Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Columbus currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge signaling a seller’s market and just 2.9 months of supply in the latest rolling three-month period through September 2026. Homes are not only limited but also moving faster than a year ago, as median days on market fell about 10 percent year over year to 41 days.
Price trends show a mixed picture in this rolling three-month view, with the typical home value edging up roughly 2 percent from last year while median list prices jumped nearly 19 percent over the same time. New listings increased about 19 percent year over year and pending sales rose more than 28 percent, indicating stronger buyer activity even as sellers test higher asking prices.
Underlying inventory and sales dynamics help explain the seller-favored conditions, with active listings down about 8 percent from a year earlier while homes sold ticked slightly higher. Momentum has also picked up recently, as homes sold and pending sales both doubled compared with the prior three-month period and months of supply dropped sharply from early summer levels. In this environment of tightening supply and solid demand, both buyers and sellers can benefit from working with an experienced local agent, and Agent Pronto can connect them with someone well suited to their goals.
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.
Whether you are relocating to Columbus or planning to sell and move on, a local real estate specialist can simplify decisions and reduce stress. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with agents who understand the area’s neighborhoods, market trends, and everyday realities.

“Carli is awesome! She's on top of her game. She listened to my questions, concerns, and was extremely helpful in guiding me through the sales process. I was kept up to date on perspective buyers and given weekly online analytics reports. I know I wasn't her only client, but it felt like I was with the attention to details and prompt responses to emails, text, and phone calls. I highly recommend Carli for her real estate prowes and old school work ethic.”

We told her what we were looking for and she advised us of any issues with the area or with some concerns that we wouldn't have even thought of. We had so many questions and she always had an answer. We HIGHLY recommend Katie! We have told all our friends and family how AMAZING she is!”

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!”

“My fiancé and I were relocating from Michigan to the Helena area and needed to move quickly due to a new career opportunity. On a short trip to Montana to explore the area and attend a job interview, I reached out to Golden West Properties just hoping to get some basic guidance. What I got instead was something extraordinary. Within three days, we had a meeting set up with both Sadie & Andy, and from the moment we met them, we felt instantly comfortable and taken care of. They weren’t just professional—they were warm, genuinely invested in our journey, and completely dialed in to what would be the best fit for our family. They listened to our needs, anticipated things we hadn’t even thought of yet, and treated our move like it mattered personally to them. Here’s the truly amazing part—they found us a home that matched our needs perfectly in just three days. We made an offer right away, and thanks to their expertise and dedication, we closed in just one month. Everything moved quickly, smoothly, and felt completely aligned with what we hoped for. Sadie and Andy have a vibe that’s honestly unmatchable—down-to-earth, smart, and incredibly kind. We never felt pressured, rushed, or like "just another client." Instead, we felt like we had true partners walking alongside us as we made one of the biggest decisions of our lives. If you're looking for realtors who are not only amazing at what they do but are also amazing people, Sadie & Andy are it. We can’t recommend them enough!”
