📊 Yellowstone County Real Estate Snapshot – September 2026 🏡

The summer sunshine and warm weather may be gone, but the local market is still moving! While real estate activity often slows heading into winter, that gives buyers a great opportunity to find their perfect match and gives sellers time to tackle checklists before selling. Any season can be a great time to buy or sell—especially when working with White Lotus Realty.

Median Home Price: $389,000
– Down slightly from last month, but still up year-over-year.

Median Days on Market: 44 days
– Houses are moving a bit slower than last month, as expected with the seasonal shift.

Months Supply of Inventory: 4.5 months
– A slight increase from last month, giving buyers more options to choose from.

List-to-Sale Price Ratio: 98.2%
– Remarkably steady over the last 6 months, showing sellers are consistently getting close to asking price—a strong sign of buyer confidence in our market.

📈 Interest Rate Context – Then vs. Now

National September 2026 Mortgage Rates:
