small acreage: I think gas prices have put the brakes on small acreage home sales!
- 05/05/11 02:57 PM
I just did a bit of research of our market area, in and around Billings Montana, only to discover that we have only sold 25 properties in the last 90 days between 2 and 20 acres. I know we're just getting use to having the snow gone, and the grass is getting greener, so what's up? Gas prices are up. Of the 209 current unsold homes on small acres (2-20) only 20 are under contract right now, today! That's a very low Activity Index of 9.5%. I enjoy country properties the most, so this presents a bit of a challenge for … (7 comments)

The Bull Mountains are located about 30 miles North of Billings Montana in Musselshell County. The dream of living the country lifestyle at an affordable price happens here in this part of Montana. An established home on more than 5 acres starts at about $175,000 and up.

New discovery in the war against gophers at the Thomas acres. Paint the PVC pipe brown and rub some dirt in it! Please refer to Montana Gopher Wars: Part 1 for the introduction to this militant activity. All of the cable tv my 21 year old son has watched over the years must have paid off! He's been a fan of Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel for years. He has a look at our great plan for getting gophers to take the bait out of our PVC pipe contraptions and makes a note "Mom, a gopher doesn't want to go … (3 comments)

small acreage: Beautiful Home But The Stairs Are Like Climbing A Ladder!
- 03/16/09 11:19 AM
Really nice home, but the builder made a big mistake by not planning for reasonable risers and treads for the stairs to all of the bedrooms! One of the showings I had this past week included a wonderful home in an upscale rural subdivision in a beautiful river valley south of Billings Montana. The 17 acres are just perfect, the road is paved all the way to the garage! The home is less than 10 years old. We headed up to the bedrooms on the upper level and felt like we were climbing a ladder! The treads were way too … (6 comments)
This is where I write updates and information about Montana Living. Sometimes you'll see Real Estate stuff (my business) and sometimes you'll see Montana Local Events, Montanaisms and what I see and do when I travel around our state.
You will definitely see stuff about huckleberry picking, a family tradition, and quilting, my personal passion.
