Dear Missoula Residents,

The Missoula housing market has been a hot topic of discussion for quite some time, and it’s not difficult to see why. With record-low inventory and skyrocketing prices, finding a home in Missoula has become increasingly difficult. In this newsletter, we’ll take a closer look at the current state of the Missoula housing market and what it means for both buyers and sellers.

The State of the Missoula Housing Market

In addition, inventory levels have been hovering around historic lows, with just 149 homes on the market as of February 2023.

What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, the current state of the Missoula housing market can be frustrating. With so few homes on the market, it can be difficult to find a home that meets your needs and budget. Additionally, the high prices can make it challenging to afford a home in your desired neighborhood.

Additionally, it’s important to be prepared to act quickly when you find a home that you’re interested in.

What This Means for Sellers

For sellers, the current state of the Missoula housing market is excellent news. With low inventory and high demand, it’s a great time to sell your home.However, it’s important to keep in mind that just because the market is hot doesn’t mean that your home will automatically sell for top dollar.
