Missoula Market Indicator
May 15, 2007
*For the greater Missoula urban area, including Lolo (All Types of single family residential properties).  Arrows indicate direction in last 30 days.

  New Listings
  Total properties entered into the MOR Regional Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in the last 30 days. 
 
  Median Price
  The price that is midway between the least expensive and most expensive home sold.  
   
  Under Contract
  Properties on which the buyer & seller have agreed to transfer property 
  

  Number of Sales
  Properties for which the transfer is recorded  

 

  Interest Rates
  Average local financial rates based on 30 year fixed mortgage

 

  Days on Market
  Average number of days a home is on the market from date of listing to date sold 

 

  Housing Affordablity Index
  Calculated by using local interest rates, local median price, local median family income and loan terms 

 


The trends between the end of 2006 and the very beginning of 2007 indicate a stable real estate market.in the Missoula urban area.  Interest rates are remaining steady.  Homes are on the market for about the same amount of time.  A slight decrease in the Median Price and an increase in the number of properties reported Under Contract seem to suggest that consumers are still looking to real estate as a solid, long-term investment.
