What the numbers mean
A citywide figure does not price your particular house
A median sale price summarizes completed sales for the place and period shown. It is a starting point, not a price for your address. Condition, repairs, size, access, tenants or other occupancy, title questions, and the date you need to sell can all change the comparison.
Zillow’s typical home value is a separate modeled measure, not a completed-sale price. Use the source and period beside each number rather than blending the measures into one estimate for a house.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. If a house is rented, the lease, access, occupancy, and timing are still part of comparing the choices.
Local selling costs
Montana has no real-property transfer tax
Montana does not let the state or a local government tax the sale or transfer of real property. That means no state, Yellowstone County, or Billings transfer tax on a Montana home sale.
There is still closing paperwork. When the deed is recorded, a realty transfer certificate is filed with the county clerk and recorder. The Montana Department of Revenue uses it to update ownership records and collect sale information for property appraisals. The certificate asks whether water rights go with the property; a property with its own water right also needs the state’s water-right ownership records updated, while a property served by public water skips that step.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What you may keep
The sale price is not the money left after costs
Net proceeds are what remains after costs. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and bills such as utilities, insurance, and your share of current property taxes while you wait.
Use the calculator to change planning assumptions for your house. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
Questions and reviews
Questions about the Billings market report
Do Billings market figures tell me what my house will sell for?
No. The measures describe Billings, MT for the source periods shown, not one address. Condition, repairs, size, access, tenants or other occupancy, title questions, and your timing can all change the comparison.
Why are Redfin and Zillow figures different?
They measure different things. Redfin’s median sale price summarizes completed sales, while Zillow’s typical home value is a modeled measure and its inventory measure counts homes for sale. Read each with its own source, place, and period.
Does Montana charge a transfer tax when I sell a Billings house?
No. Montana has no state, Yellowstone County, or city tax on the sale or transfer of real property. A realty transfer certificate is still filed with the county clerk and recorder when the deed is recorded; the local selling-cost section below explains the paperwork and water-right question.
What costs should I compare to see what I may keep?
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then compare mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting, including utilities, insurance, and your share of current property taxes. The Billings calculator lets you change planning assumptions.
Do I need to repair or clean out the house before selling to you?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. If the property is rented, its occupancy and timing still matter to your comparison.
How do I ask for a written cash offer?
