A report from Montana Public Radio. "Today we’re taking a look at housing prices in Montana. There appears to be some downward pressure on prices for existing homes. 'Well, so things are starting to change,' says Brint Wahlberg, of the Missoula Organization of Realtors. Wahlberg says housing inventory in parts of Montana is generally rising, homes are sitting on the market longer and sellers are suddenly more willing to negotiate."

"'We’re seeing it quite significantly in kind of that $350,000 to $500,000 price range in Missoula. Those price points have had to price drop quite a bit compared to what they’re used to. Cause we’ve been riding a pretty easy wave since 2013,' he said."

"'We’re starting to see more and more people though that are talking about - they should just cool it and see what the spring looks like and take it from there,' Brint says. 'It’s interesting, cause we’re returning to what we’d seen maybe 12 to 15 years ago with people wanting to take a little bit more of a measured approach to the market.'"

"Wahlberg believes prospective homebuyers are weighing all their options, keeping close tabs on interest rates while also watching how international tariff skirmishes play themselves out. 'It doesn’t feel like to me like a bubble is building again. The good thing is it would seem like the backbone of the housing market is much, much stronger than it was in 2007, 2008. But this next stretch here you’re going to probably see continued slowdown in volume,' he said."
