About
Northwest Arkansas, from the public record.
The 479 Report gathers what's being built, spent and decided in Benton and Washington counties: permits, sales tax, jobs, housing, rates and planning agendas. Every number is pulled from the agency that publishes it, charted, and dated.
The big market reports come out quarterly or twice a year, and the news covers real estate as one beat among many. The gap in between, what the region did this week, is what this site covers.
How the numbers are made
Every figure on this site traces to a public source with its as-of date attached: the U.S. Treasury, Freddie Mac, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, city permit records and published planning agendas, among others. Figures from private market reports are cited by name and never republished wholesale. When a number isn't available, the page says so instead of guessing. The full rules and every source are on the methodology page, and fixes are logged on the corrections page.
Disclosures
Content is market commentary and does not constitute investment, legal or tax advice. MLS data, where shown, appears as aggregates only. Any interest the publisher holds in a property discussed is disclosed alongside it. Errors and omissions excepted.
