Spring is just around the corner! Biking is one of the most popular ways of celebrating the warmer weather (although I have seen some bikes out there no matter the temperature or amount of snow…). So great news for all you bikers out there! The already comprehensive trail system throughout the city is looking to get upgraded.  If getting out of Bozeman is your ideal form of escapism on a bike, Hyalite Canyon has trails for both road and mountain biking. Check out the Gallatin Valley Bicycle Club website at www.gallatinvalleybicycleclub.org for additional information.

Bozeman gets to boast one more accolade. As dubbed by National Geographic, Bozeman Montana is one of the top 25 Ski Towns in the WORLD! “Just what makes a classic ski town? It starts, naturally, with skiing and snowboarding so good they attract people like youth-bestowing fountains. Then add an inviting mountain burg steeped in ski heritage, amenities, and culture. These are the 25 best. For insider tips, we asked local luminaries where to stay, play, and party, whether you're on a budget or indulging.” —Aaron Teasdale The article portrays Bozeman as “an old Montana university town of cowboys and ski bums, pickups and unleashed dogs, and two of the premier ski hills in America.” I cannot find much wrong in that interpretation. We are a place where fine dining meets blue jeans attire, a ...

Year-Round Fun! Coming to Gallatin County Fairgrounds is a 35,000 sqft, $4.5 million indoor ice arena to be used all year long. Valley Ice Garden, the only other indoor rink in the area, closed its door in 2006 and ever since volunteers have been raising money to construct the rink. Hockey, figure, and public staking are all on the rise, but when the idea came about, “It wasn’t ‘if you build it, they will come,’ Pertzborn, member of the Bozeman Amateur Hockey Association, said. “They were already here. But everybody adapted and the programs continued to grow. The [current Haynes Pavilion] enclosure worked better than we expected. Now we’re maxed out.” But the lack of a year-round place to practice greatly reduced opportunity. Since 2006, memberships in local clubs have reduced dramatica...

State of Distressed Properties in 2012 Predictions are always hard to make and distressed sales are no different. Factors like home values, employment, and consumer confidence will all be determinants of the rising or falling housing market. That is the only thing that is certain. “Foreclosures aren’t going away right now,” says Andy Firoved, CEO of CounselorDirect, a technology company that specializes in automating processes for various government foreclosure-prevention programs. “We’re going to have a certain level. The question is, how many?”  These are the predictions made by Firoved: #1-Government home ownership assistance programs will get more effective. The goal of helping home owners has hit every road block from job losses to overly bureaucratic processes. In contrast, newer ...

Bozeman Montana Rental Study (Part 2 of 2)  Housing has been recognized as Bozeman’s top priority and more specifically—rentals. City Commissioners suspended an ordinance that requires developers to price a portion of new homes or condos under $200,000 when the economy crashed. Peter Werwath, principal of Werwath Associated who was hired to analyze Bozeman Housing Needs reports “…the city should consider including elements in its pending affordable housing plan that encourage construction of rental units, with a particular emphasis on production of rental units affordable to households between 30 percent of area median income and 50 percent of area median income.” (median income is $66,700 for a family of four)  It will be interesting to see where the housing market here in Bozeman will...

Bozeman Montana Rental Study (Part 1 of 2) Dab Dabney, real estate expert of 30 years, has never seen a town with fewer available options for renters than in Bozeman currently. Of 796 reviewed rentals, 15 were open for renting. The lack of supply and high demand is ratcheting prices up. Dabney predicts that rent will see an increase of 5-8%. “You’re going to have a lot of people looking at increasing home costs and flat incomes,” he said. “They’re going to get squeezed.” What makes Bozeman a story unto itself regarding rentals is the amount of transitory people who call Bozeman home for over half of the time due to Montana State University, one of Montana’s two largest campuses. Bozeman’s need for affordable housing for students and families alike is extremely acute. 49% of renters in B...

Bozeman Montana Real Estate 4th Quarter Market update The following graphs should help you understand where the market in Bozeman is for the 4th quarter of 2011. Market for Single Family Homes in Bozeman, MT   The previous graph indicates that, as usual, the fourth quarter during the holiday season did taper off some, but not nearly what we usually expect.  With interest rates at all-time lows, buyers have continued to purchase throughout the end of the year, albeit with slightly less gusto.  I think these numbers indicate the first quarter of 2012 may be a pleasant upward swing and again reflect Bozemans market stability.  Please note the title, this is only for single family homes on less than one acre in our area and does not include condo's or vacant land.

 Staging for Pet Owning Sellers Part 1 - Cats When you list your house, you hope it will sell quickly, being a pet owner can make the selling process a little more difficult and time consuming.  Here are some suggestions that may help the sellers, the agents and any potential buyers feel more comfortable working with a house that has pets. GET OUT THE VACUUM! Vacuum every day! If you have more than one cat, your cat sheds a lot or has a fur color that will stand out vacuum twice a day or as often as is needed.  A house full of cat hair can be a huge turn off to buyers, even to buyers that are cat owners themselves.  Be meticulous in your vacuuming, make sure you don’t have pet hair that is visible under/on furniture, fixtures or appliances.  Use lint rollers for cloth furniture and othe...

Bozeman’s Warming Shelter for our local homeless opened this November, the day after Thanksgiving. Located in an old office building at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, this winter has seen several improvements to the Shelter. Indoor plumbing, additional bedding, and a small TV mark the minor upgrades that serve the 18-24 people who can accommodate the space. “We’re happy to have a place for people to go, a place to refer individuals and families that have no other options, and that is safe and healthy,” said Stephanie Gray, youth director at the nonprofit Human Resource Development Council. Each winter the Shelter stays open for the “four” months of harsh winter we encounter here in Bozeman, MT. It is not a food service or a luxury by any means. The center’s purpose is only to offer th...

  Happy New Year to all! Winter’s Farmer’s Market: Now entering our fourth season, the Bozeman Winter Farmers' Market grew from the demand for a direct producer-to-consumer experience beyond the traditional summer market season, as well as an abundance of offerings from local farmers and producers reaching well into the winter, and replenishing in the spring. Why the apostrophe in our name? Because this market was created by farmers, and continues to be operated by farmers, for farmers. Our focus is on food and agricultural products.

How long will it take to sell my Bozeman, MT home? In Realtors language, we call it the absorption rate.  We can analyze the sales data from the last 6 months in comparison to the number of homes that are still on the market and make an educated guess as to how long it may take homes in Bozeman Montana to sell.  The chart looks like this:   What does the chart tell us?  If you have a home that has a list price of under $250,000, you stand a very good chance of selling it in under three months since we have sold 158 homes in that price range in the previous six months and currently only have 64 available to sell.  If you have a home that is priced between $351,000 and $400,000, you are looking at approximately three months of marketing time. When we start to look at the luxury home marke...
