Missoula, MT Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Missoula, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Missoula sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of August 2026.

The snapshot

  • Closings tracked, last 6 months: 544
  • Median sold price, last 6 months: $540,000
  • Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $322
  • Middle half of sales closed between: $439,900 and $699,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 544 closed sales in Missoula over the last six months, with a median closing price of $540,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $439,900 and $699,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 542 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $264 and $382 per square foot.

How long a sale takes here

  • Listed to under contract: a median of 18 days, across 81 Missoula closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
This is measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own dates. That is why this count is smaller than the 544 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold the dates it needs.

The Missoula angle

Across 544 closings Resideline tracked in Missoula over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $540,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $439,900 and $699,000. That band is on the tighter side of the markets we track, which gives the median more predictive weight than it would carry elsewhere and makes an unusual subject the main source of pricing error. More of the band lies above the median than below it, so verify an upward adjustment against actual closings rather than a rule of thumb.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 12,516+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Missoula address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
