From live sports and local art to community festivals and year-round events, there’s always something happening, and many activities are either free or low-cost! Renters get to enjoy that rich lifestyle without the heavy price tag associated with larger metro areas.

Affordable Housing That Lets You Live Comfortably

Housing costs in Fayetteville remain below the national average, making renting a smart financial choice for individuals, families, and young professionals. Lower utility costs and energy-efficient new builds mean your monthly expenses stay predictable and manageable. Whether you’re looking for a cozy apartment, a modern duplex, or a spacious single-family rental, your budget stretches further here than in many other “hot” U.S. cities.

Cities like Chattanooga, Birmingham, and El Paso also made the list for affordability, but Fayetteville offers a uniquely balanced lifestyle: small-city convenience, big-city culture, and nature right outside your door.

Nature at Your Back Door & Entertainment That Doesn’t Break the Bank

One of the biggest perks of renting in Fayetteville? Free entertainment is everywhere.

Hiking trails, scenic overlooks, waterfalls, bike paths, and lakes make weekends easy and inexpensive. Instead of paying for activities, residents spend an afternoon exploring Mount Kessler, walking the Greenway, or enjoying the views at Devil’s Den. Renters get all these natural amenities without the responsibility of maintaining a yard or property.

A Growing Professional Hub

While many people think of Fayetteville as a college town, it’s also evolving into a tech-friendly, innovation-driven city. Startups, remote-friendly employers, and established Northwest Arkansas companies create new opportunities for renters looking to grow their careers without moving to an overpriced market.

Why Renting Makes Sense in a City Like Fayetteville

Renting here isn’t just a temporary housing choice—it’s a lifestyle decision that gives you:

Flexibility as job opportunities grow
Affordability without compromising space or comfort
Access to culture, food, sports, and nature
Low maintenance living , letting you enjoy the city instead of worrying about repairs

Whether you’re relocating, downsizing, or searching for your first home, Fayetteville offers one of the best combinations of affordability and quality of life in the country. Arkansas continues to attract renters who want more value for their dollar—and Fayetteville leads the way.

Cold Weather Tips for Renters

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 21:04:00 GMT

Easy Winter Maintenance Suggestions for Tenants

As the crisp fall air turns into chilly winter mornings here in Northwest Arkansas, it’s time to prepare your home for the cold. While Fayetteville doesn’t see the deep freezes of the far north, we do get our share of frosty nights—and with them comes the risk of frozen pipes, higher energy bills, and winter wear and tear.

Whether you’re a tenant wanting to protect your space or a landlord making sure your property stays in top shape, here are a few simple but important tips to keep your rental home safe and comfortable all winter long.

1. Keep the Water Dripping

When the temperature drops below freezing, let faucets drip—especially those along exterior walls or in colder areas like kitchens and bathrooms. A slow drip helps relieve pressure in the pipes and keeps water moving, which can prevent pipes from freezing and bursting.

Pro Tip : Leave both hot and cold faucets slightly open to balance water flow.

2. Open Cabinet Doors

If your kitchen or bathroom sink sits against an outside wall, open the cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around the pipes. This small step can make a big difference in preventing frozen plumbing.

3. Maintain a Steady Temperature

Even if you’ll be away for a weekend getaway or a holiday trip, never turn the heat off completely. Keep your thermostat set to at least 55°F (13°C) to prevent frozen pipes while you’re gone. This is especially important for rental homes and apartments with multiple units—one frozen pipe can cause problems for everyone.

4. Check Doors and Windows for Drafts

Cold air sneaks in easily through small gaps. Seal leaks with simple weatherstripping or door draft stoppers, and close blinds or curtains at night to help insulate your space. If you notice a major draft issue in your rental, be sure to report it to your property manager—they’ll help take care of any needed repairs.

5. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

With heaters and fireplaces running, it’s crucial to ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly. Check batteries and test the alarms monthly. If anything isn’t working, submit a maintenance request right away.

6. Protect Outdoor Plumbing

If your rental has an outdoor faucet or garden hose, disconnect hoses and shut off the exterior water supply before temperatures dip below freezing. This simple habit helps prevent outdoor pipes from bursting and causing water damage.

7. Replace Furnace Filters and Check Vents

Clean filters help your heating system work more efficiently and save on utility bills. Make sure air vents aren’t blocked by furniture or curtains so warm air can circulate freely throughout your home.

