135 K in Bozeman? You must have owned it for awhile. Just how small is it.
I spent almost 400K building mine in the Bitterroot 12 years ago, 3,200 sqft 3 bdrm 3.5 bath on 24 acres. 575K was the last appraisal but who knows anymore what anything is worth. We get no mortgage interest deduction as we owe so little. Would pay it off quicker but the spousal unit wants to travel. So it’s New Zealand for 5 weeks this winter!
Smoke is much better here the last several days btw.
Spent $29,000 on two acres overlooking the valley in ‘92. Built in ‘95 - there was a building slump in the valley in ‘95 to ‘96 so my reclaimed old growth fir package was sold for $1.00 per board foot. Rough now goes for $5.00 BF, S4S is $8.00.
Neighbors just sold a (not as nice) lot for $300,000 this summer...
I did a great deal of the work myself (skilled carpenter).
2 bedroom, 1,450 sq. ft. deck 12’ off the ground.
Things are expensive in the ‘Zone these days, Wife is a RE Broker/Owner.
Happy fun times to you in NZ!
The rain seems to have cleared the smoke - perhaps we can catch a glimpse of the Perseids after 3:00 AM...
