You Have Two Weeks to Make the Change

BAR wanted to remind you that Cotality, the company that provides our Matrix MLS platform, has announced plans to sunset the Classic dashboard. As of August 31, Classic Mode will no longer be available.

To prepare for the transition, it is highly recommended Matrix users who are not using the new dashboard begin making the switch over as soon as possible. Start to familiarize yourself with the new layout to prepare for the time when you won't be able to revert back to Classic.

It's simple to make the change. Just go the dropdown menu under your name in the upper right-hand corner of Matrix and switch the toggle off. You will be able to toggle back and forth up until August 31.

Are Montana home buyers and sellers better—or worse—off than the national market?

The answer: it’s a mixed bag! Across the 29 Montana counties BAR serves, buyers may find more choices and negotiating room than national headlines suggest. At the same time, higher prices and mortgage rates continue to challenge affordability, while sellers need to price strategically as homes take longer to move.

The big takeaway? Real estate is local—and Montana’s market doesn’t always follow the national trend.
