Glacier Sotheby's International Realty Newsletter May 2011

Greetings! 

 

Perhaps one of the most surprising features of Montana's Flathead Valley is its abundance of public and private golf opportunities.  Named one of the top 50 destinations by Golf Digest, the area affords public golf at nine championship courses within a forty-five minute drive.  Long summer days with tee times from 7am to 7pm at most venues results in many affordable and available tee opportunities.  This availability at very reasonable prices has created a market here for properties that appeal to golfers while not being directly on the golf course.  Most area courses offer seasonal memberships that are a great bargain for families and high use individuals.  Visit Northwest Montana Golf Destination www.golfmontana.net for more information about public golf courses in the area.

The area's only exclusively private golf course is Iron Horse Golf Club, regularly named among the best private courses in the west.  This Tom Fazio designed course is currently rated the #2 private golf club in the state, and the Iron Horse Community has been highly ranked nationally by Golf Digest.  Visit www.ironhorsemt.com for information about Iron Horse Golf Club. 

Not far away is the highly acclaimed Rock Creek Cattle Company, which offers a world class Tom Doak designed golf course and countless outdoor amenities, all located within a 34,000 acre historic working cattle ranch. Rock Creek was recently voted the best new golf course in the U.S., the 2nd best modern golf course in the U.S., and the second best private residential community in the U.S. Represented exclusively by Glacier Sotheby's, you can learn more about Rock Creek by visiting www.rockcreekcattlecompany.com.

Our May eNewsletter, "Montana Golf Communities", is dedicated to our listings that enjoy the lifestyle and amenities of living within these premier Golf Communities. To see an entire list of our Montana Golf Properties click here.

Glacier Sotheby's International Realty is proud to announce a new relationship that we hope is the start of an era of cooperation with our neighbors to the north in Canada.  Canada Sotheby's International Realty has finalized the agreements for its Calgary, Alberta office which is expected to open soon.  In advance of that opening, we here at Glacier Sotheby's International Realty have forged a relationship with long time Whitefish and Calgary real estate broker Tom Burk.  This unique relationship gives us the opportunity to offer properties located in Montana via the Calgary Real Estate Board www.creb.com to prospective purchasers in Calgary.  It is our feeling that this relationship will put us in a position to expose our listings to the expanding population of Canadian buyers interested in US properties.

4 Keys to Selling in Today's Market

 

Home sales and prices are still dropping around the country as huge inventories of foreclosures and short sales continue to weigh on many markets. So how can traditional sellers stand out in a crowded real estate marketplace? CNNMoney.com recently highlighted several keys to getting a home sold in a tough real estate market.

1. Cut your price by a lot. Buyers nowadays want to feel they are getting a "steal," real estate experts say. But some sellers may be tempted to list a property above fair market value just to test out the market and see if they can get a taker. In the past year, about 25 percent of sellers who initially listed their homes too high ended up having to reduce the price, according to Trulia.com. Read More.

 The Address

A Four Season Destination

 Pat Donovan, Broker Owner of Glacier Sotheby's International Realty

 

Montana's Flathead Valley has been a regional vacation destination since the Great Northern Railroad first pioneered a route into Whitefish at the north end of the valley. Executives of the railroad, seeking to establish the area as a world class destination in the late 1800s lobbied for approval of Glacier National Park. Their efforts succeeded in 1910, and since then the Park and the adjoining valley has grown into national and international prominence. Read More.
