real estate: Mineral County Median Home Prices Remain Strong Through 2007 - 01/16/08 01:45 PM
There has been a lot of negative national press about the real estate market recently. Reports of increased foreclosures and falling home prices seem to headline every news segment. What these national stories don't report is that many markets remain steady or are even growing slightly. So is the case with Mineral County and much of Western Montana.
During 2007, median home prices in the county increased significantly. The area of Alberton saw the median home sales price rise to $168,500, a 9.2% increase from 2006. The area from Fish Creek through Superior saw a median home price of $148,000, a … (0 comments)

real estate: The Real Estate Market & The Local Reality in Response to Jim Cramer's BS on The Today Show! - 09/28/07 09:00 PM
Earlier this week, Jim Cramer was on The Today Show bashing real estate and made irresponsible statements to consumers telling them not to purchase a house right now. Jim Cramer is NOT an expert in the field of real estate, and he is sorely misinformed and did not take into consideration local markets. Two-thirds of metropolitan areas across the country are showing price gains and the national median home price in August showed a modest increase.
While some states are seeing increases in foreclosures - many states are seeing a decrease in foreclosures - Utah, Idaho, Oregon, New Mexico, Washington, West Virginia, South … (20 comments)

real estate: Missoula Montana Real Estate Market Remains Strong - The Local Reality - 09/28/07 02:28 PM
There has been a lot of negative press about the real estate market recently. To understand the whole story, you should also consider local markets.
In Missoula, Montana for instance, the market remains solid. We have a strong economy and Missoula is a desirable place to live. We also have growth/development restraints due to our location and the geography of our mountain ranges and government land ownership. Demand continues to increase for land.
Missoula did not see the same extent of short-term investment activity as other areas. Those "short-term" investors have been hit the hardest nationally.
While some states are seeing an increase in foreclosures, Montana's … (1 comments)

I get asked all of the time, how is the market doing in Missoula with all of the issues with lenders? My experience in the market tells me that the market is still strong in Missoula, people are still buying and selling. September has been one of our busiest months in our history in the field. Here's the formal update from the Missoula Organization of Realtors as of 9/15/07:
 The national media continues to focus on the high foreclosure rates in some real estate markets across the country and the efforts to provide alternatives to distressed borrowers. To put the issue into perspective, … (0 comments)
