As residential inventory within the Bozeman city limits continues to stabilize, sales in the month of March doubled the number of sales from January and February 2010 combined. The number of sales for the month of March was also up from the same period last year. Since January 1-March 31, 2010 forty-two individual homes changed hands. We look forward to the continued increase in residential sales as spring changes to summer.

She had been the warm and spirited face of the brand for eight years before tragically succumbing to cancer.

“Out of adversity, comes opportunity,” was how Alex Perriello, president and chief executive officer of Realogy Franchise Group, described these…

I have always been a strong advocate that real estate is and always will be, a viable long-term investment.  The days of pure speculation in the market for short-term gain appear to be gone with good reason.  Real estate has attributes that cannot be replicated in other investments, such as providing comfort and shelter, pride of ownership, a place for families to gather, and a legacy to hand down to future generations.  

The physical amenities that have made Bozeman and the surrounding area such a remarkable place to live are undeniable.  However, the good news is that current market conditions now offer outstanding opportunities to consider making the purchase of a lifetime.  Interest rates remain attractively low, and area prices have receded in some…

This month, I would like to take the time to highlight a very positive vision that has come about in hopes to enhance and rejuvenate the community’s remarkable urban core.

The Downtown Improvement Plan, which was developed over the course of the past year by city leaders along with a team of national consultants, was recently adopted by the Bozeman City Commission as part of the Bozeman Community Plan. It encompasses a broad scope of ideas to…