Stay Cozy and Worry-Free

Winter in Fayetteville can bring beauty—frosty mornings, cozy evenings, and maybe even a light dusting of snow. By taking a few preventative steps now, you’ll stay comfortable and avoid costly damage when the temperatures drop.

If you’re a tenant with Elder Management, remember: we’re here to help. (And if you aren’t, consider checking out our available properties to become one!) If you notice any issues—like frozen pipes, heating problems, or drafts—report them as soon as possible so we can take care of them before they get worse.

Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy the winter season in beautiful Northwest Arkansas!

Why Renting Is the Smart Move in 2025

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 13:04:19 GMT

Renting Makes Sense in Today’s Housing Market

With rising home prices and interest rates, more Americans are finding financial freedom through renting.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the housing market, you’ve probably noticed that buying a home has become increasingly difficult. Between steep interest rates, limited inventory, and record-breaking home values, many would-be buyers are pressing pause on their homeownership plans.

Over the last several years, home prices have soared far beyond normal growth rates. And while there’s been a modest increase in the number of homes for sale nationwide, the gap between demand and availability remains wide. In many markets, bidding wars are even making a comeback — pushing prices up further and leaving potential buyers wondering whether now is really the right time to buy.

The good news? Renting offers a flexible, practical alternative that makes financial sense for many people in 2025.

When Renting Makes More Sense Than Buying

1. You Value Flexibility

If your job, family plans, or lifestyle might change in the next few years, renting offers the freedom to move when life does. Buying and selling a home can take months and come with thousands of dollars in fees, while moving out of a rental is a relatively quick, simple process.

Even if you think you’ll stay in a certain area long term, renting first can help you get to know the community before making a big investment. It’s a smart way to “test drive” a neighborhood before committing.

2. You Want to Avoid Maintenance Costs

Homeownership comes with ongoing upkeep — and unexpected expenses. From replacing a broken appliance to fixing a leaky roof, maintenance costs can add up fast. Renters, on the other hand, can relax knowing that repairs and routine maintenance are handled by the property management team.

That peace of mind is one of the biggest advantages of renting, especially for those who want a more maintenance-free lifestyle.

3. You’re Focused on Monthly Affordability

Even with higher rent prices across the country, many renters are still saving money each month compared to homeowners. With mortgage rates hovering near recent highs, the monthly cost of owning a home — when you include taxes, insurance, and maintenance — often exceeds what you’d pay to rent a comparable space. Those monthly savings can add up quickly and give renters more breathing room in their budgets for other priorities, like travel, savings, or paying down debt.

4. You’d Rather Invest Than Build Equity

While buying a home helps you build equity over time, renting gives you the freedom to invest your money differently. Historically, the stock market has provided higher long-term returns than the average rate of home appreciation. That means disciplined renters who invest the money they would have spent on a down payment or higher mortgage payment could come out ahead financially — without being tied down by a 30-year loan or the costs of home maintenance.

The Bottom Line

Buying a home can still be a great choice for some, but in today’s market, renting offers more financial flexibility, less stress, and greater freedom. Whether you’re saving up for a future purchase, relocating for work, or simply want to enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle, renting provides the balance many people are looking for in 2025.

At Elder Management Company, we make renting easy with quality homes, responsive service, and communities designed for comfortable living. Explore our available properties today and discover why so many people are choosing to rent smarter this year.

Make Your Rental Feel Like Home

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 06:28:19 GMT

Easy decorating ideas to cozy up your Northwest Arkansas home

Moving into a new rental is exciting, but sometimes those plain walls and neutral finishes can feel a little impersonal. The good news? With a few simple touches, you can transform your rental into a space that feels warm, welcoming, and uniquely yours—without breaking the rules of your lease.

Add Personality with Décor

Start with items that are easy to swap out when you move: rugs, curtains, and throw pillows. These small touches instantly bring color and texture to your rooms. Bonus: they’re renter-friendly and can move with you wherever you go.

Get Creative with Wall Space

Even if you can’t paint, you can still dress up blank walls. Removable wallpaper, framed artwork, or gallery walls with personal photos can add character without leaving a trace. Command strips and hooks are your best friends!

