As the fourth largest state in the United States, with 3881 named mountains, Montana is fortunate to be home to the top majestic waterfalls in America.
Fortunately for all who reside or visit our
crystal-clear lakes and streams, vast ranches, and mountain ranges, there are endless opportunities to find uncrowded, off-the-beaten-path experiences—including the following details about Montana’s majestic waterfalls that await your discovery!
HOMES FOR SALE: The graph below shows a 5.5 year stretch of the number of homes for sale in the Montana Regional MLS from January 2019 to June 2024. There was a peak at around 3,800 homes for sale in mid 2019. Following this peak, the number of
homes for sale sharply declined, reaching a low of approximately 1,000 homes in early 2022. The market has experienced a gradual recovery with intermittent seasonal fluctuations. Notably, the number of homes for sale has risen, giving buyers more choices - The available homes are very similar to early 2019 again.
PENDING SALES: In contrast, since the "heyday" year of 2020, we've seen pending sales drop and heading into this year's summer season, we're seeing the same trend. Unlike the above chart of "Homes for Sale" the pending sales numbers are about half of what they were pre-covid in 2019 mid summer.
CLOSED SALES: Comparing mid-year in 2019 to today's mid-year numbers we can see about a 35% drop in closed sales - see chart below. Given that Pending Sales (see prior chart) is also showing a downturn heading mid-summer this does not bode well for an expectation of a summer boost.
REMARKS: The above charts are showing overall trends for all price ranges combined within a large NW Montana region. If you would find it helpful, we can provide a more dialed-in assessment of these trends in a specific price range, housing type (for example waterfront, home on large acreage
or condo, etc) and city or county. Armed with that knowledge sellers can assess their motivation and competitive position with other homes or land to decide if their pricing is on target or an adjustment would be beneficial.
