Spring in Montana

It’s spring in Montana and I am so excited! Spring is usually the only season that most of us can bring ourselves to leave Bozeman and we are all just returning from our spring break vacations. There is something so great about stepping off the plane to enjoy the fresh mountain air, bright blue skies and spectacular mountain views – it is always good to be home. Our snow is really melting with all the above normal temps we have been experiencing. Even our real estate market is showing signs of thawing. Coming off one of our tougher years in the luxury real estate market here, we have seen 4 sales close in the first quarter with 2 additional properties pending. This tracks us significantly ahead of last year’s luxury home sales.

With nearly 80% of all real estate buyers beginning their search on the internet, we keep a close eye on our Prudential website (PruMt.com) analytic reports. Our latest statistics show that inquiry traffic on the Fine Homes section of our website increased 20% in the last 30 days.

We are still seeing buyers coming in desiring our amazing Montana and specifically Bozeman lifestyle. Those buyers could wait to see if we have “bottomed out” yet but is it really worth missing our amazing summer coming up when any “wait and see” savings (if any) should be recovered in the next few years. Most sellers are acknowledging the new market realities and have brought prices into line with buyer’s expectations. There are numerous values out there for the savvy buyer.

Check out this beautiful piece of the Montana experience in Saddle Peak Ranch – what a view of the Bridger Mountain Range from the exquisite home and extensive outdoor living spaces.


























I’ll see you outside!
