If you're moving to Bozeman Montana or buying in the Gallatin Valley, use this order so you keep your leverage in the negotiation instead of giving it to the seller. ───────────────────── 📚 VIDEO CHAPTERS: 0:00 The Listing That Reset Its Own Days on Market 0:57 Cumulative Days on Market and the Full Price History 1:13 What a Seller Carrying Since February Will Take 1:51 Square Footage: Above Grade vs Finished Basement 2:27 Five Acres on Paper, One Acre You Can Build On 3:00 Pull the Plat Map, Find the Septic Replacement Area 3:34 A Cosmetic Remodel Hiding Original Systems 4:23 Winter Turns Old Windows Into a Monthly Bill 4:40 The Age Mismatch That Gives a Staged House Away 5:12 What $40,000 of Deferred Systems Costs 18 Months In 5:30 The Order to Run These Checks In 6:25 Seller Concessions: The Number Missing From Your Comparable Sale 7:57 Months of Inventory and Who Holds the Leverage 8:31 Why the Citywide Number Describes Nobody's Price Range 9:04 The Two Questions to Ask Before You Write an Offer 9:30 An Overpriced Bozeman Home Never Looks Overpriced ───────────────────── How can you tell if a home in Bozeman is overpriced? A home in Bozeman is usually overpriced in ways the listing itself doesn't show, so the check starts with cumulative days on market and the full price history rather than with the asking price. After that you're confirming what the square footage and the acreage actually include, how old the systems behind a remodel are, and whether the sales you're comparing against carried seller concessions. What is cumulative days on market? Cumulative days on market counts every day a home has been listed across all of its listings, including the stretch before it was pulled and put back up. The number printed on a listing resets to zero on a relist, which is why a house available since February can appear on your screen as brand new. Do seller concessions show up in Bozeman real estate sales? Seller concessions don't show up in the recorded price of a Bozeman comparable sale, so two homes that both sold at $780,000 can represent very different deals. A rate buydown the seller funded, or help with a buyer's costs at closing, lowers what that buyer really paid and leaves the number you're comparing against untouched. What does months of inventory mean for a buyer? Months of inventory measures how long it would take to sell every home currently listed if nothing new came on the market. Under 3 months of supply favors sellers, 4 to 6 months is roughly balanced, and past 6 months the leverage sits with the buyer. Getting the price right on one house sits inside a bigger question, which is whether this move builds financial wealth through equity and timing, and lifestyle wealth in the way you get to live once you're here.
