Understanding the Changing Landscape of Northwest Arkansas Real Estate with NWALook

Hey, NWA friends!

This week on the I Am Northwest Arkansas® Podcast, we're excited to spotlight something that's making waves in our local community: real estate market intelligence you can actually use!

Host Randy Wilburn sat down with veteran real estate professionals Desiree Stock and Stuart Collier—the brains behind NWA Look, a data-driven newsletter breaking down Northwest Arkansas' rapidly-changing real estate landscape. Whether you’re a longtime resident, a newcomer, or even just thinking of making the big move, this episode is packed with practical insights you won’t want to miss.

What’s Inside This Week’s Episode:

  • Unpacking the NWA Real Estate Market: Desiree and Stuart share the story behind NWA Look—a uniquely unbranded newsletter offering in-depth, transparent data on home sales, price trends, infrastructure challenges, and more.

  • The Power of Local Data: Learn how historic and up-to-the-minute market analysis helps buyers, sellers, and investors understand opportunities in Fayetteville, Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, and beyond.

  • Challenges and Solutions: The crew discusses the struggles of housing supply, the importance of infrastructure (think water and sewer!), and what really drives development in NWA right now.

  • Building Community with Data, Not Hype: Hear why NWA Look is trusted by not just buyers and sellers, but by appraisers, out-of-state investors, and longtime locals alike.

  • Looking Ahead: Bigger plans are brewing for NWA Look, with a focus on empowering all of Northwest Arkansas with actionable info—without the sales pitch.

“Numbers never lie. When you’re getting accurate data, it’s hugely helpful—whether you’re a builder, a couple, or anyone wanting to understand where, when, and how to buy or sell.”


—Randy Wilburn, Host
