Home Buying FAQs in Great Falls, MT

You don't technically need one to tour homes, but having a pre-approval strengthens your position when you're ready to make an offer. It shows sellers you're serious and helps you understand your budget. We can recommend trusted local lenders if needed.
A good rule of thumb is to keep your monthly housing payment (including taxes and insurance) at or below 28% of your gross monthly income. However, your comfort level, down payment, and other debts all factor in. We recommend talking with a lender early to get a clear picture before you start touring.
Most buyers find a home within a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on inventory and preferences. Once you're under contract, the closing process typically takes 30-45 days, though cash buyers can often close faster.
Closing costs for buyers in Montana typically range from 2% to 5% of the purchase price. This includes lender fees, appraisal, title insurance, escrow fees, and prepaid items like property taxes and homeowners insurance. We'll walk you through a detailed estimate once you're under contract.
Focus on structural issues, roof condition, HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical. In Montana, also pay attention to foundation integrity and weatherization. A good inspector will flag safety issues and major repairs. We'll help you interpret the report and negotiate repairs if needed.
Absolutely. We can set up custom alerts based on your criteria — price range, location, bedrooms, property type, and more. You'll get notified as soon as new listings hit the market, giving you a competitive edge in a fast-moving market.

No pressure. No obligation.
