November 2025 Market Update — Sidney, Montana
What Sellers Need to Know Before Heading Into Year-End
November in Sidney didn’t just cool down the weather—it tightened the market in a way that should make any potential seller sit up and pay attention.
Here’s the snapshot:
8 homes sold
Total sales volume: just over $2.6 million
Average sales price: $320,000
Active listings: 22
Pending listings: 18
If you’re watching closely, you’ll notice something important:
Our average sales price ticked up again—now sitting at $320,000, compared to October’s $304,000.
And before anyone shrugs at that increase, remember this:
This is exactly in line with the broader 2025 trend.
Q1 Average: $280,000
Q2 Average: $324,000
Q3 Average: $304,000
Nov Avg: $320,000
In plain English?
We’re holding steady, and buyers are still willing to pay strong, market-supported prices when homes are priced correctly and brought to market with intention.
What’s Driving the Market Right Now?
1. A Surge of Pending Activity in Q3
We’re carrying 18 pending listings into December—higher than our typical late-fall inventory.
That’s the ripple effect of a busy Q3 finally hitting closing tables.
Translation:
We’re about to see a strong December sales month.
2. Inventory Is Quietly Tightening
With 22 active listings, the market isn’t saturated. Buyers still have options, but not enough to get picky or wait around.
When inventory stays moderate and pendings stay high, values stay strong.
This is the kind of market where thoughtful pricing and strong presentation matter.
3. Winter Buyers Are Serious Buyers
Winter shoppers in Eastern Montana aren’t “browsers”—they’re purpose-driven.
Relocations.
Job changes.
Life transitions.
They’re not waiting for April.
If your home is listed, they’re looking.
What This Means for You if You’re Thinking of Selling
Here’s the truth most sellers don’t hear enough:
Winter is not a “dead zone” in Sidney. It’s a filter.
The unserious sellers disappear.
The unserious buyers disappear.
What’s left?
Motivated movement.
Your home gets seen by the buyers who actually intend to buy—not the ones who just like touring on a Saturday.
Our November numbers make one thing clear:
This market will reward any seller who prices strategically and enters the market intentionally.