Layer in Lighting

Most rentals come with basic lighting, but swapping in stylish floor lamps, string lights, or table lamps makes a huge difference. Warm lighting adds comfort and makes any space feel cozier at the end of the day.

Bring the Outdoors In

Houseplants are an easy way to liven up your home. From small succulents on your desk to larger floor plants in your living room, greenery adds both freshness and personality.

Personalize the Details

Don’t overlook the small things: a unique doormat, cozy bedding, or a fun shower curtain can all make your rental feel more “you.” These little details go a long way in creating a sense of home.

Your Rental, Your Style

Whether you’re moving into a townhome in Rogers, an apartment in Fayetteville, or a single-family home in Springdale, making your space feel like home is all about personalization. With a few creative choices, you can enjoy both the flexibility of renting and the comfort of a home that reflects your personality.

From Vacation to Investment Destination

How Northwest Arkansas is Becoming a Hotspot for Real Estate Growth

Arkansas’s tourism economy is booming—and that’s great news for real estate investors in Northwest Arkansas.

In 2024 alone, the state welcomed 52 million visitors, who spent over $10.3 billion, driving a total economic impact of $17.4 billion. That’s $28.2 million in visitor spending every single day, fueling jobs, businesses, and—importantly—demand for housing.

Much of this growth is tied to Arkansas’s outdoor recreation economy, which contributed $7.3 billion and has grown over 30% since 2019. Northwest Arkansas, with its world-class trails, lakes, and parks, is at the center of this boom.

What This Means for Investors:

High demand for rentals near outdoor attractions and growing towns like Fayetteville and Bentonville
Rising property values as more people choose to live where they love to vacation
A strong foundation for long-term returns with year-round economic activity

Fayetteville is especially well-positioned—offering a mix of natural beauty, university-town energy, and economic growth. Arkansas isn’t just a great place to visit—it’s a smart place to invest. With tourism and outdoor recreation on the rise, now is the time to buy in Northwest Arkansas.

Renting is on the Rise

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 13:52:40 GMT

Why That's Good News for You

The American housing market is shifting — and for renters, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Recent data shows that the number of first-time homebuyers has hit a historic low, largely due to soaring home prices and stubbornly high mortgage rates. According to the National Association of Realtors , only 1.1 million Americans bought their first home last year — down nearly 400,000 from the previous year, and almost half the historical average.

With affordability hurdles pushing homeownership further out of reach, renting has taken center stage. In fact, the number of renter households in the U.S. has surged to an all-time high of 46 million.

So, what does this mean for individuals and families in Northwest Arkansas? For many, it’s a reminder that renting isn’t just a temporary solution — it’s a smart, flexible lifestyle choice.

Why Renting Makes Sense in Today’s Market

1. Affordability & Flexibility

Today, the median-priced home requires an annual income of $127,000 just to cover the mortgage — a huge jump from $79,000 just a few years ago. For most households, that math just doesn’t add up.

Renting, on the other hand, offers predictable monthly costs without the added financial strain of a large down payment, property taxes, or maintenance expenses. Plus, renters enjoy the freedom to move as their lifestyle or job changes — something homeownership can’t easily accommodate.

2. Less Risk, Less Stress

In a volatile market, buying a home comes with risks. With property values fluctuating and interest rates still high, buying a home right now can feel more like a gamble than an investment. Renters avoid that uncertainty — no worrying about market crashes, surprise repairs, or whether it's the “right time” to buy.

3. Maintenance-Free Living

One of the biggest perks of renting? Letting someone else handle the maintenance. From landscaping to leaky faucets, repairs are on us — not on your wallet or weekend to-do list.

Renting Isn’t Settling — It’s a Smarter Way to Live Right Now

Whether you’re a young professional saving for the future, a retiree looking to downsize, or just someone who values flexibility and freedom, renting can provide the comfort, stability, and peace of mind you need — especially in today’s housing climate.

At Elder Management Company, we understand the local market and we’re here to help you find a rental that feels like home. With a range of properties in Fayetteville and surrounding areas, we’re proud to offer options that fit your lifestyle and your budget.

A Bold New Era for Bentonville

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 23:09:34 GMT

The Walton Family’s Vision for STEM Education

Northwest Arkansas continues to make headlines—and this time, it’s thanks to a visionary move from Steuart and Tom Walton, grandsons of Walmart founder Sam Walton. The two have unveiled plans to launch a new private university in Bentonville focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), helping position the region as a rising hub for innovation and economic development.

