A real, disclosed cross-source spread

This pass found Big Sky's typical/median home value ranging from approximately $1,643,261 to approximately $1.78 million across sources -- both dramatically above Montana's own $467,919 statewide average.

Montana's highest affordability ratio

Big Sky's affordability ratio ran 17.2 per one cited source -- the HIGHEST in Montana -- meaning buying on a local income alone is genuinely, effectively impossible without outside equity.

A real, disclosed second-home-dominated market

A real 64.9% vacancy rate reflects the market's dominant second-home/investment-property character -- nearly two-thirds of housing units sit empty most of the year.
