That 7.3 mil project wasn't in the Y/C. Lowly Spanish Peaks, 7.3 mil won't get you a lot in the Y/C anymore.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Oh, I know that, 7.5 won’t get you ‘much’ in BZN city limits, either!

Winners and losers. 20 or 30somethings that managed to scratch together a downpayment 15 years ago were able to get on the real estate train. Being 20 or 30something now, not so much. Around here, small business owners that busted ass have done OK. Paycheck wage slaves, not so much.
I haven't heard about and projects getting the plug pulled...yet. For better or for worse, the not so rich second homo can cover there current payment for STRs. The truly rich, are building new homes with cash. Believe it or not, even with as expensive as new builds are, the 3-5k sq. ft. homes that I work on and getting finished with 20-30% instant equity.
I'd say the one to watch is land prices. Its a really expensive buy & hold proposition. People tend to buy lots as a speculative place holder to the future and right now they are at crazy prices. It seems this is where the downturn always hits first.

I guess I'm just a lot less nostalgic for empty storefronts, crumbling abandoned houses and businesses getting away with paying under $9.00 an hour.

You guys can't be serious that long time ski town locals are magically getting WFH tech jobs and being able to afford houses. Those are all recent transplants.
Unless you are just part of the wave and consider your friends who moved there three years ago the lucky ones. Then yeah sure, lucky them.....Live Free or Die

I know multiple people that have lived here for over 15 years that were working for non profits and are now working for LOCAL (not WFH) tech companies. They commute downtown daily (on bikes they bought from local shops.) They buy lunch at local restaurants downtown.
We've lived here 12 years and the opportunities are SO MUCH better now. More work for engineers, more construction jobs, actual tech jobs (these literally didn't exist here 12 years ago), people starting restaurants and retailers are doing much better, opportunities in healthcare abound, etc. My wife got a job at Bob Wards when we moved here. She was paid peanuts and was sexually harassed almost daily. Now she's an account manager with a downtown office.
Yes, housing is too expensive and I would like an all in approach to that issue.Last edited by RoooR; 04-20-2022 at 10:16 AM.

^^^ All fair points. Bozeman is seeing this as well and for some its great. However as long as Montana relies on property taxes for a large part of our revenues then those who are just scraping by (many elderly or long time residents) well, they are screwed.

I'm nostalgic for the days when people with master's degrees worked at Mini-Mart or in construction or at the plywood mill because they wanted to live in Missoula. And a one bedroom apartment was less than $200 a month so that lifestyle was actually affordable. Nowadays you can have a good job with good pay-- and you still can't afford to live there. That's not progress.

And:
A population that peaked in 1950 and is now almost 60% off the high.
The highest unemployment rate in the USA.
One of the highest crime rates in the USA.
One of the lowest percapita and HH incomes in the USA.
One of the highers poverty rates in the USA.
Some of the worst water quality in the USA.

The more telling number isn’t any of those you posted, it’s business dynamic #s which for years have been tilted to the west and sunbelt - several years ago Montana as a state was #1 in new business formation per capita, Ohio #49 above only MississippiLast edited by dunfree ; 04-20-2022 at 03:31 PM.
