By months of inventory, Montgomery is a buyer's market right now: 6.4 months of supply, with 1,477 homes for sale against 1,452 sales in the last six months. Inventory is building, giving buyers more room to negotiate on price and terms. Conditions differ by price band and area, so use this as context, not a rule.
Where the numbers put the market
Months of inventory divides the homes now for sale by the recent monthly pace of sales. In Montgomery that gives 6.4 months, which we label a buyer's market.

What a market label does and does not tell you
A market label is a summary. A buyer's market can still contain a busy price band and a slow one, and a good home priced well can sell quickly in any market. Right now 56% of active homes have had a price cut, which shows how much room sellers have used. A Montgomery average is a starting point, not a verdict on any one property, and the right move depends on your timeline, finances and the home itself.
