Now that the initial six months of 2019 have slipped into the rearview mirror, it is a good time to check real estate market statistics to see how we are stacking up thus far against the last two years.

As we look at inventory levels for single family housing throughout the Gallatin Valley, the number of available homes in the Bozeman city limits, rural Bozeman and Manhattan/ Three Forks has fallen (ranging from 12% to 29%) while Belgrade has more units for sale (up 9%).  The number of sales decreased in the same areas by 4% to 10% and increased in Belgrade by 12%. However, both average and median sales prices are up in all of those same markets. The average price in the Bozeman city limits ended up at $497,609 with a median of $437,000. The Big Sky…

When viewing homes, what looks to be dated to one person may be cutting edge and making a comeback to another. Just like fashion, trends are a big part of the home industry.

Take wallpaper for instance. The origins began as early as 200 B.C. in China when rice paper was newly invented and glued to walls. In more recent times, it has come in and out of favor as designs and materials have advanced. Today’s products are washable, long lasting, affordable and come in any style you could imagine. Currently enjoying its heyday for people who appreciate bold decorating, The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing recently revealed the top six styles making the rounds right now.

  1. Floral designs which are vivid yet not reminiscent of the 1980s.
  2. Retro designs…

A friend of mine recently posed the question, “Can you imagine spending a single day without the Arts”? Just think about no music on your car radio or streaming from Alexa, bare walls in your home, work and public spaces. And even more disturbing would be the thought of no concerts, live theater, film or dance performances, no sculptures in parks, or even no books to read to your child or self in the evening. My first thought was how awful that would be, but my second thought was one of extreme gratitude for the vibrant arts scene we experience in Bozeman and the surrounding areas. I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite happening in the upcoming months to ensure that you don’t go a day without the Arts.

Bozeman is fortunate to be…

I was fortunate enough to attend a recent gathering in Washington, which brought over 400 people together with the common goal of finding a new way to ensure that the federal government can continue to back 30-year fixed rate conventional home loans.  The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) Housing Finance Reform Policy Forum gave REALTORS® the opportunity to work alongside lawmakers and federal administrators as they strategize how to keep mortgages affordable and reliable for consumers. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have changed greatly since the housing financial crisis in 2005, and the secondary mortgage market needs to change accordingly. To quote directly from the NAR website, the vision includes:

  • Leveraging reforms and innovations…
