"Bozeman is the perfect mix of ski town and metropolis; it's more affordable than Jackson Hole, less crowded than Salt Lake City, and more of a real town than Whistler."

Thus begins Powder magazine's glowing review in of Bozeman in its November cover story on the "Top 20 places to live to ski."

Bozeman, which "lays claim to three blue-ribbon trout waters" and three "distinctly different" ski resorts, ranked No. 1 on this year's list, giving credence to something ski bums across the valley have believed all along.

"Obviously there's no argument here," said Doug Wales, marketing director at Bridger Bowl. "We all know why Bozeman is a great town to live in."

Homeownership has come under an enormous amount of scrutiny in the last several years, with some people feeling huge relief to be able to sell their homes before becoming a short sale or foreclosure statistic and returning to the “safety of renting”, while others cannot avoid losing their home. The media tends to focus on the extreme seller’s consequences, yet fails to perceive the immense opportunity for a buyer to acquire a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity”. 

A recent article published by The Wall Street Journal gives us a timely reminder that there’s truly no place like home. At the peak of the housing bubble just a few short years ago, the media was full of cheerleader stories and pointers on how to get rich from your home. Though we are certainly…

Learn More About Real Estate Transfer Taxes and Why They’re a Double Tax on Property

What is a Real Estate Transfer Tax?

A Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) would impose a second tax on property in Montana (including residential homes, family farms & ranches, and businesses) any time it changes ownership (including sales, inheritances, and like-kind exchanges.

Helena, Mont., 4,058 feet above sea level near the Continental Divide, weathered much of the real estate storm.
Its status as the state capital and the Lewis and Clark County seat afforded some shelter.
