New construction starts around $450,000 and climbs from there, putting it out of reach ...
Missoula’s real estate market has more inventory than it has had in five years, yet correctly priced homes are still selling within a week, sometimes with multiple offers. The gap between those outcomes and the listings that sit for months comes down to a single variable that has nothing to do with interest rates, staging, ...
The story of people leaving big cities for Montana took hold during the early 2020s and became familiar shorthand for a certain kind of relocation.

More than six years after the pandemic reshuffled housing demand, sellers there still hold the advantage, because the county’s market runs on its own timeline rather than the nation’s. “We are still in a seller’s market and we ...
For years, luxury buyers in the hills around Los Angeles prioritized views, acreage, and privacy. Insurance was a line item, not a deciding factor. That era appears to be ending.
