What the numbers mean
A city-wide figure does not price your particular house
Read every market measure with its source, geography, and period. A Bozeman-wide figure is context, not a price for your address.
Condition and repairs can change what a buyer may pay and what you spend before a sale. Tenants, lease terms, and access can affect showings and timing. Compare those facts with the bills you would carry while listing or waiting.
The right comparison starts with the house: its repair needs, who lives there, what access is available, and when you want to sell.
Local selling costs
Montana has no real-estate transfer tax, but a filing is still required
Bozeman is Gallatin County's county seat. Montana's Constitution bars state and local governments from imposing a tax on the sale or transfer of real property, so there is no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a Montana home sale.
A Realty Transfer Certificate still must be filed with the county clerk and recorder when the deed is recorded. The certificate helps the Montana Department of Revenue update ownership records and gather sale information for property appraisals. It also asks whether water rights go with the property. If a property has its own water right, the state's water-right ownership records also need an update; a property served by a public water supply skips that separate step.

- Montana Constitution, Article VIII, Section 17 — tax on real-property transfers
- Montana Department of Revenue — Realty Transfer Certificates
- Montana Code — updating water-right ownership records
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
What you may keep
Compare the sale price with what is left after costs
The sale price is the top-line amount, not the money left after costs. Compare a realistic sale price or written cash offer with your mortgage payoff, repairs, cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions so you can compare possible net proceeds.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Questions sellers ask
Do Bozeman market figures tell me what my house is worth?
No. A figure describes the area and period shown beside it; it is not a price for your particular house. Condition, repairs, tenant occupancy and access, and the timing you need can change the comparison.
Does Montana charge a real estate transfer tax when I sell?
No. Montana bars state and local governments from imposing a tax on the sale or transfer of real property. A Realty Transfer Certificate still has to be filed with the county clerk and recorder when the deed is recorded.
What does a Realty Transfer Certificate do?
It gives the Montana Department of Revenue information to update ownership records and property appraisals, and asks whether water rights go with the property. If a property has its own water right, the state water-right ownership records also need an update; a property served by a public water supply skips that separate step.
What is the difference between sale price and net proceeds?
Sale price is the top-line amount. Net proceeds are what may remain after costs such as mortgage payoff, repairs, cleanout, selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. The calculator uses editable planning estimates, not a property-specific offer.
