Buyer demand is picking up across Northwest Montana, and homes are selling faster than they were last year. According to NMAR, average Days on Market are down 16.3% year over year across the regional MLS.

That said, market conditions can vary a lot depending on the county and property type. Listings tend to move fastest from May through September, which makes this a strong time to sell.

In general, residential lots near town centers like Thompson Falls or Superior sell more quickly, while larger rural parcels and bare land usually take longer to move.

If you’re thinking about listing, timing and pricing matter more than ever🏡❤️

You found the house, negotiated the price, and signed the purchase agreement. 🎉 You’ve officially entered the Escrow phase, and there are 5 crucial things you need to know before you get the keys!

1️. You’re in Escrow 🔒
An independent third party now holds your "earnest money" deposit and the seller’s documents. No funds are released until both you and the seller fulfill every single term of the contract.

2️. The Lender’s Checklist Begins
If you’re getting a mortgage, your lender won’t fund the loan until they run a few checks. This includes a title search, which digs into the property's history to ensure ownership is completely clear of any hidden liens, disputes, or back taxes, as well as securing your homeowners insurance.

3️. The Appraisal Matters
Lenders will send a licensed appraiser to verify the home is actually worth what you agreed to pay. If the appraisal comes back lower than the purchase price, it can impact how much you can borrow. Having an appraisal contingency protects you here!

4️. Inspections Provide Peace of Mind
While not always mandatory, a home inspection is a win-win for everyone. A professional look at the home’s interior and exterior ensures no unexpected surprises after moving in. It’s a great opportunity to validate the home's condition, and ensure a smooth, confident path to the closing table with zero last-minute hurdles!

5️. Bringing it All Together 🔑
This whole process usually takes several weeks because everyone is working on different timelines. On Closing Day, you’ll sign the final paperwork, bring your "cash to close" (down payment + fees, minus your initial earnest money), and finally get the keys!

Buying or selling in this market can feel like a whirlwind, but you don't have to navigate it alone!

Just in time for peak homebuying season! Mortgage rates have been trending down in recent weeks. Per Freddie Mac, 30-year rates are over 0.5% lower than last year.

To put that in perspective, someone purchasing a $500,000 home in spring 2025 would pay almost $200 more per month on their mortgage than a person buying that same home today. 🔑

We'd love to connect and talk about what's going on in your local Montana spring market. 🌸
