February in Montana, winter finally came...

We received quite a snowfall this month that added feet of snow to our ski hills. It was hard to ski in all of that powder!

In addition to snow, we have a lot of activity in our real estate market. Homes that are priced well are receiving multiple offers, a lot of cash offers. Investors are moving money out of certain states and the stock market into real estate in Montana. In addition, interest rates are great and loan limits for conforming financing have increased!

MARKET STATISTICS

Mortgage Rates Are Dropping, Take Advantage Today!
January 2020

For 2020, The National Association of REALTORS® Chief Economist Lawrence Yun sees good news for home prices. “National median home price - 1.9% growth is in no danger of falling due to inventory shortages and will rise by 4%,” the long-term NAR economist predicts. He is also expecting the new-home construction market sales to increase by 10%. Yun and others would like to see home builders bring more affordable units to market to help ease shortages and slow price gains in that segment.

Closed Sales increased 83.9 percent for Single Family homes and 11.9 percent for Condo/Townhouse homes. Pending Sales increased 9.4 percent for Single Family homes and 69.8 percent for Condo/Townhouse homes. Inventory decreased 13.2 percent for Single Family homes but increased 21.0 percent for Condo/Townhouse homes.

The Median Sales Price decreased 6.1 percent to $450,000 for Single Family homes but increased 1.4 percent to $338,000 for Condo/Townhouse homes. Days on Market decreased 28.8 percent for Single Family homes but increased 30.5 percent for Condo/Townhouse homes. Months Supply of Inventory decreased 16.7 percent for Single Family homes but increased 14.3 percent for Condo/Townhouse homes.

We start off the year with continued low-interest rates, low unemployment, and rising rents nationally. These factors should encourage healthy buyer demand and sets us up for a strong start to the 2020 housing market and a lot of optimism for the coming spring market.
