bozeman realtor: I Would Have Never Sold It In My Lifetime...
- 02/17/17 12:57 PM
We recently asked the owner of this beautiful home, "Would you share why you love this home?" He didn't even need much time to ponder. His quick response, "That's easy."
"I fell in love with this home, initially, because of the incredible mountain views out the huge windows in the living room. The wrap-around balconies provide huge space for enjoying the amazing sunrises and sunsets. I love the modern features: having all the blinds on a remote and being able to group them for different times of the day, having a central vacuum system, huge laundry room, huge kitchen island, balconies off two main bedrooms, dual HVAC … (3 comments)

bozeman realtor: February 2017 Bozeman Area Real Estate Market Update
- 02/08/17 11:33 AM
The 4th quarter of 2016 incidates what you already know if you've been home shopping in Gallatin County. The number of homes for sale was drastically down, while sales and prices were, generally, up.

bozeman realtor: Montana Down Payment Gift Program
- 01/20/17 01:49 PM
One of the biggest obstacles home buyer's face is coming up with a down payment. Saving money is tough. According to CreditDonkey, nearly half of Americans don't have enough cash in savings to cover an unexpected expense of $500 or less. Just 17% carry the suggested three month emergency fund in savings, and we won't even talk about retirement savings. It's becoming increasingly more difficult to make ends meet and obtain the American Dream.
Enter, Montana & Idaho Community Development Corporation. Their mission is "to provide financing and consulting services that transform the lives of individuals and strengthen community prosperity." Through their Down Payment Assistance, they … (3 comments)

bozeman realtor: "Don't expect the same urban efficiency with regards to mail..."
- 10/28/16 05:33 AM
Recently, the great county of Gallatin has re-circulated a fantastic document entitled 'Code Of The New West'. This document was originally written in 2002, when the population in Bozeman was only about 30,000, the average cost of building a single-family home was a mere $127,000, and the local crime rate was higher than national average. (source) Bozeman was a different town than it is today. Something had just started happening, however. People from across the country (world, really) were starting to take notice of our little slice of paradise and (gasp) MOVING HERE. Some even had the audacity to move to the Gallatin Valley from urban areas where they were accustomed to amenities such as grocery store … (0 comments)

bozeman realtor: Did You Rent Before Buying Your First Home?
- 10/19/16 04:36 AM
For a lot of people, renting an apartment or house before buying their first home serves as a type of practice run. In fact, before 2003, about 80 percent of first-time home buyers rented prior to becoming homeowners. Typically younger, first-time buyers can get a taste of autonomy and responsibility as a renter before taking on the added challenges of home ownership. These days, however, an increasing number of first timers are skipping that step and buying their first house after living with a parent, relative, or friend. That seems unusual, but is probably explained by the fact that it's easier to save for a down payment when living rent free. And – since a … (0 comments)

bozeman realtor: Misconceptions About Down Payments
- 10/06/16 05:54 AM
New research shows many potential home buyers have misconceptions about how much they need to have saved for a down payment. The most often cited amount is 20 percent of the selling price of the home. But, depending on the type of loan, it could be much less and large numbers of eligible buyers don't know that. In fact, according to the National Association of Realtors' quarterly HOME survey, awareness of low-down payment mortgage options was low across all age groups but particularly among Americans over 65 and under 35. In fact, almost 40 percent of young adults believe they'll need more than 20 percent saved before they … (0 comments)

bozeman realtor: Surge in Home Sales to Younger Americans?
- 09/12/16 04:57 AM
Because they are vital to the health of the housing market, first-time home buyers are a closely watched group. In recent years, they have been less active but there is new research indicating that the number of first timers is spiking. So what can new home buyers expect their first time through the home buying process? According to economist Jonathan Smoke, they may face more challenges in this market but can improve their chances by getting their finances in order, raising their credit score above 700, and planning for a down payment. “The market has seen growth despite higher prices in part because of pent-up demand from … (0 comments)

Bozeman is a beautiful place full of culture, arts, recreation, and people who LOVE our great state of Montana. It's location is perfect for anyone who enjoys vast mountain views, hiking, skiing, wildlife, white water rafting, hunting, fishing.... you probably get the point.

Although Bozeman, itself, has a very small population of just over 37,000 the entire Gallatin Valley has just over 95,000 residents spread out over a 2,632 square mile area. This creates a small town feel while offering every amenity one could … (1 comments)

bozeman realtor: Four Things Real Estate Agents Want Sellers To Know
- 07/22/16 05:16 AM
Pricing really is critical. It is a proven statistic that pricing your home too high typically ends up garnering a lower net than pricing slightly under market, driving a bidding war. Listen to your real estate agent when they advise you on pricing. They aren't pulling that figure out of thin air. This is what we frequently hear, "I'll price it a little high and see if I get any bites. If not, we can always drop the price." While this approach seems harmless enough, it can mean the difference between selling your home in 30 days and selling your home in 6 months. The best window to sell … (1 comments)
