Mountain West markets combine outdoor lifestyle appeal with booming tech and remote-work migration. Cities across Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada have experienced some of the nation's fastest appreciation, though rising interest rates have introduced new dynamics to these previously red-hot markets.

The PropertyIQ Score for the Helena, MT market is built from four inputs: Zillow home-value momentum over twelve months, Zillow home-value momentum over three months, the median days listings spend on the market (Realtor.com), and the share of listings with a price cut (Realtor.com). The score runs on a 1 to 99 scale computed across all metro markets nationally and calibrated so 50 equals the state average — a score above 50 means this market is positioned to outperform its state, and a score below 50 means it is set to lag.
