I'm confused by the comments regarding gouging or things being overpriced. Prices are set by the market. It is basic supply/demand.
I do agree that if you are a first time home buyer, Bozeman is difficult. This has been the case forever though. When my company moved me here 20 years ago, I could not afford a nice house in Bozeman with views. So I had to settle for a small condo with shitty neighbors. Lived in it for 12 years > sold > Bought a single family home > lived in it for 7 years > sold > then was finally able to buy the house the house that I wanted 20 years ago.
Bozeman is not unique in this regard. Any place desirable in the US is $$$.
As others have mentioned though, if Bozeman is too expensive, there are a lot of other great options. I certainly understand not everyone needs a symphonic choir![]()
