About Yellowstone County
Yellowstone County is located in south-central Montana along the Yellowstone River, anchored by Billings, Montana's largest city, with Billings serving as the county seat.

Our off-market leads from public notices and records connect you with motivated sellers across the county as each notice is published, while the owner is still deciding what to do.

What makes the Yellowstone County market different
- Housing in Yellowstone County is tight: only 6% of units are vacant, against 10% nationally. Low vacancy usually means a renovated house finds a buyer or a tenant quickly.
- Homes in Yellowstone County are newer than the national mix: 8% were built before 1940, against 12% for the U.S. Newer houses usually need less work before a resale or a rental.
- HUD sets the fair market rent for a 3-bedroom home for the Billings, MT area at $1,983 a month, against a median home value of $318K in Yellowstone County. Set those two side by side to judge whether a buy-and-hold rental pencils out before you make an offer.
- Permits were issued for 997 new housing units in Yellowstone County in 2025, down 32% from 2024. With less new supply coming, existing homes carry more of the market.
