Distressed Properties in Montana
Finding distressed properties in Montana starts with knowing which markets are turning. All 56 Montana counties are graded on foreclosure, lender and insurance pressure — the leading drivers of distressed supply. 3 of Montana's counties sit in contraction or recovery — the part of the cycle where distressed inventory forms first, against a statewide average home-price move of +2.1% year over year.
In Montana, distress can be a foreclosure filing, a tax delinquency, an uninsurable home, or a credit-starved market — rarely just one. DLRadar scores all three lenses deterministically from public records — foreclosure and tax data by county, FDIC bank stress, and FEMA/NFIP insurance distress — so you can triangulate real motivation instead of chasing a single list.
Finding the Montana property is step one; scoring it, funding it and closing it all happen in the same platform.
If you work one part of Montana first, make it Broadwater, Jefferson, Lewis And Clark, where prices have already softened. The full Montana table follows, sorted by where each county sits in the price cycle.
Statewide gauges put Montana at 58/100 for lender stress and 8/100 for insurance distress.
All Montana numbers on this page are auditable, drawn from FHFA/county records, FDIC filings and FEMA/NFIP data — no estimates. No interpolation is applied; an absent signal is left absent.

What makes a property "distressed" in Montana?
Distress in Montana takes several forms: foreclosure filings, delinquent taxes, unaffordable coverage, and lender withdrawal. Because they are scored separately from public records, you can see which properties carry two or three at once.
