Housing Market in Great Falls
Great Falls' 2026 housing market runs genuinely more affordable than the national figure on Zillow's cited typical-value metric, though this record discloses a real, unresolved tension with a separate, meaningfully higher and faster-rising median sale price citation.

Learn moreA Genuinely More Affordable Typical Value, on One Metric
Zillow's cited typical home value ran approximately $305,137 (up ~5.4% YoY) -- roughly 25% below the cited ~$408,776 national median sale price used consistently across this project's records, a real, genuine affordability advantage, though genuinely more modest than several other Tier A+ markets in this project's dataset.
A Real, Disclosed Cross-Source Tension on the Actual Median Sale Price
This record discloses a genuine tension directly rather than smoothing it over: Houzeo's own cited median SALE price ran approximately $357,500 -- meaningfully higher than Zillow's typical-value figure -- and described as up approximately 17.21% year-over-year, a genuinely faster and more substantial rise than Zillow's cited value trend. Buyers should confirm current, specific listing and closed-sale data directly.
A Genuine, Disclosed Inventory and Supply Tension
Inventory grew substantially (up approximately 68.48% year-over-year to approximately 278 homes for sale as of March 2026) even as months-of-supply tightened (1.73, down from 2.07 the prior year) -- a real, disclosed combination this record does not fully reconcile to one clean buyer's-market or seller's-market framing.
Neighborhood-Level Variance Was Not Researched to Comparable Depth This Pass
This record did not independently research Great Falls neighborhood-level price variance to comparable depth this pass -- see the best-areas topic page for what this record did confirm, and buyers should confirm current, specific listing and closed-sale data directly for a target neighborhood.
Confirm a Target Property's Current Hazard Exposure
As detailed on the flood-hurricane-risk topic page, Great Falls carries real, multi-peril hazard exposure (wildfire, seasonal Missouri River flooding, hail) -- this record's own web-search budget was exhausted before a current First Street Foundation percentage-of-properties-at-risk figure could be confirmed this pass, so confirm a specific target property's current hazard status directly via FEMA flood maps or a similar current source.
Key takeaways
- Zillow's cited Great Falls typical home value ran approximately 25% below the cited 2026 national median, though a separate median-sale-price citation ran meaningfully higher and rose faster.
- This record discloses a real, unresolved tension between Zillow's typical-value metric and Houzeo's median-sale-price metric -- confirm current, specific listing data directly.
- Inventory grew substantially even as months-of-supply tightened -- a real, disclosed combination this record does not resolve to one clean market framing.
- This record did not research Great Falls neighborhood-level price variance in comparable depth this pass -- confirm current, address-specific data directly for a target area.
- Confirm a target property's current wildfire and flood-risk status directly -- this record could not confirm First Street's precise percentage figures for Great Falls this pass.
