Catalyst Commercial Real Estate

Market intelligence

The Great Falls commercial market, in numbers.

CoStar doesn't cover this market and the national brokerages don't have an office here. So the data comes from us — from the leases we negotiate and the valuations we run.

What we track

Four things that tell you where this market is.

Rents

Asking and effective lease rates

By submarket and property type, separated into gross and net, with the concessions that don't show up in an asking rate.

Sales

Comparable sales and cap rates

What actually closed, at what price per square foot, and what that implies about where cap rates sit in a market with thin trade volume.

Occupancy

Vacancy and absorption

How much space is empty, how quickly it's filling, and which corridors are tightening while others soften.

Pipeline

Construction and conversions

What's being built, what's being repurposed, and what that adds to supply over the next several quarters.

Reports

Published quarterly.

Method

Where the numbers come from.

Closed transactions we brokered or verified, MLS data, county assessor records, and direct conversations with owners and other brokers in town. Where a figure rests on a small sample — which in a market this size it often does — we say so rather than presenting it as precision.
