GAR's Monthly Update
RELEASE DATE: May 17, 2023
Homes sell quickly in Gallatin County during April
While Gallatin County’s residential real estate market saw less real estate activity in April compared to last year, homes continued to sell quickly, an indication that demand remains strong.
“The fact that homes are flying off the shelves and selling very close to full asking price tells us that demand isn’t letting up,” said Jim Gingery, 2023 GAR Board President. “Spring and summer are usually the more active seasons for real estate transactions, so we expect to see this pattern continue as things warm up.”
