Greetings!  

Spring is coming upon us here in the Flathead Valley. We have enjoyed the snow and sunny days over the past few weeks. Milder temperatures and longer days are bringing the bears out of hibernation and the property purchasers searching for their next den.

Flathead Valley homes and property sales are up approximately 10% in the number of transactions and gross dollar amount of sales for the first two months of 2011 as compared with 2010. The Flathead Valley's listing base remains high with a 27 month supply of unsold inventory. This number may fluctuate in the next few months due to traditional spring/summer new listings entering the market.

It is never too early to consult with a local real estate professional about the current market conditions. This enables you to make an informed decision on when you should buy or sell property.

You know what our little ski resort is missing? Some really nice slope side luxury hotel flats and a huge deck with views up the mountain and down the valley where a person can enjoy a meal & a beer. Not too tall & not too gaudy, our vision is a rustic Montana lodge with just under 40 hotel-style suites, a new restaurant & bar with plenty of heated outdoor seating with great views, a new ski shop, ski concierge services, owner's storage, workout facility & much more. Ski-in/ski-out location from the village with access to multiple lifts. Read More>>>

Five Signs That Say 'Buy'


Jobs.
Some parts of the country were less affected by the recession than others. Prospective buyers should review job-growth data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, at www.bls.gov. Unlike many backward-looking economic statistics, jobs data are only about a month old and can "clearly show the direction of the local economy," says Carolyn Beggs, chief operating officer of real-estate data provider Local Market Monitor Inc. The National Association of Home Builders also posts state and local employment data, at NAHB.com.

You also want to see a brightening personal-income picture for the previous six-month period. Those numbers are available via the U.S. Dept. of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis, at www.bea.gov.

Recent sales activity. Three factors should be taken together: housing inventory, sales volume and prices. Read More>>>

Insights: Home Staging
Depersonalizing as a Sales Tool 

 

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but when you're selling your home, that picture may cost you time and money.


Family photos, along with personal collections and even works of art, make a house a home, but they don't necessarily make it more saleable, say real estate experts. Home staging - the art of neutralizing and depersonalizing to allow a prospective buyer to mentally move in - does that. Read More>>>
