home prices

The dream of owning a brand-new home in Montana is becoming harder to reach. New data places the Treasure State as the fifth most expensive in the nation.

You probably do since it wasn't that long ago. Bozeman area home prices "back in the good old days" still enjoyed a slow and steady value increase. But it's nothing like the meteoric rise we've seen in the last few years.

If this property history is correct, we've found the perfect example of Bozeman/Big Sky home flipping.

Apparently there IS a limit to how much someone is willing to pay for a house in Bozeman. Price REDUCTIONS are popping up more often for the expensive stuff. Really nice, big houses.

Montanans were VERY busy this Summer and Fall with home improvement projects. Ask any contractor or hardware store employee. We always has some project in the works for the last 18 months, to be honest.

Sure, you'll only find 'reasonably priced' homes in much smaller towns than Missoula, Bozeman or Billings but THEY DO EXIST in Montana. You just need to know where to look...and be a bit flexible with your home location. Joplin, anyone?
