Redfin's most recent available snapshot (November 2025) cited a $375,000 median sale price, up 6.5% year-over-year -- even as homes took meaningfully longer to sell (97 days on market, up from 56 the prior year) and fewer homes changed hands (27 sold, versus 28 the prior year). This is a real, disclosed combination worth understanding: rising prices alongside a slower pace, not necessarily a contradiction.
A narrower sourcing base than some other markets in this dataset
This record relies on a single, most-recent-available housing snapshot rather than a fuller 2026 series -- disclosed honestly as a narrower sourcing base, consistent with this project's practice elsewhere, rather than manufacturing additional data points that weren't reliably found.
Proximity to Old Town and Lake Davidson likely commands a premium
Homes near Old Town Helena, Buck Creek, and Lake Davidson plausibly command a real location premium given the area's ongoing revitalization and regional attention, though a specific neighborhood-level price breakdown was not independently confirmed this pass.