A University for the Future

Set on the site of Walmart’s original home office near downtown Bentonville, the future institution will offer flexible, modern programs tailored to fast-growing fields like automation, logistics, biomedical technology, and computing. With an expected inaugural class of 500 students—and room to grow—the university is designed to meet the evolving demands of today’s workforce and tomorrow’s economy.

According to the announcement, this won’t be a traditional university. Instead, it will embrace a dynamic, stackable credential model, making education more accessible and aligned with real-world job markets. Tuition will be fully covered for the initial cohort to attract driven, entrepreneurial students nationwide.

Why It Matters to Fayetteville (and All of NWA)

The creation of this STEM-focused university underscores the rapid transformation happening throughout Northwest Arkansas. What once was known solely as Walmart country is now a magnet for talent, innovation, and cultural development. From Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art to extensive bike trail systems and now, a groundbreaking educational institution, the region is becoming one of the most desirable places to live, work, and study.

This announcement signals a growing opportunity for property management professionals in Fayetteville and the surrounding areas. As Northwest Arkansas continues to attract students, faculty, tech professionals, and entrepreneurs, housing demand across the region—including Fayetteville—is poised to rise. The university will enrich Bentonville and ripple economic and cultural energy throughout the entire NWA corridor.

What’s Next

With construction and planning underway, and an eye toward a more agile, tech-forward education model, this university will be one to watch. For those living in Fayetteville—or considering a move to this growing region—now is an exciting time. The future is being built just up the road.

Looking for a place to call home in Northwest Arkansas? Our team at Elder Management Company is here to help you find the perfect spot to live, whether you’re a student, faculty member, or professional drawn to the new energy sweeping through our corner of the state.

Bentonville's Bike Boom

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 20:32:29 GMT

How a Small Arkansas Town Became a Cyclist’s Dream

Bentonville, Arkansas — once known mainly as the hometown of Walmart — has quietly transformed into one of the country’s most exciting cycling destinations, reports The New York Times . With over 160 miles of meticulously maintained trails and millions in private investment, the city is attracting both passionate bikers and curious visitors from across the country.

This transformation didn’t happen by accident. Since 2012, the Walton family — heirs to the Walmart fortune — have invested at least $74 million into developing a vast network of biking trails. Their vision was simple: make outdoor recreation accessible and appealing, both for locals and for the growing number of professionals relocating to the region.

Now, trails wind through the Ozarks, city streets are lined with bike racks, and even office buildings like The Ledger feature bike ramps spiraling up their exteriors. More than a third of Bentonville residents now ride at least once a month, and professional cycling events regularly bring in athletes, tourists, and media attention.

But it’s not just elite cyclists benefiting. The city’s infrastructure supports riders of all ages and skill levels, making it a family-friendly and inclusive destination. From toddlers on balance bikes to Olympic-level athletes, Bentonville has built a culture that invites everyone to ride.

This biking boom signals more than just weekend fun. It’s a major driver of tourism, quality of life, and long-term growth, not to mention the perfect scenario to raise an active family! The increased development and visibility are drawing in new residents — and with them, new housing needs. At Elder Management Company, we are here to help with exactly that! This once quiet town is now one of the most dynamic places to live, ride, and explore in the South. Be sure to visit our vacancies page today to find your space in this up-and-coming location!

Northwest Arkansas Housing Market

Thu, 22 May 2025 02:05:32 GMT

Defying National Trends

The latest Skyline Report , released by Arvest Bank and compiled by the University of Arkansas’ Center for Business and Economic Research, shows that the Northwest Arkansas housing market is not just stable—it’s growing, and going against national trends.

Strong Home Sales & New Construction Boom

In the second half of 2024, home sales in Benton and Washington counties surged by 14.2% compared to the same period in 2023. A total of 5,339 homes were sold, including a record-breaking 2,058 new construction homes—marking the highest number of new builds sold in the history of the Skyline Report. In fact, new builds made up nearly 39% of all home sales in the region.

Building Permits & Growth

While fewer homes were under construction compared to a year prior, building permit activity remains strong with 3,007 permits issued—the highest since 2006. This steady pace signals ongoing confidence and investment in the region’s housing market.

