Upper Rattlesnake’s rolling three-month data through August 2026 shows home values moving higher than a year ago, even as activity cools. The typical home value is up about 7% year over year, while the median list price is down compared with last year, suggesting sellers are pricing more cautiously. Compared with the broader Missoula market, Upper Rattlesnake’s typical home value sits well above the city’s median sale price.
Recent conditions illustrate a market adjusting after a busier period. Active listings are down nearly 30% from a year ago, and homes sold have fallen by more than 20%, yet pending sales are also lower, pointing to reduced turnover overall. Inventory has tightened modestly year over year, with months of supply edging down and sitting slightly below Missoula as a whole.
Looking at the latest three-month window, buyers are seeing more time to make decisions, with homes spending around a month and a half on the market on a typical sale. At the same time, none of the recent sales closed above list price in this period, and new listings are down by about half from last year, which limits options for shoppers. With a seller-leaning environment but softer pricing trends, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an experienced local agent, and Agent Pronto can connect them with someone who knows the Upper Rattlesnake market well.
