Recently I have become interested in spatial effects on house prices (how where you are in town affects your house value). I haven't quite gotten to the spatial elements yet but I was able to run a quick analysis on house prices vs. square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, and acres. Data was taken on 11-1-2009 and includes the vast majority of MLS listings for Bozeman at that time. I made a calculator based on the regression that can be found
here.

**Update 11-6-2009: The predictive algorithm has been much improved. I also added an option for Belgrade homes on the calculator which can be found here.
