Why have thousands upon thousands of very wealthy people suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to buy a home in Montana? At this moment, Montana is one of the hottest real estate markets in the entire country. When a desirable house is put on the market, it can often spark a wild bidding war. Of course the vast majority of the potential buyers involved in these bidding wars do not actually have any roots in Montana at all. Vast hordes of wealthy individuals from Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and other major cities are flooding into the state, and there is only a limited amount of housing to accommodate them. As a result, home prices are being pushed to absolutely absurd levels.
In the Flathead Valley, home builders have been working incredibly hard to construct houses for the new arrivals. The following comes from a New York Post article entitled “Montana, the sold-out state New Yorkers can’t get enough of”…
All around the Lodge, along Montana Highway 35, from Kalispell to Whitefish, are what the locals call “COVID homes,” prefabricated track houses that line up along what used to be a timber farm — all of which were built last year and sold at around $550,000.
“Most were bought sight unseen for cash deals,” said Doug Averill.
$550,000 may have seemed like a hefty price when those homes originally went up, but today $550,000 would be considered a bargain price.
That is because the average selling price of a home in Flathead County has now risen to more than $638,000…
In May 2020, the average sale price for a home in Flathead County was $447,387 — a year later it had increased to $638,992. The average number of days a property stayed on the market...

They want to stay wealthy.........................
Wealthy people and poor people are in their situations for the same exact reasons.
Each group keeps doing that which will continue their status...........................
They ruin everything they touch.
They won’t last the winter.
Turn me loose set me free.
Somewhere in the middle of Montana.
Bye, bye Montana.
"Ultimately, I believe the the largest reason why we are seeing such a home buying frenzy is because people can see that our society is starting to come apart at the seams and they can sense that enormous trouble is ahead."
Because Idaho is full.
When the next generational wave -- the Generation X'ers -- retire there will be another wave doing the same thing.
In other news, Steve Daines started to peruse the want ads, as Montana is now irrevocably blue.
Are they brought in on flatcars? Or are they just adding a bedroom and a bathroom to the flatcar. Some prefabricated track houses are really lux...

-—Why they want to raise them up a crop of
Dental Floss Raisin’ it up
Waxen it down In a little white box
They have ruined where they live by voting for leftist policies and now want to escape the results of their votes. Montana will be a gonner since Leftists aren’t smart or intellectually honest enough to admit what they did and to not repeat it.
I might be movin’ to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a flop of dental floss
Raisin’ it up, waxen it down
In a little white box that I can sell uptown
By myself, I wouldn’t fave no boss
But I’d be raisin’ my lonely dental floss
Raisin’ my lonely dental floss
Raisin’ my lonely dental floss
Well, I just might grow me some bees
But I’d leave the sweet stuff to somebody else
How about you there?
But then, on the other hand I would
Keep the wax and melt it down
Pluck some floss and swish it aroun’
And I’ll have me a crop
An’ it’d be on top, that’s why I’m movin’ to Montana
Movin’ to Montana soon
Gonna be a dental floss tycoon, yes I am

I’m not sure many of these people are buying these places to live. The elite all have many homes.
The standard to keep up with your friends these days is:
-A house in LA
-A condo in New York
-A beachfront in Florida
-A ski place in Idaho or Montana
Bidenflation is coming. I look at my IRA rising a coupla’ hundred dollars everyday and used to think “Yippee!”. Nowadays I see it go up and know the dollar value went down that much. No more “Yiippee!” feelings anymore.
Guess their assets will be frozen. But then at least they will still own them.
Because wealthy Leftists are hell-bent on colonizing red states.
