Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Columbus is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market. Limited inventory is a big factor, as months of supply has tightened to about 2.1 months in this rolling three-month view, down sharply from a year ago.
Prices show a mixed picture in the latest rolling three-month period. The typical home value is about $315,000, down roughly 8% year over year, while the median list price has inched up around 5% from a year earlier, suggesting sellers are still aiming higher even as closed values soften.
Activity trends highlight how quickly conditions can shift in a smaller market. Compared with a year ago, homes sold in the rolling three-month window are up more than 50%, yet active listings have been cut by nearly half and new listings are down more than 60%, while typical days on market have shortened to about 81 days. With just 10 active listings, 7 pending sales, and no recent sales closing above list price, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these dynamics and can guide them through the Columbus market.
Learn more about what Columbus has to offer.
Columbus offers residents a close-knit community with easy access to outdoor recreation, strong local services, and a welcoming, active lifestyle.
Columbus sits along the Yellowstone River at the junction of Interstate 90 and Highway 78, giving residents easy access to Billings to the east and the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness to the south. The town serves as the commercial and service hub of Stillwater County, with everyday needs close at hand and larger-city amenities within a straightforward drive.
Life in Columbus is shaped by the outdoors and practical convenience. The riverfront and nearby Itch-Kep-Pe Park offer fishing, camping, and community events. Families make use of local schools in the Columbus School District along with the Stillwater County Library for programs and resources. A walk through downtown brings you to locally owned cafes and shops, including spots like City Brew Coffee for a quick stop before a commute to Laurel or Billings.
Daily living is straightforward. Health care services, groceries, and fuel are close to residential neighborhoods, and winter driving routes are well known to locals. Residents appreciate that they can be on a trail, at a ball field, or on the river within minutes of leaving home, while still having access to broader employment and shopping options in Yellowstone County.

“The amount of gratitude we have for Cari is beyond words. As first time homebuyers this was a huge feet to accomplish and Cari made sure to keep us informed, connected, and confident every step of the way. Our journey began somewhat rocky with our first lender and prospective house, but Cari provided us with an amazing contact at Stockman Bank and THE BEST INSPECTOR, at Tightline home inspections. We were house hunting a little out of town and Cari showed up for us in every way. From the inspection walk throughs, to the spam text messages I sent her throughout the day, she was absolutely amazing. We will recommend Cari time and time again. She truly puts every ounce of heart into her clients!”

She helped us find a lender, roofer, insurance, etc. We just moved to FL and didn’t know anybody and she worked so closely with us to make sure we were comfortable with every step in the process. She’s extremely responsive, a problem solver and the most lovely, kind person you could ever hope to work with. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and we absolutely love our new home!”
