TL;DR: The median home price in Gravette was $387,000 as of July 2026, about $215 per square foot (Movoto).
Sales Rise Even As Days On Market Grow
Gravette's housing market moved in two directions at once in July 2026: more homes sold, and each one took longer to close. Eighty-four homes sold in Gravette that month, compared with 61 in July 2025, while the average time to sell a home rose to 79 days, up from 61 days a year earlier (Movoto). Those two figures do not tell the same story — one describes a market getting busier, the other a market getting slower — and a buyer or seller weighing Gravette should read them as two separate signals rather than a single trend.
The price backdrop for that activity: the median home in Gravette sold for $387,000 as of July 2026, about $215 per square foot (Movoto). That per-square-foot figure gives buyers a straightforward way to compare a Gravette listing against homes elsewhere in the county on a size-adjusted basis, rather than judging purely by the headline price. For a seller, the move from 61 to 79 days argues for pricing at the market from the first day rather than testing a higher number and adjusting later, since buyers now have more comparable listings to weigh before writing an offer. For a buyer, that longer window leaves more room to schedule inspections, line up financing and negotiate contingencies without the pace that defined the market a year earlier. Taken together, the price, the volume and the days-on-market figures describe a market where more people are choosing Gravette than a year ago, even as none of them are in a rush to close.
Population Grew 10.6% Since The 2020 Census
Gravette has been adding residents steadily enough to reshape its footprint. World Population Review's 2026 estimate puts the population at 3,952 — a modeled projection rather than a fresh count — up about 10.6% from the 3,573 residents counted in the 2020 Census.
Three exits off Interstate 49 serve Gravette directly, and the Bella Vista Bypass now bypasses Hiwasse, which is part of Gravette. That highway access keeps a growing town connected to the rest of Benton County without routing all of its traffic through a single road. Ownership costs stay predictable alongside that growth: Benton County property tax runs approximately 0.6% of assessed value in 2026 (Tax-Rates.org), a rate that is fixed and easy to project out over a full year of ownership, unlike costs that move with the market. Together, the highway network and the tax rate make Gravette straightforward to evaluate against any other town in Benton County, cost by cost.
New Homes From D.R. Horton Start At $256,000
D.R. Horton is building two subdivisions in Gravette, Spavinaw Village and West Wind, with three- and four-bedroom homes priced from $256,000 to $299,000 (NewHomeSource). That range positions Gravette as the more affordable new-construction option on the I-49 corridor, without pushing buyers outside commuting distance of Bentonville. Buyers weighing the two subdivisions are largely choosing between floor plans and price points within that same range, since both developments sit inside the same stretch of the corridor.
Arkansas Highway 72 runs east-west across Benton County, connecting Maysville to downtown Bentonville and continuing east to U.S. Route 62 — the road that ties Gravette's newer subdivisions into the rest of the region. The drive from Gravette to Bentonville covers about 17.8 miles, roughly a 23-minute trip, short enough for a resident to keep a Gravette address while working in Bentonville's job market. That combination of drive time and highway access keeps the corridor squarely inside commuting range of the Bentonville job market.

Manufacturing Jobs And An 1893 Museum Anchor Gravette
Gravette's job base runs on manufacturing and logistics rather than retail or tourism. Major employers include R & R Solutions, which handles packaging and logistics, along with Hendren Plastics and Insul-Bead. That concentration of industrial employers gives the local economy a steadier floor than a town built around one large employer or a seasonal trade, since production schedules, not a calendar of events, set the pace of local paychecks.
The Gravette Historical Museum, housed in the 1893 Kindley House, opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is a small but functioning piece of civic infrastructure, the kind of institution a town maintains when it plans to stay around, not just grow. For a buyer weighing Gravette against a newer subdivision with no civic center of its own, that museum is a marker of an established community rather than one still being built from scratch. Together, the employer base and the museum describe a town with steady income and its own identity, not one built overnight.
