We're just a few weeks away from the mid-way point in our markets and Missoula (much like other areas around our region) has had a very strong second quarter so far.  In fact when I prepared stats for the Missoula Organization of REALTORS(R) I knew the numbers would look good, however I didn't th...

  I'm just finishing up some broken apart reports by zip code for the greater Missoula and Lolo area as well as some city and county-wide stats.  I should have them up this afternoon and tomorrow!  Blog overload soon to come!

Missoula's good news with sales volume continues to roll in.  Right now (5/14) within just our valley and not looking at further out communities Missoula is up 32 residential sales compared to this time last year which represents a nearly 14.6% increase in volume sold.  Buyers are flooding the ma...

It's a cool and raining morning so while having a cup of coffee while the kiddos watch a few cartoons I figured I'd take a look at how Missoula is doing statistically so far this year.  This is looking 1/1 - 5/5 in the given year. For 2012: - 231 homes sold YTD with a median sales price of $201,0...

Yesterday was a beautiful day in the valley, highs near 60 degrees and lots of sunshine.  In my almost 13 years in the business I've seen that many times when the sun starts shining and it begins to warm up, buyer activity seems to increase as well.  With the spring market starting to arrive I th...

Volume in Missoula continues to do well, today is Februrary 24th (77 residential sales in the Missoula Valley YTD / 177 total sales in the MLS YTD).  Missoula as well as the entire MLS have not out-paced our quicker start in volume of sales since 2008... that's right pre "bubble" considering it w...

It's bee a time of reflection for me, just about 1 year ago my mother decided to close down the local RE/MAX franchise that she'd owned for 16 years.  As a group most of our office joined up with the local Windermere office and we've loved it.  The Missoula market was very choppy at that time, ou...

I had a nice opportunity to do a little interview with our local NBC affiliate.  The only thing I wish I would've done better was notice my tie!  It's all I see when I watch this, should've not worn it or tightened it, haha.  http://www.nbcmontana.com/news/30355875/detail.html    Brint Wahlberg R...

This video has been making the rounds on facebook and via email.  THis was put together by a local student here in town that stiched together this animation that consists of many of the familiar sights you see around town. It's pretty cool, I thought it'd be fun to share!   http://www.youtube.com...