Multifamily Growth & Low Vacancy Rates

Northwest Arkansas continues to see a sharp rise in multifamily development. Over 7,300 new apartment units are currently under construction, with another 21,100 announced. Despite the influx, the regional vacancy rate remains low at just 3.3%, reflecting strong demand. Cities like Springdale and Bentonville saw notable drops in vacancy rates, even as thousands of new units are being added.

Rising Prices, Strong Demand

Home prices continue to climb, with the average Benton County home now priced at $449,750 and Washington County at $402,322. Both counties have seen home prices rise by more than 67% over the past five years.

What This Means for Property Investors and Renters

Northwest Arkansas continues to attract residents and developers alike, thanks to its strong job market, population growth, and relatively low housing inventory. Whether you're looking to invest, build, or rent, the region remains one of the most resilient and active housing markets in the country.

Living in Arkansas Is Smarter Than Ever

Tue, 06 May 2025 15:39:42 GMT

A Major Force Fueling Arkansas’ Economic and Community Boom

When people think of reasons to move to Arkansas, they often cite the natural beauty, low cost of living, and tight-knit communities. But thanks to a recently released economic impact study by Arkansas State University, there’s now $2.5 billion more reasons to consider calling the Natural State home.

Arkansas State University: A Growing Economic Powerhouse

According to a new study conducted by The Parker Strategy Group and published in spring of this year, Arkansas State University (A-State) is playing an increasingly powerful role in shaping the state’s economy. The numbers are impressive: A-State now generates $2.5 billion in economic impact across Arkansas. That’s a significant leap from the last study conducted in 2013 and a clear signal that the university is not only growing—but elevating the entire region with it.

For every $1 invested in A-State by the state of Arkansas, a remarkable $7.10 is returned. That’s the kind of return on investment any economist—or homeowner—can get behind.

Why This Matters for Residents

This isn’t just good news for students and staff; it’s good news for anyone living or investing in Arkansas. Property values tend to rise around thriving universities. A-State's growth translates into job creation, higher local spending, and infrastructure development—all of which improve the quality of life in surrounding communities.

In fact, the study found that A-State’s activities contribute $152.2 million annually in state and local tax revenues. That means better-funded schools, parks, roads, and public services—making neighborhoods safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable to live in.

A Hub for Education, Healthcare, and Business

A-State’s strongest programs—education, health professions, and business management—are producing highly skilled graduates who stay and work in Arkansas. Alumni alone accounted for nearly $2 billion in added economic value across the state. Plus, with a new veterinary program on the horizon and plans for a surrounding entertainment district, A-State is investing in both brains and lifestyle. These developments will not only bring jobs but also attract new businesses, events, and leisure options to the area—making it more appealing for professionals, students, and families alike.

A Bright Future in the Natural State

Whether you’re looking to buy your first home, relocate for work, or invest in rental property, Arkansas is positioning itself as a smart choice—economically, culturally, and educationally. The growth and influence of Arkansas State University are proof that the state is evolving and thriving.

And for those of us in property management, that means stronger markets, more renters, and better communities. It's a great time to live—and invest—in Arkansas. Visit Elder Management Company’s vacancies page today to start investing in your future!

Spring Property Maintenance

melianne1@gmail.com (Melianne Lussier) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 14:47:44 GMT

Checklist for Property Managers

Spring is the perfect time for property managers to assess and maintain their properties after winter’s wear and tear. Staying ahead of maintenance helps ensure tenant satisfaction, reduces costly repairs, and keeps properties looking their best. Here’s a strategic checklist to guide your spring maintenance efforts:

1. Inspect and Service HVAC Systems - Ensuring climate control systems are in top condition improves energy efficiency and tenant comfort:

Schedule HVAC inspections : Arrange professional tune-ups for air conditioning units before peak usage.
Replace air filters : Clogged filters reduce efficiency and affect indoor air quality.
Check common area ventilation : Ensure vents and ductwork are clean and unobstructed.

2. Evaluate Roofing, Gutters, and Drainage Systems - Prevent water damage and costly repairs by addressing winter-related wear:

Clear gutters and downspouts : Remove debris to prevent water buildup and structural damage.
Inspect roofs for damage : Look for missing shingles, leaks, or weak spots needing professional repair.
Check property drainage : Ensure water flows away from buildings to prevent foundation issues.

3. Refresh Landscaping and Exterior Spaces - Curb appeal plays a huge role in tenant retention and attracting new renters:

Trim trees and shrubs : Overgrowth can damage buildings, block walkways, or become a hazard.
Clean and repair hardscapes : Inspect sidewalks, parking lots, and patios for cracks or uneven surfaces.
Prepare irrigation systems : Test sprinklers and repair any broken components to ensure efficiency.

4. Address Common Area Maintenance - Shared spaces should be in top condition to maintain a high standard for residents and tenants:

Inspect and clean outdoor furniture : Power wash or replace worn-out pieces.
Pressure wash building exteriors : Remove dirt, mildew, and winter grime.
Test exterior lighting : Ensure walkways and parking lots are well-lit for safety.

5. Conduct Safety and Structural Checks - Regular inspections help mitigate liability risks and improve tenant safety:

Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors : Replace batteries and ensure all alarms are functional.
Inspect stairways and railings : Look for loose or broken handrails and steps.
Assess entryways and locks : Ensure security features, such as keypads and door locks, are fully operational.

By proactively handling these spring maintenance tasks, property managers can keep their buildings in excellent condition, improve tenant satisfaction, and reduce emergency repairs. If you need professional support, partnering with Elder Management Company can help streamline seasonal upkeep and long-term property care. Visit our vacancies page today to learn more!

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:55:03 GMT

The Shifting Homeowner Landscape

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 18:54:19 GMT

Why First-Time Buyers Are Older Than Ever

According to a recent article from ResiClubAnalytics , homeownership trends have undergone a dramatic shift in the past few years. The median first-time homebuyer age has climbed from 28 in 1991 to 38 in 2024—a transformation that reflects both economic realities and changing lifestyle priorities.

Why Are First-Time Homebuyers Getting Older?

Several factors are contributing to this shift:

Housing Affordability Challenges: Rising home prices and high mortgage rates are making it harder for younger buyers to enter the market.
Delayed Life Milestones: Many individuals are prioritizing education, career growth, and financial stability before committing to homeownership.
Economic Uncertainty: Student loan debt and a rising cost of living have forced younger generations to wait longer before buying a home.

What This Means for Northwest Arkansas

Northwest Arkansas is no exception to this nationwide trend. As the age of first-time homebuyers rises, the local real estate landscape is evolving in several key ways:

A Strong Rental Market: With fewer 20-something buyers, demand for rental properties continues to grow. This presents an opportunity for property owners looking to attract long-term tenants.
Changing Buyer Preferences: Older first-time buyers often seek move-in-ready homes in established neighborhoods rather than fixer-uppers.
More Cash Buyers & Downsizers: With the median repeat homebuyer age increasing from 42 in 1991 to 61 in 2024, more homeowners are leveraging their home equity to purchase properties outright, bypassing high mortgage rates.

What This Means for Property Owners

For investors and property owners in Northwest Arkansas, understanding these shifts is crucial. Whether you own rental properties or are considering selling, adapting to the changing needs of today’s buyers and renters can help you stay ahead. At Elder Management, we specialize in navigating these market changes to help renters to maximize their rental dollars. We provide the expertise needed to thrive in today’s evolving real estate environment.

Your Next Step

If you’re looking to capitalize on the shifting housing landscape, now is the time to act. Whether you're an investor, homeowner, or renter exploring your options, Northwest Arkansas presents a wealth of opportunities. Visit Elder Management’s propertypage today to learn more about our available rental properties. With over 30 years of experience in the area, we’re here to help you make the most of Northwest Arkansas’s dynamic market.

A New Era for Bentonville: Walmart's HQ

Sustainability Meets Community Growth

Elder Management has been developing, building, and managing properties in Northwest Arkansas since 1994. Over the years, we've witnessed incredible growth in the region, driven in part by major corporations like Tyson Foods and Walmart. Walmart, in particular, has expanded at an unprecedented pace and is now bringing its vision to life with a brand-new corporate campus in Bentonville, Arkansas, set for completion in 2025.

Of all the exciting features coming to the new campus, its emphasis on sustainability stands out the most. Designed with a regenerative approach, the campus will incorporate ponds and lakes that play a crucial role in managing stormwater, preventing erosion, and reducing the risk of flooding. Spanning over 13 acres, these reservoirs will filter and store over 50 million gallons of rain and groundwater annually, providing a sustainable water source for irrigation and maintenance.

