Let’s compare Polson single-family residence sales, and those of Kalispell and Columbia Falls, for the last three years. How many homes sold in each city ($200,000 through $799,999 sold price range), by square footage range, for each of those periods each year (see colored columns)? Same-colored lines depict the median sold price per square foot. Since readers also wanted a comparison of listing-to-contract speeds (days to contract, or DTC), I’ve added same-colored dashed lines for those. Kalispell sells the greatest quantity; Columbia Falls leads in price-per-foot, below 3,000 square feet.
