What the numbers mean
A city-wide figure does not price your particular house
The measures above describe Great Falls activity over the period shown by each source. A sale-price measure, a modeled home value, days on market, and homes for sale answer different questions; keep each source, place, and period with its figure.
Your comparison depends on the house. Repair needs and condition can change the likely sale path. Tenants, lease terms, and access can affect showings and timing. If you list, add the work and carrying costs involved while you prepare and wait; with a direct as-is offer, compare the written terms with those costs and your timeline.
The Great Falls-wide numbers are context, not a valuation or offer for your address. A property-specific review starts with its condition, occupancy, access, and the timing you are considering.
Local selling costs
Montana has no real estate transfer tax, but the deed still needs paperwork
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 must be filed with the County Clerk and Recorder at the same time the deed is recorded. The certificate helps the Montana Department of Revenue update ownership records and gather sale information for property appraisals.
The certificate asks whether water rights go with the property. If the property has its own water right, the state’s water-right ownership records also need an update; property served by a public water supply skips that step.
- Montana Constitution, Article VIII, Section 17 — no 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 amount you keep. Compare a realistic sale price or written cash offer with your mortgage payoff, repairs, cleanout, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while you wait. The Great Falls calculator lets you change planning assumptions and compare possible net proceeds.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Great Falls market report questions
Do Great Falls market figures tell me what my house is worth?
No. The figures describe market measures for Great Falls, not a price for one address. Condition, repairs, occupancy and access, title details, and timing all affect the comparison for your house.
Does Montana charge a real estate transfer tax when I sell?
No. Montana’s Constitution bars state and local governments from imposing a tax on the sale or transfer of real property. A Realty Transfer Certificate is still filed with the deed when it is recorded; that is required transfer paperwork, not a transfer tax.
What is the Montana Realty Transfer Certificate for?
The certificate gives the Montana Department of Revenue sale information to update ownership records and property appraisals. It also asks whether water rights go with the property. If the property has its own water right, the state’s water-right ownership records need to be updated; a property served by a public water supply skips that step.
What is the difference between a sale price and net proceeds?
Sale price is the top-line amount. Net proceeds are what remains after costs such as mortgage payoff, repairs, cleanout, selling costs, and the time you carry the property. The calculator uses editable planning assumptions, so compare its estimate with the facts for your house.
