You are no doubt aware how the economic crash of 2008 damaged the housing market. Since that time, the housing market has recovered, which is excellent news for homeowners and prospective buyers across the United States.
Nationwide Real Estate
The housing market across the United States as a whole is healthy. The trend over the last several years has been towards rising home prices and quick sales.
In the last year alone the median home price has risen almost seven percent, according to real estate leader, Zillow. Of course, the danger here is another bust, like the one we saw about ten years ago.
Another sign in the real estate arena is the slowing of the housing market. This market is predicted to rise more slowly in the coming months. The trend is predicted to level slightly, around three percent over the next year.
The Bozeman, Montana Housing Market
Bozeman, Montana finds that their real estate situation is similar to the rest of the country as a whole. In fact, Bozeman home prices are a little higher on average than the rest of the country and have seen a steep increase in prices over recent years.
This price boost, spurred by high demand, is excellent news if you are looking to sell your home in the Bozeman area. This current trend is expected to continue over the next year, mirroring the country’s trajectory, though it will slow a bit.
