Home Price History in Montana
FHFA all-transactions House Price Index for the state of Montana — annual data, 1975 through 2025, rebased to 100 in the year 2000.
Montana's FHFA all-transactions House Price Index runs from 1975 through 2025. The state-level HPI, rebased to 100 in 2000, stood at 354.4 at the latest reading. Cumulative nominal appreciation since 2000: +254.4%.
The 2007–2011 housing crisis cut the Montana HPI by 10.4% peak-to-trough — from 170.4 in 2008 to 152.7 in 2011. The U.S. national HPI fell roughly 21% over the same window, so Montana's drawdown was milder than the national average.
The pandemic-era surge brought Montana's HPI from 209.7 in 2019 to 354.4 in 2025 — a +69.0% cumulative gain in 6 years, running above the national pace.
Montana sits in the West census region of the United States. Long-run state-level home-price appreciation reflects regional employment patterns, in-migration flows, and supply constraints. State-level FHFA series can mask significant intra-state divergence — see the linked metro pages below for sub-state breakdowns where available.
Montana's metropolitan areas are not yet individually covered by the Housing Almanac. Metro-level FHFA data does exist for many smaller MSAs in this state — see the full metro index.

Methodology
The FHFA House Price Index is a weighted, repeat-sales index that measures average price changes in repeat sales or refinancings on the same single-family properties. The all-transactions index incorporates both purchase mortgages and refinance appraisals; the index is calibrated to the West census region and rebased to 100 in the year 2000.
