Luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers—which has an average selling price of about $1.2 million—announced on Tuesday that it has signed an agreement to buy Fayetteville-based Buffington Homes of Arkansas, marking both CEO Karl Mistry’s first big move since taking the helm at Toll Brothers in March and the builder’s entry into the fast-growing Bentonville, Arkansas market.
Founded in 2010, Buffington Homes is the largest luxury homebuilder in northwest Arkansas and currently operates nine active or upcoming communities across the area, according to Toll Brothers. Buffington Homes owns or controls more than 1,500 lots in the northwest Arkansas market, giving Toll Brothers a sizable land pipeline as it expands its national footprint.
The Bentonville, Arkansas housing market is located in one of the nation’s fastest-growing population areas. Between July 2024 and July 2025, the population of Benton County, Arkansas, jumped +3.3%, compared to a +0.5% increase in the U.S. population over the same time frame.
