I was fortunate to have the opportunity to list this turn key and lovingly cared home in the Woodland Park Subdivision. 

Beautiful 4 bed, 2.5 bath, 2,500+ SF home located in the Woodland Park subdivision. One of my favorite features about this home was the easy main level living (2,124 SF) that included all the guest bedrooms, 1.5 baths. Additionally the layout yielded a master suite in a separate wing for added privacy. Many homeowners are looking for extra bonus room space which this home had upstairs that could convert to a 5th bedroom (has a door & closet). 

It was a fast listing timeframe and packed weekend helping the sellers prep their home, declutter, work through strategies and tips and tricks for best presentation of their home while

With only 1 day on the market, I sold 310 N 5th Street, Manhattan, Montana. This property was a complete tear down and rebuilt from the ground up in 2017. The property had been left vacant for a number of years uninhabited. Located in close proximity to the Manhattan School, I knew this property would be desirable because of the location but also how turn-key this property is for a new homebuyer. But the market is not always predictable ... 

.... with the holidays (listed the week of Thanksgiving), I knew that there would be less buyers available to even look homes. I wanted to ensure this property had as much traction as possible knowing what the worse case scenario could look like...

At 2,100+ sq ft, this property has a complete main level

 What you don't know about Bozeman ...

Our city is small in nature but what makes our microeconomy tick and how is it fueled? There is no doubt Bozeman specifically is growing like crazy year after year. How does the growth affect our day to day, the real estate market, and the overall trajectory of where we are headed? 

I wanted to share these pretty in depth economic reports that have been recently published by Prospera Business Network and The City of Bozeman. Both of these reports cover topics from demographics, real estate, job market, healthcare, education, agriculture, transportation, and so much more. I hope you take time to go through the wealth of information not only about our city but also on our county and state.

I want to touch on investing in Bozeman. Real Estate inventory for 2019 has continued to be lower than expected and prices have increased as you are probably well aware of. However, this results in more renters staying put where they are as buying their first home could be unachievable or more difficult.  While this is an unfortunate outcome of higher priced homes, let's dive into the how's and why's investing in Bozeman. I've created some questions to structure the conversation. 

5 REASONS WHY INVEST IN BOZEMAN:

1. Investing in the market is like investing in the stock market but can have greater returns in the long haul. 
2. If your cash is sitting in a checking account, it's collecting an insanely low interest rate per year. 
3. There are more
