Flathead Valley Real Estate Update December 2, 2012

Real Estate Agent with Blue Sky Realty, LLC 10814

Is it REALLY December already? Can hardly believe that November just sped past me.

Raining in the valley today and snowing in the mountains. I can see snow in the foot hills fairly close to the valley floor. Big Mountain is getting dumped on at the summit but need more snow in the village. Opening day: Dec. 8. I am ready with pass in hand! http://skiwhitefish.com/webcams.php for the live view. My poor horses are wading through mud. Reminds me of the years I lived in the Seattle area. I much prefer the ground to be frozen and covered with white.

Was a busy week in my house last week. Seattle son/daughter-in-law/10 mo grandson flew over for Thanksgiving and my husband's birthday, it was a big one, not saying which decade he entered. So, had 2 grandsons under a year crawling, climbing and getting into all the drawers. What a blessing these little boys are. So different in personalities and only 5 weeks apart. Exhausting, but great. We all tried out Brannigan's Pub in Kalispell Sunday night. Very Irish in a quaint brick building. Great atmosphere. Most of us have spent time in Ireland and agree it is very authentic. Hard to get a table, very popular already after only a month of business.

Found out that http://www.naturalgrocers.com/ is the grocery store taking over the old Borders retail space at Hutton Ranch. Was hoping for a Good Foods Store that is in Missoula, but Natural Grocers will be great to have at the north end of Kalispell.

Glacier Symphony will be performing Handel's Messiah next weekend at 3 valley locations; Kalispell, Whitefish, Bigfork. We plan on attending.

Spent our anniversary at the Lodge at Whitefish Lake this week. Nice dinner, incredible atmosphere. We own a condo in the Lodge so spent the night. View of Whitefish Lake, fireplace, big soaking tub, peace and quiet after a busy week with family. Give the lodge a try, it is a superior lodging facility right on the lake.

Showed homes to 2 different buyers last weekend. Both listings ended up in multiple offer situations. One of my buyers in the backup offer on a great listing. Keeping our fingers crossed that they get it.
