Livingston, MT Home Prices at a Glance

As of 2026, Livingston’s active listings put the median home price in Livingston, MT at roughly $480,000 across all residential property types, with homes typically spending around 110–115 days on market before selling — a slower, less competitive pace than Bozeman’s tighter inventory. Market statistics and data referenced in this article are sourced from realtor.com. Figures are subject to change and should be independently verified for time-sensitive decisions.

That $480,000 figure blends condos, townhomes, and single-family homes together, so the number that matters most depends heavily on what type of property you’re shopping for — covered in the price-by-type breakdown below.

What’s Driving the Median Home Price in Livingston, MT Higher

Livingston’s home prices have climbed steadily over the past several years for reasons that go beyond simple supply and demand:

• Yellowstone River and fly-fishing access. Livingston sits directly on the Yellowstone, one of Montana’s Blue Ribbon trout fisheries, and buyers pay a premium for proximity to the water and to renowned spring creeks nearby.
• Proximity to Paradise Valley and Yellowstone National Park. Livingston functions as the gateway to Paradise Valley, with Yellowstone National Park roughly 50 miles south — a draw for second-home buyers and remote workers alike.
• Historic character and a walkable downtown. Livingston’s late-1800s railroad-town core, film history (A River Runs Through It, The Horse Whisperer), and active arts scene keep demand steady even as national migration trends shift.
• Overflow demand from Bozeman. As Bozeman’s median prices have climbed well past $650,000, buyers priced out of the Gallatin Valley core increasingly look toward Livingston for relative affordability within a short commute.

Livingston Home Prices by Property Type

• Single-family homes: Median list prices generally run from the high-$400,000s to low-$500,000s, with wide variation by lot size, view, and proximity to downtown or the river.

• Land and acreage: Rural parcels toward Paradise Valley or along the Shields River corridor vary enormously, from under $100,000 for smaller in-town lots to well over $1,000,000 for larger acreage with river or mountain views.
