The previous graph indicates that, as usual, the fourth quarter during the holiday season did taper off some, but had an interesting side note in that what we did sell had a higher market value and had been on the market for an extended time period.  This is likely a result of the ski season here in Big Sky country.  We can likely expect … (0 comments)

The following graphs should help you understand where the market in Bozeman is for the 4th quarter of 2011.
Market for Single Family Homes in Bozeman, MT
 
The previous graph indicates that, as usual, the fourth quarter during the holiday season did taper off some, but not nearly what we usually expect.  With interest rates at all-time lows, buyers have continued to purchase throughout the end of the year, albeit with slightly less gusto.  I think these numbers indicate the first quarter of 2012 may be a pleasant upward swing and again reflect Bozemans … (2 comments)

Ultimate Trust - 01/25/12 10:08 AM
 Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to TRUST that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. –Steve Jobs
TRUST.
It is an issue we innately think about every step of everyday. TRUST is the product of the influences in our lives that keep us in line. Successful relationships, successful business, and successful personal happiness are all results of … (1 comments)

Keeping Out the Chill - 01/09/12 09:42 AM
Bozeman’s Warming Shelter for our local homeless opened this November, the day after Thanksgiving. Located in an old office building at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, this winter has seen several improvements to the Shelter. Indoor plumbing, additional bedding, and a small TV mark the minor upgrades that serve the 18-24 people who can accommodate the space.
“We’re happy to have a place for people to go, a place to refer individuals and families that have no other options, and that is safe and healthy,” said Stephanie Gray, youth director at the nonprofit Human Resource Development Council.

Record Low Interest Rates: How Low Will They GO - 01/05/12 09:46 AM
This New Year may just be the one that you purchase your new home! If your resolutions are to buy, refinance, or explore your real estate options, the time is ideal. The Federal Reserve has committed to keep long-term interest rates low through next year.
“Rates are very much at the bottom,” Mr. Nothaft said. But, he added, they may start inching up in the second half of the year. “If you’re planning to refinance, do it sooner rather than later.”
In order to maximize your budget:

Un-Decking The Halls - 01/04/12 09:09 AM
What Happens to All the Trees?

New Years comes with a daunting task… un-decking the halls. Here in Bozeman, we are trying to ease the impact of this process by finding a productive use for all the brittle Christmas trees. Sites have been set up all around Bozeman to collect the trees so that they can be taken to the local landfill and used as “Merry Mulch.” This compost will be spread across the acres of garbage to encourage the reclaiming of the land by native grasses.
The idea was brought in by Martin Bey, district manager of the landfill. “Where I … (4 comments)

January Calendar of Events: Bozeman Montana - 01/03/12 01:14 PM

 
Happy New Year to all!
Winter’s Farmer’s Market:
Now entering our fourth season, the Bozeman Winter Farmers' Market grew from the demand for a direct producer-to-consumer experience beyond the traditional summer market season, as well as an abundance of offerings from local farmers and producers reaching well into the winter, and replenishing in the spring. Why the apostrophe in our name? Because this market was created by farmers, and continues to be operated by farmers, for farmers. Our focus is on food and agricultural products.
