Every year, every spring we hear the same thing. It’s the best month to sell a house in Bozeman! And when it comes to selling a home most eager real estate agents instinctually begin yelling. “Sell Sell Sell! Better move now! Why think about it?” Therefore for several years now, it’s been hard to dispute the rather loud statistics.

It has been an absolute blood bath for first time home buyers. Meanwhile, every month has been the best month to sell a home, going on 5-6 years.
New homes, Modern Architectural, historical, craftsman, bungalows, condos, townhomes, new homes, investment properties, all disappearing. Snatched up from the market in days, if not hours. The fact is that mostly cash buyers were ready to go, and the remaining pool of buyers increasingly more frustrated with the lack of quality inventory.
But today is a different day (if you can even remember what day it is), with a much different set of circumstances driving our global economy. Is this a good month to sell a house?
