Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Sanders County real estate market. *
May 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Inventory in Sanders County is relatively elevated, with 132 active listings in May, up slightly from the prior month even as new listings dipped year over year. Contract activity has cooled, as pending sales are down about a quarter compared with last year and months of supply has risen to 7.1, signaling more options and slower absorption than the Montana average of 5.5 months.
Pricing is adjusting to these conditions, with the typical home value around $473,000 in May, down sharply from April yet still up nearly 10% from a year earlier. Sellers are also asking a bit less than the prior month, as the median list price slid more than 16% month over month while remaining roughly flat compared with last year.
Market pace has shifted notably, with median days on market dropping to 55 from very high levels earlier in the year, and about 31% of homes are going under contract within two weeks. Homes sold edged higher than a year ago even as overall activity trails the broader state, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who understands how to navigate today’s conditions in Sanders 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!”
“Stephanie is a rockstar! We could not be more happy with our experience finding our first home using Stephanie as our agent. She went above and beyond to help make this a success experience for us. 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!”
