What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know Right Now


As Bozeman’s real estate market rounds out the first half of 2025, the data tells a clear story: prices are softening, inventory is increasing, and buyers are gaining leverage they haven’t had in years. If you're looking to buy or sell a home in Bozeman, Montana, here's what you need to know based on closed, expired, and canceled listings from January through June 2025.


1. Pricing Trends: June 2025 vs. YTD and May

Year-to-date, Bozeman’s median home price is $999,950, with an average of $1.46M. However, we’re seeing a month-over-month cooling trend:


May 2025

June 2025

YTD (Jan–June)

Median Sale Price

$853,814

$880,000

$999,950

Median $/Sq Ft

$378.47

$365.64

$411.23

Median DOM

22 days

16 days

31 days

Key Takeaway:

  • June saw a slight rebound in median price from May, but homes are selling for less per square foot, indicating continued price sensitivity.

  • Days on market dropped to 16 days, which shows buyers are ready—but only for homes priced appropriately.


2. Sold vs. Expired or Canceled Listings

An in-depth look at listings from January to June shows stark contrasts in success rates across price points and listing strategies.

Breakdown by Price Segment:

Price Range

Common Outcome

$550K–$950K

Most active and successful resale market (shortest DOM)

$1.2M–$1.7M

Moderate activity, longer time to sell

$1.7M+

High expiration and cancellation rate

Observations:

  • Homes priced over $1.7M had the highest DOM and were significantly more likely to expire or be canceled.

  • Lower- to mid-tier properties moved fastest and were most likely to close successfully.

  • We noted specific firms with multiple expired luxury listings, highlighting how overpricing—even with strong marketing—can stall progress.


3. The Real Impact of Overpricing

Overpricing is proving to be one of the biggest threats to seller success in Bozeman right now.

What the Numbers Show:

  • Homes priced at or just below market value often sold within 2–3 weeks.

  • Listings that were 8–15% over market on day one? Many saw 60+ days on market, price reductions, or expired without a sale.

  • Final sale prices were often lower than what could’ve been achieved with realistic pricing upfront.

📣 For Sellers: Just like last month's data shows us, this is not the time to “test the market.” Overpricing is no longer a cushion—it’s a liability.


4. Market Sweet Spots: What’s Selling Fast

Based on sales velocity and pricing outcomes, here are Bozeman’s hottest market segments right now:

Sweet Spot Segment

Why It’s Hot

🏠 Townhomes & Condos < $550K

Entry-level demand from local buyers and investors

🏡 Single-Family Homes $675K–$950K

Relocating families, strong price-to-value ratio

🛏️ 3-bed, 2-bath (1,500–2,200 sq ft)

Functional, mid-sized homes with broad appeal

Neighborhoods Seeing Movement:

  • West Bozeman

  • Near MSU

  • Four Corners (especially for townhomes under $500K)

These segments are not just selling faster, they’re also less likely to expire or cancel, making them attractive for sellers seeking confidence and buyers looking for value.


Final Thoughts: What This Means for You

If You’re Buying:

  • You now have more inventory, more negotiation power, and a shot at concessions.

  • Homes are still selling fast—especially the well-priced ones—so be ready to act quickly when the right home hits.

If You’re Selling:

  • You need to be precise with your pricing, strategic with your prep, and clear-eyed about the market shift.

  • Overpricing will cost you time, leverage, and potentially the sale itself.
