Great time to be a buyer! Seller's are becoming conditioned to the fact that there are a lot of choices for buyers in the current market so prices are being adjusted. I don't see prices decreasing dramatically as homes are still moving so it is time to stop waiting and buy. Out of state buyers are still coming in and our area is growing so the market will not stay this way for too much longer is my guess. Should start turning the first of the year.

This is a question I am legally and ethically required to ask a potential buyer when I am called on a listing or emailed to set up a search on MLS. Sometimes buyers are a little taken aback by the question. Maybe they don't understand what it means or they feel like I am interfering in their busi...

Schools are under way in the Flathead Valley. Traffic is slowly returning to our less congested "normal" as tourism subsides for the summer. Things are dry, dry, dry, outside. The valley has been fortunate to not get involved in any fires so far this year. We had a couple of days with smoke in th...

I am noticing a ramp up in commercial construction in the valley lately. Kalispell Regional Hospital is finishing up a new surgical wing for one example. Another is the purchase of an old brick warehouse building across from the old train depot in Kalispell. There has been a major gutting of this...

In my search for a horse that anyone can ride, I came across Montana Awareness Education and Equine Rehab Association. I saw an ad in Craigslist for a horse that sounded perfect for my family. This lead to being educated about MAERA. MAERA looks for good horses that have been purchased to be slau...

What can I say? I look forward to this every year. It is huge. We were missing some riders due to the Olympics taking place very soon but it was still incredible. A newly designed cross country course was challenging for the riders and horses alike. Flathead Valley weather was HOT for the first 3...

​The yearly average visitor numbers in Glacier National Park are around 2 million. I think they all decided to make this the week they visited our valley! Now, keep in mind we really don't deal with traffic in this valley except for in the summer, but there were unbelievable backups going through...

Friday: trip up to Glacier National Park, walked on the South Boundary Trail and watched the rafters come down the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. Would have been a longer hike if we had thought of bug spray. Renewed our annual park pass and wandered around Lake McDonald and Apgar. Came out of...

Earth, Wind and Fire: While Colorado battles to save homes from the insane numbers of fires in their state, parts of eastern Montana are also struggling to control fires.