Beyond benefiting the campus itself, this innovative water management system will also support the broader Northwest Arkansas community. The reservoirs will help replenish two essential local creeks with clean water, and during dry periods, they will have the ability to release additional water to Bentonville, ensuring a more stable water supply.

With such a transformative development taking shape, now is the perfect time to secure a home nearby. Elder Management offers prime rental options close to this rapidly growing corporate hub.

RENTING VS. BUYING

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 17:18:48 GMT

According to a recent feature on ABC World News, buying a home in the U.S. is now 35% more expensive than renting. With mortgage rates climbing to 6.85%—the highest in five months—homeownership is becoming increasingly costly. Experts predict these elevated rates will persist throughout 2025.

On average, a new home mortgage is around $3,000 per month, while renting a new apartment costs roughly $2,200—a difference that can add up quickly.

But the benefits of renting go beyond just saving money.

1. Predictable Costs, Less Risk

Renters enjoy consistent monthly payments without the surprise expenses of homeownership, like repairs or rising taxes. This stability allows for easier budgeting and peace of mind.

2. No Maintenance Hassles

From broken appliances to leaky roofs, homeowners bear the cost of upkeep. As a renter, maintenance is typically covered by the property management, saving time and money.

3. Flexibility and Freedom

Need to relocate for work or want to try a new neighborhood? Renting offers the freedom to move without the long-term commitment of owning a home.

At Elder Management, we provide high-quality living at affordable rates, offering comfort and convenience without the financial strain of buying.

In today’s market, renting isn’t just a temporary solution—it’s a smart choice. Explore our available properties and discover your next home today. Visit our property page to browse current rental opportunities and take the next step toward stress-free living.

Advantages of Townhomes vs. Apartments

When people search for rental properties in Northwest Arkansas, they often look for “apartments for rent,” inadvertently excluding townhomes from their search results. At Elder Management, we offer a variety of rental options, including townhomes, apartments, duplexes, homes, and condos. We want to help potential tenants understand the differences between renting apartments and renting townhomes so they can make an informed decision.

Townhomes are typically larger than apartments, offering more space for renters to enjoy. At Elder Management, the rent for townhomes and apartments is comparable, which means you don’t have to sacrifice affordability for extra space. While apartments are a great option, townhomes offer a unique set of benefits that many renters find appealing.

Here are a few advantages of choosing a townhome over an apartment:

No neighbors above or below you. One of the most common complaints about apartment living is the noise from neighbors above or below. Townhomes provide more privacy and a quieter living experience.
Enhanced fire protection. Due to stricter insulation and building requirements, townhomes often offer additional fire protection in the walls and ceilings, providing added peace of mind.
Garages are typically included. Many townhomes come with attached or nearby garages, offering convenient, weather-protected parking and extra storage space.
More privacy and independence. Townhomes are ideal for renters seeking a more private, independent lifestyle. With no shared walls on multiple sides, they offer a greater sense of seclusion compared to apartments.

At Elder Management, we offer a wide variety of properties to suit different lifestyles and preferences—whether you’re looking for a single-family home, a duplex, a townhome, or an apartment. We understand that finding the right living space is a big decision, and we encourage our potential tenants to explore all their options in Northwest Arkansas.

Tips and Tricks to Prevent Frozen Pipes in Your Home

With below freezing temperatures expected in the coming days, we have provided some tips to prevent frozen pipes and potential water damage in your apartment, townhomes and homes. It is critical to stay informed about weather updates and take necessary safety measures during this cold weather period:

Maintain consistent heat: Keep your thermostat set to a minimum of desired temperature, typically around 65 degrees Fahrenheit at all times, even when you are away.

Let faucets drip: Allow a slow drip from your kitchen and bathroom sink faucets to prevent water from freezing inside the pipes.

Open cabinet doors: Leave cabinet doors under sinks open to allow warm air to circulate around plumbing.

Check for drafts: Seal any noticeable drafts around windows and doors to maintain indoor warmth.

Disconnect outdoor hoses: Insulate any outdoor water hook ups with outdoor sleeves you can purchase at any local hardware store.

If you experience any plumbing issues, such as no water or suspected frozen pipes, contact Elder Management Company immediately!
