Spending Saturday on due diligence and market research for the Downtown Springdale corridor. We already have one offer in and we’re dancing on a million dollar property for a multi-million dollar project! Hoping to have O & A soon…

I could spend all day looking at parcel and topo maps overlayed with building outlines and flood zone elevations. Being a part of investments that change your city is exciting stuff!

If you are investing in real estate we should be talking about the massive ROI that exists in Downtown Springdale over the next couple of years from purchases made today.

Are you a Walmart shareholder?

If so, congratulations on your 3-1 stock split and impending financial windfall. With shares plunging under $60/share after the split the availability to the general public is higher than it has been in decades. Over the past five years Walmart has grown 75% or an average of 15% year over year even with a stock price well over $100/share. With Walmart’s continued growth and commitment to expansion we can expect to see excellent returns going forward for many in NWA.

One of the greatest tools used by the wealthy to build greater wealth is a Securities Based Line Of Credit. You can borrow against your stock portfolio without having to pay capital gains taxes and yet still have the funds to further build your investment portfolio.

If you want to talk about how we can accomplish this and how we find these properties reach out and let’s get on the phone.

There are so many opportunities each week to buy single family homes, duplexes, apartments or raw land that have the potential to produce double digit returns.

I have a group of clients labeled investors in my phone that each time something becomes available I shoot it out to them, with some measure of due diligence, to see if it works for them.

I have a profile for each investor and it reminds me of exactly what type of real estate investments they’re looking for and what their threshold is for their minimum ROI.

If you’d like to be added to the list reach out to me and I’ll make sure the best deals in NWA stay on your phone or are sent to your inbox.

Walt Williams - Realtor I am a licensed Realtor who has lived in Northwest Arkansas for nearly 40 years.

Real estate is the best personal investment you can make. Instead of renting and paying someone else’s mortgage on your property you’re making a monthly deposit in YOUR future.

In 2023 we sold the fewest homes since 1995. Which means with lower interest rates on the horizon we have people itching to buy this year. You have a short window to get in and buy your new home before rates drop and home prices jump. That’s just the way it works. You can’t renegotiate your principle amount but you can always refinance when rates drop down the road.

If I can be of service to you in any way please do not hesitate to call.

Interested in owning rentals? Let’s talk…

Every day I am communicating with investors in Northwest Arkansas about investment properties. Would you like to be on that call or text list? Just let me know.

There are properties that hit the MLS. If they’re a good value they last about 1 day. You have to be ready to act. If they’re off market deals I can call you and we can talk them through. Ask all the pertinent questions and evaluate the financial health of the investment.

We’re looking at the properties to determine the condition of the property. Has it been remodeled? Has the roof, water heater and HVAC been replaced? Is there a big lot and possibility for a lot split and additional units? Will it tote the note and if so what kind of positive cash flow are we looking at? What is the year-over-year appreciation of the area surrounding the property? The list goes on…

All these things are important. It doesn’t cost you a dime to be given information. If you’d like to be a part of that circle I’m building reach out and let me know.

“You’ll never become who you can be, if you’re not willing to sacrifice who you are.”

It’s only been a few weeks ago, but I can’t remember who said the above quote. But it stuck to my bones. Comfort is by far the greatest enemy to growth. My life and career today are living proof of that.

If you’re doing something well, I’d love to hear about it. Regardless of the field you’re in, I’d like to celebrate the wins with you. So often in life we loathe the losses far greater than we celebrate the wins. Let’s make sure the sacrifice we’re making is worth the celebration we’re planning when YOU succeed.

Spent the better part of my day in Shadow Valley. The last few months have given me a strong education in Bentonville and Cave Springs seeing dozens of homes in places like Shadow Valley, Scissortail, St. Valery Downs, Healing Springs, Pinnacle, Otter Creek and Downtown Bentonville.

Lots of market research on appreciation in those areas as well as amenities in each location. It’s been a crash course, but also one that will benefit many of my buyers for years to come.

Market research is critical when deciding to make your home purchase. For most of us buying a home is the most impactful financial decision we will ever make. I hope you’ll be blessed with an agent willing to dive into the data to determine what’s best for you.

Ask yourself if the home you’re considering is priced appropriately based on a Comparative Market Analysis of the area you’re buying in. Determine if it is a good capital investment to upgrade the home and what the return will be on that investment. Finally, look at appreciation in the city, county and even more specifically the neighborhood you’re planning on buying in. This will give you a good idea what type of long term investment you’re getting in to.

I’d love to be the one doing this work for you. This morning I’m working on research for a $1M+ home in Benton County. There’s no replacement for data and the math.

“No days off.” - Bill Belichick

There are always reasons to not be honing your craft. Yesterday was long and restless. I didn’t sleep much, but when I woke up this morning I made the decision to use this day to further my knowledge of the development opportunities available to my investor clients.

There will be an excuse almost any day you want one for why you can’t work on your career. In a quick review of my social media feeds some of the best Realtors in NWA haven’t let this weather phase them. They’re in stride, on the grind and working the market today.

If I can ever be of service to you please let me know.

You can buy a house…

Without speaking in absolutes I can tell you so many people who are renting can actually BUY THEIR OWN HOME if paired with the right Realtor and lender

Don’t have the down payment? There are multiple down payment assistance programs.

Don’t have the money for closing costs? Let’s write an offer creatively structured to get them covered.

Waiting for interest rates to drop? Talk to a real estate professional who can go over appreciation year-over-year and the increase in home values when rates fall.

Dont know where to start? Give me a call and we will get you with some quality lenders who can help your process.

Best part? All this is free to you! Later this evening I’ll offer more detailed info. But this photo is one of dozens full of houses with close cost assistance and rate buy down money.

In 2024 I want to amplify my investment in Springdale, my hometown. As I considered how fortunate I’ve been these last few months I thought “how can I impact as many families as possible in a positive way”. Here’s what I determined.

When I pass the $5 million in real estate sold, which I believe will happen in the first quarter, I will donate $10,000 to pay off past due lunch accounts in the Springdale School District.

This is my public pledge to act and my challenge to other Realtors to join me. Not to match what I give, though many are more successful than I and can do so. But to contribute something to the idea that we can take this small worry off the plates of our Springdale families. I’ve begun the conversation of getting the full amount owed in our elementary schools and it is my sincere hope that myself and others can zero out this debt.

If I can ever be of any service to you please don’t hesitate to call me. If you’d like me to represent you in your real estate dealings not only will you get an incredible advocate in your transactions, you will contribute to this project helping our community.

508 Elmdale Drive
Springdale, AR

This home sits directly behind Elmdale Elementary School, just 6 minutes from I-49 and 5 minutes from Downtown Springdale. The $10,000 in seller concessions with an acceptable offer are perfect for the first time home buyer or the person who just needs a little help with closing costs. There will also be enough left over to buy down the rate as well!!!

The house is 1,125 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It has a good sized living area that opens into an eat in kitchen with a bar area. The back yard is very large with a gate that goes straight to Elmdale Elementary. It’s perfect for entertainment or play and is fenced on 3 sides.

In this price range with the huge incentives this one shouldn’t last long. Let’s get on the phone with our buyers and get this thing sold!

Got up this morning and hit the ground running. Measured out this house that will hit the MLS within the hour and have been working to set up showings for another client for tomorrow.

I hope you had a blessed and wonderful holiday. If you’re turning your eyes toward real estate moves going into 2024 I’d love to be of service to you.

As these sales and production reports roll out each month I hope the friends and clients who have made them possible understand just how thankful I am for their continued trust and relationships.

Real estate is about a lot of things. It’s about hard work, for those doing it right. It’s about the math, when you’re assisting with their viability to purchase and what amount they can afford. But most of all it’s about the relationships. Finding the property that improves their family’s quality of life financially or the one that just moves their soul when the step inside

If I can be of service to you in any way please do not hesitate to ask.

As promised earlier here is a look as some theoretical examples of interest rates and what a 1% difference can make in your monthly payment. Rates continue to fall and on Zillow yesterday it showed rates as low as 6.26% on 30-year conventional loans. No credit guidelines were relayed.

There’s going to be a tipping point in this country where people who have been saying, “I’m just not going to buy at 8%”, jump back I to the market. There are no guarantees, but my informed opinion says that when we see a 5 on the front end of mortgage rates we’re going to see a spike in loan applications and when that happens you’re going to see home prices begin to rise again.

You have a very short window of a few months here where rates have fallen and mortgage applications haven’t risen commensurate to that fall yet. But when they do home prices will surely climb. It’s the way the American housing market works. Buy now at the better price per square foot and refinance in late 2024 after we’ve seen the few forecasted rate cuts from the fed. It’s not a sales line, it’s good advice.

If I can be of service to you in any way please feel free to call me.

Full disclosure…I’m exhausted, and with just 11 days left in the year and the holidays fast approaching it would be easy to rest on what I have closing in January. Which is going to be close to $3 million. But there are people who still need our help as Realtors.

If you’re on here it is likely you saw the graphic yesterday shared or posted about 100 times where interest rates have been plummeting. So much so that 30 year conventionals are in the low 6’s and FHA rates have fallen into the 5’s. But what does that really mean to you? Later this evening I will present some graphics to lay out for you what those interest rate drops can mean from a monthly payment perspective as well as ways you can get into a home with no down payment and get your closing costs paid as well.

If your credit is decent YOU CAN BUY A HOME and be building equity instead of paying someone else’s note off. I can show you how. Let’s get to work…
