Still seeing signs of the same things in the really big. Projects being delayed or cancelled, builder who is usually very busy told me he has nothing starting this year other than a couple of additions.Quote:

As long as there are plenty of rich people and they don't need to be in the office all the time, I think they'll keep moving to the mountains. The demographic trend is just so strong.
And as Danno says, every time (if) rates and or prices ratchet down, a new group of buyers will engage.
We will see. Those projects in Big Sky are all very high end, 10-50 Million. Before the last slow down the 1st signs were in that high end market as well, the fabulously wealthy seem to know when the wheels are about to fall off.
I have a residential project just outside Bozeman, 96 SFHs being built by the same company. 1.7 million price point which for Bozeman is above entry level but not what I would label as a real nice custom build, lots are around .6 acres. They have built and sold 5 units and have another 5 that are nearing completion but not selling nearly as quickly. Would not be a bit surprised to see them tap the brakes on any additional starts until after the election.

I'm praying interest rates hold or go up
Fuck all the whiners my 8. 25% interest rate was a bummer
Found a stellar home easily 250 to 300k over what I'd pay hopefully it's still sitting there in December
My timeline is next spring or summer, so I'm at least hoping things stay steady right now. But a down turn wouldn't make me unhappy.

I'm seeing Candlelight Meadow condos that were going for up to 1.2 million are now being priced under 900k and still dropping. And it seems like sellers are having to compete as there are multiple units for sale. I'm curious to see how busy (or not) the resort is this year. Will you be there? Got a pass?Quote:

I will pay day rate for the tram for the 10 or so days I want to deal with it. With the new MLB chair I can enjoy skiing that side again.
Darth Powell has a good doom blog. Excellent riffs on selfish boomers
“Another way of putting this, Boomers have no idea why they have money at all.
That it was stolen from younger generations.”

Just ran into my neighbor (surveyor for the biggest engineering firm in the area) he says he has seen a slowing in terms of staking out sites, he is psyched. Also 1 house similar to mine just sold in here for 800K, fuckers don't even have trout fishing in their back yard.
2 other houses are about to go up for sale both to the north of me, be interesting to see what they bring. I am in no hurry to pull up stakes just yet. Biggest bummer is they were both good neighbors (1 is a Mag) and the President and VP of the HOA.
Buddy of mine is helping his mom list her place on 40 acres about 10 minutes from Steamboat Springs. (His dad just died.) Cannot be subdivided. They've been there 30 years. Great views apparently. Curious to see what they get for it. She's going to move into a condo in town.

I was working for The Club at Spanish Peaks in 2007-2008 and remember the wheels falling off in ‘08. I think we sold something like 100 units (lots, condos, specs) in 2007 and had something like 2 sales in 2008. Stock market crashed in September and shit rolled downhill from there. It was like the Illuminati knew ahead of time and us regular folks were left holding the bag. Learned a lot since then (hopefully).
Damn. Ranch property? Rich billionaires frothing right nowQuote:

Just let me know when....we'd be sad to see you go though.Quote:

But what is she going to buy? The equity is nice but where to buy for less?

No kidding, my uncle moved out there for affordability and got two or three times the house he could have bought in Oregon.Quote:
