It seems we are standing at a precipice, although many say there are mitigating factors that bring the ground closer to the edge of the cliff, softening the fall for our beautiful valley as far as real estate goes. The MLS data actually supports that our market is slowing more gradually than the rest of the MLS. This could also be the mere fact that sleepy little Sanders County takes a bit more time to catch on to what's happening in the world, which is just the way we like it! January maintained the same trend of low inventory, with new...

8 YEARS AGO • JANUARY 27, 1943 THE BIG SNOW This section of Montana from all reports has experienced the heaviest snows in a decade for the past ten days. Old timers recount back to days long ago when the snow around here was three feet deep on the level. But very few of these generation here have seen such heavy snows. However, if the snow keeps falling as it is week after week and accumulating layer on layer, we may yet see three feet of snow on the level around here in the valley. We have seen January months when there wasn’t any snow on...

by Tina Daugherty 2022 was chaos as properties sold faster than we could list them, with multiple offers, bidding wars and a generally unpleasant market for all but the sellers. Appreciation was high, which is a double-edged sword for taxes and other considerations (about 25%). We also seemed to have an ever shrinking inventory! The inventory is still not climbing much as the rates continue to climb. This is likely due to a few factors; the loan rates on many homes financed in the last few years are under 4%, which will be hard to replace with...
