Montana’s Hottest Real Estate Market – Bozeman Real Estate Boom 2021

No one ever imagined that 2020 would be a record sales year for Bozeman, with $1.08 billion in closed residential sales.

Inventory continues to fall in last quarter of 2021, with the number of listings of homes, condos, and townhouses together at 126, down from a recent record high of 400 last May (2020) and down from a mid-decade, March 2015, high of 540. So how much does just a Bozeman home cost at this time? How much do homes cost in Gallatin County as a whole?

Chart 3: November 2021, the number of residential properties for sale, (*homes, condos, townhomes) began falling in May 2020 for all of Bozeman, from a high of 399  listings to the present 126 listings.

New listings numbers are falling all year, from 1896 in Q1 to 1754 Q4 2021. This drop in new listings is just another component of why houses cost so much in Bozeman.

Total residential for sale numbers began rising early this year, nonetheless, this year’s numbers are historically lower than usual. The primary reason for low numbers in 2021 is most likely due to high home sales in 2020, and…

…apparently, fewer than normal Bozeman real estate owners want to sell in 2021. Bozeman has been found and way more want to stay than leave.

The forecast is for this historic trend–fewer residential properties for sale in Bozeman–to continue into 2022.
