Inventory in Helena has tightened sharply, with only one active listing in the latest rolling three-month period, down from two in March 2026 and three in June 2024. Despite this low supply, the broader trend over the past couple of years shows inventory frequently fluctuating between one and five listings, and the current market gauge still points to a seller’s market.
Pricing has moved around as the small number of sales each period creates volatility, but the overall direction over the past two years has been upward from lower price points. Median sale prices ranged from about $52,500 at the end of 2023 to $150,000 in early 2025, with notable spikes such as $230,000 in late 2023 and $164,900 by mid-2025.
Days on market have also swung widely, from just 1 day in late 2024 to over 150 days in early 2025, showing that some homes move quickly while others take longer to find the right buyer. Evidence of negotiation has shifted as well, with half of homes selling above list in spring 2026 after long stretches when none did, reflecting changing buyer and seller expectations.
