As recently reported in the Chronicle, the Wally Byam Caravan Club International (best known and easily identified as "the aluminum airstream campers") are in to town for their annual rally. Bozeman is fortunate enough to be the only destination to host this international rally on five different occasions. The club is estimated to bring 2,000 people and $3 to $5 million to our area in a one week period. Club members, with the average age of 60 years old, are very active and love the cool weather, the beautiful setting, and the abundance of outdoor activities found in Bozeman. This event brings up an interesting concept of luxury RVs as a second home. While many people purchase second or multiple homes in areas they chose to vacation and spend time in, there are a growing number of peopl...

In real estate, as in most areas of life, it's generally a good idea to try to see the silver lining without allowing blind optimism to cloud the real picture. But in this industry particularly, it is certainly refreshing to read anything from the media that portrays the positive side of the market conditions. As I have always held the opinion that real estate is a local, not national, market, recently there has been an increase in agreement with this fact from prominent financial writers. Amy Hoak of Marketwatch stated that "Home prices aren't tanking everywhere", and that only five states - California , Arizona , Nevada , Florida , and Michigan - are currently experiencing a true housing recession. John Wasik with the Bloomberg News added further commentary that some of the housing ma...

ERA Landmark Real Estate is continuing its dedication in giving back to the community through a charitable organization. The ERA/MDA annual golf tournament will be held on September 5, 2008 with the proceeds benefiting the Montana Chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Last years' event was a smashing success, with over $12,000.00 in net profit to benefit over 500 Montanans fighting neuromuscular disease. This year we are looking to surpass that total by encouraging more team participation adding to the excitement of the day.  The MDA and ERA are asking for your business's support in aiding our worthy cause by way of a donation or participation in the actual event. The funds that will be raised at this event will provide much needed services to our families throughout the state ...

Bozeman, Montana Dream Town #1 in 2006 - Best Quality of Life Helena, Montana Ranked #5 America may be a metropolitan nation, but most of us don't seem very happy about it. A total of 252 million people -- 83.5 percent of all Americans -- live in metropolitan areas. That includes 164 million in the 51 biggest metros, the ones with populations above 1 million. Yet a substantial number of these residents of big cities and inner-ring suburbs don't have their hearts in it. They would prefer to live on the suburban fringe or in small-town America, as repeatedly shown by surveys during the past decade. Here are the top five small towns: 1. Torrington, Conn. 2.

Doing The Ridge?Bozeman, Montana's "Bridger Ridge Run" takes place along a good portion of the distinctive and prominent scree-strewn ridge line of Bozeman's Bridger Mountain Range and is billed as possibly the most rugged, technical 20 mile trail race in existence.For the hard-core trail runner or city marathoner-cum-weekend trail runner, "The Ridge," as locals call it, is a breath-takingly beautiful ankle-twisting, knee-wrenching challenging traverse across a mix of of limestone, sandstone, volcanics, shale, and conglomerates.The brutal, almost 20 miles long (19.65 miles "direct way" or 20.55 miles “easy” way) race begun by Ed Anacker in 1985, offers 6800' of ascent and 9500' of descent, all the while forcing you to scramble over knife edge talus and shale, baby-headed sandstone bould...

The state of Montana is known as Big Sky Country, the Treasure State and "The Last Best Place" To many, it's also the last vestige of America's wild frontier. The distinctive qualities of this state are not limited to its physical landscape, however. Stuart and Sally are well aware that Montana real estate laws are, many times, unique to Montana. Just because one of our clients from Georgia or Texas happens to be a real estate maven in their own state, they may not be prepared for the particular and sometimes complicated nuances of Montana Real Estate law. This is why we always recommend that our clients obtain local legal counsel to insure there are no unexpected surprises in any real estate transaction. Gallatin County and the Bozeman are undergoing dramatic growth. This new expansion...

When buying or selling a luxury Montana property, serious consideration should be given to whether you qualify for a 1031 Exchange, which is covered in Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Simply put, a 1031 Exchange allows the owner of an investment property to sell that property and buy another "like-kind" property, thus deferring the payment of state and federal capital gains taxes. Taxes are only paid when a final property transaction occurs and the seller cashes out, which allows you, the investor, to build on your initial investment and increase its value without paying the taxes during on-going transactions. A number of properties qualify as long as they are investment properties and not your primary residence. The IRS Section 1031 states: "No gain or loss shall be recogniz...

Chocolate Truffles + Rare Wines in Elk Country   By Kristin Donnelly from Food & Wine Magazine - Published July 2008  On a recent trip to Bozeman, Montana, I was eager to try elk—but that turned out to be trickier than it sounds. Many Montanans hunt game and eat it at home, but restaurants are allowed to serve only farm-raised meat. All the same, I had deliciously rare pan-roasted farmed-elk tenderloin at the wine bar Plonk, along with a Midnight Manhattan, a killer cocktail made with fresh cherry–infused bourbon. I got to taste some local beer too, when I dropped in for a late-night snack at the year-old Over the Tapas. I drank amber ale from the Bozeman Brewing Company with a juicy flank-steak sandwich, which chef Jeff Merlau tops with Manchego cheese and a garlicky chimichurri sauce...

Bozeman, Montana | Too dynamic for a still life Written By Stephanie Simon Los Angeles Times My travels have taken me to many striking U.S. landscapes: the tangled marshes of South Carolina's barrier islands, the red-rock canyons of southwest Utah, a bare expanse of Nevada desert framed by a purple sunset. But nowhere have I had such a strong impulse to capture the scenery - to take it home with me - as I did on a recent trip to southern Montana. As I drove to Bozeman, the sky opened up and seemed to unfold until the pale blue stretched forever. Farmland rolled out along the interstate, dotted at tidy intervals with round bales of hay. Knife-edged mountains to the north glowed under a fresh drape of snow; to the south, gentler hills rose and fell in shades of brown. A thick cloud would ...
