How to read these metrics
Understanding what each number means can help you act with confidence.
Days on market: 34 means momentum
DOM measures how long a home takes to go under contract. Different sites may track from listing date to sale date or to contract date, which can cause variation. Domus Analytics, a tool used with many MLS dashboards, explains these metric definitions. In Harvest Creek, a median DOM near 34 suggests a relatively quick market for properly priced homes. Expect faster activity for move-in-ready listings in the most popular price tiers.
Months of supply: 2.8 favors sellers
Months of supply estimates how long it would take to sell the current inventory at the recent sales pace. Portal research often frames the spectrum like this: under 4 months leans seller, around 4 to 6 is balanced, and over 6 leans buyer. See Realtor.com’s months-of-supply context for a simple overview. At 2.8 months in Harvest Creek, the local read tilts seller friendly. With small neighborhood samples, a sub-3-month level often points to quick movement on well-priced homes.
Prices and price per square foot: use close comps
The median sale price sits around $652,500 and the average price per square foot is about $377, based on the Homes.com neighborhood view. Medians in small areas can swing when one or two higher-end closings hit, so use same-subdivision comparables from the past 90 days for the best match. If you are comparing a larger or recently remodeled home, a price-per-square-foot check against similar-size homes is helpful.
List-to-sale ratio and price changes: watch the MLS
Sale-to-list ratios and the timing of price reductions show how tight pricing is. These are best read from local MLS reports, which track contract dates and reductions in detail. For monthly Bozeman snapshots that draw on Big Sky Country MLS data, review a local broker’s Bozeman market report. If you need the precise ratio and reduction history for Harvest Creek, ask for an MLS-based CMA that includes cumulative days on market and price change notes.
Neighborhood vs. city and county context
Neighborhood stats make the most sense when compared with the larger market around them. Public portals show different numbers depending on feeds and methods, so focus on direction, not exact matching.
- City of Bozeman example: Redfin’s January 2026 snapshot shows a median sale price near $615,000 and a median DOM around 104 days. See the Bozeman housing market page for details.
- Gallatin County example: Redfin reported a January 2026 county median around $694,500, while Realtor.com’s county snapshot for an earlier period showed a different median near $749,900. Review the Gallatin County page on Redfin for their latest figures.
Why the differences? Portals vary in using contract dates versus public-record sale dates, and timing can shift the median. Local MLS tools are considered authoritative for contract-based medians and days on market. For a single definitive set of comps, request an MLS-driven report through a local broker’s market report hub.
Bottom line for context: Harvest Creek’s 2.8 months of supply signals a tighter neighborhood segment than many broader snapshots. That can mean faster movement on well-positioned listings, especially in the mid-tier price bands.
If you are buying in Harvest Creek
A quick-read market does not mean you need to rush, but it does mean preparation pays off.
- Get fully pre-approved, not just pre-qualified. In a sub-3-month supply segment, the strongest offers rise to the top fast.
- Focus your search band. If you are targeting the mid $600s to low $800s, set alerts and be ready to tour new listings the first weekend.
- Use same-subdivision comps. Compare similar square footage and condition, then sanity check the price per square foot against the $377 neighborhood average as a guideline.
- Watch for price reductions. If a home has the right floor plan but is priced high, a timely price cut can open a negotiation window. Sale-to-list ratios and reduction timing are best confirmed in the MLS.
- Plan for offer terms that matter. Clean contingencies and clear timelines often matter as much as price in a quick-moving pocket.
With a small active inventory at any given time, patience helps. The right home often appears in spring and early summer, but well-matched opportunities pop up year-round.
If you are selling in Harvest Creek
The data suggests opportunity, but strategy shapes your results.
- Price to the most recent comps. A tight band around the last 90 days in Harvest Creek is your best guide. Confirm the competitive price with an MLS-based CMA that uses contract dates and tracks recent reductions.
- Lean on presentation. Professional photography and 3D tours help you reach busy out-of-area shoppers who are common in Bozeman. Good presentation often compresses days on market in sub-3-month inventory segments.
- Time your launch with intent. Spring to early summer often delivers higher buyer traffic in Bozeman, while winter brings fewer but serious buyers. Choose based on your goals for speed or convenience.
- Expect negotiation by price tier. Homes aligned to the mid- to upper-mid tiers can move quickly when priced cleanly. Higher price points can take longer and may require more targeted marketing.
A strong plan combines accurate pricing, polished marketing, and responsive communication. In a neighborhood that sees only a handful of listings at a time, your launch week matters.
Seasonality and timing in Bozeman
Bozeman buyer activity often peaks from April through July, helped by better weather, landscaping, and summer travel schedules. There is also a secondary summer window for out-of-area visits. Winter brings fewer showings, but many buyers touring in December through February are focused and lifestyle driven. For a helpful overview of local timing tradeoffs, check this piece on the best time to list a Bozeman home.
If you want maximum eyeballs, spring can be ideal. If you value less competition from other sellers, an early fall or winter launch can work well, especially with strong digital marketing.
Data notes you should know
A few caveats will help you read Harvest Creek’s stats with a trained eye.
- Small-sample volatility. With about 525 residences in the community and only a few active listings at once, short-term medians can swing based on just a couple of sales. Read medians on a 6 to 12 month rolling basis for a steadier view. The Harvest Creek HOA confirms the community size.
- Portal vs. MLS methods. Portals can use public-record sale dates or estimates, while local MLS reports use contract dates. That is why city and county medians may not match across sites. For definitions, see Domus Analytics’ metric guide.
- For definitive pricing, use an MLS CMA. Local broker dashboards that pull from Big Sky Country MLS provide the clearest numbers. Review a broker’s Bozeman market report page and request a CMA when you are within 90 days of making a move.
When to request a personalized CMA
Ask for a custom analysis when any of these apply:
- You plan to list or buy within 90 days.
- Your price tier is well above or below the neighborhood median.
- Your home has unique features, such as a significant remodel or an accessory dwelling unit.
- You need a clear net proceeds estimate or a detailed negotiation plan in a low-supply segment.
A strong CMA should reference same-subdivision comps by contract date, cumulative days on market, price-reduction history, and any HOA considerations.
