Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm in Kalispell, but spend a bunch of time around "T-Falls". Give a shout and I'll try to make it down to help unload. BTW, you'll be just up the road from the Noxon Reservoir. That is THE walleye hot spot of western MT. |

Dang that's too bad that you had to switch so late in the game, especially with the "appreciation" of real estate from last year to this year in western MT. Sellers being shady is something that's hard to overlook though, especially on something as critical as water (a well). We got a similar vibe from the 1st home we put an offer on down towards Kila. Wife and I are supposed to be closing in mid June on a place with mountain views on the west side of the Flathead Valley. House in MN is sold and pending an early June closing. Our buyer agreed to a "rentback" for up to 60 days in order to allow us time to A) find a home ~1200 miles away and B) get all our $hit out there. I want to get on the road the day we sign the paperwork on the new one.  Without any stupid delays we should be out and settled before 4th of July. I don't have any marines helping me though but I do have myself (infantry vet) an infantry friend and my combat engineer brother.

Quote HistoryQuoted: First house was 3 acres and an HOA (which I don't want) new place is A LOT more money but 40 acres and nicer house....and no HOA!! Sounds better. More land is always better! No HOA is priceless. Not inheriting someone else's problem water situation is also priceless. I wanted 10-20ac, wife was fine with as little as 1ac (ya...no). We ended up with >10ac and no HOA on a private road with great access. It also has the lightest covenants I saw on any property with covenants and the internet we need to work is available. It's almost perfect for us honestly. With prices as they are in the Flathead I'm not sure we could have afforded much more than we got. Two years or hell, even a year ago it would have been attainable, but not in today's market. That's just how the cookie crumbles I suppose. If it all goes to $hit, and it very well may, we'll be sitting pretty while paying off our doubled mortgage with inflated dollars. |

As someone coming from MN to the Flathead, I’m well aware of northern winters because I’ve lived them for 40 years. I think the Flathead is actually a bit milder than my home climate so it SHOULD be a breeze for me The real question is how long have you spent in sub freezing temps? A week or two at a time or 6 months straight? Yes it makes a difference. Hunting or ice fishing trips are one thing, snow and all of the accompanying work from early October till as late as May is a whole different animal. Not trying to discount your experience at all, just that it’s different when you can’t escape back to a warm area for months. Funny story: my wife’s coworker from California moved to Bozeman last summer. They wanted their Montana dream. Then November hit. They were back in California before Thanksgiving and sold their brand new home over the winter. The temps they thought were “unacceptable”? 32 degrees! |

Part of it is the altitude while part has to do with the jet stream - but another issue is that in Ohio for example the distances aren't that great and the roads are cleared regularly. Distances between things are a lot larger here and roads tend not to be cleared outside of the interstate and bigger cities. You get to keeping within a moderate distance even with a good vehicle when things get bad and it drives some people batty. |

Very nice to watch all the steps on this side of the process! Having just sold our house and having it go smoothly was a huge plus.
We have/had some appraisal issues on the buying side but as of today the appraisal report is at the underwriter and we should have a closing date by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, IF they aren't pricks and require repairs. Are you closed on your new home yet or are you contingent on the sale of your current home? Things move more slowly than we're used to in Montana and I feel like we had to chew the ear off our lender out there to get some movement on their part. Part of that may be because it's a local lender. Who knows. It took their appraiser 16 days to get out to the property though. Ugh. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Close first week of July on the Montana house, ours goes for sale Tuesday. I don't "need" to sell my NC house to move. Just would be nice to have it gone before I leave. It's much easier being non-contingent and I wish I was in that situation to start but I wasn't, mostly because the house we won is a HUGE upgrade for us. Good news is the closing is done on our current house and we have the money in the bank so we're now non-contingent. We're just renting it back from the buyer until we're out of here and he's a decent kid so it should all work out. I understand about wanting it gone. One thing I should have done is insist on a quick appraisal and a quick close, then take the offer that best matches your terms, for the house you're selling. If you haven't done so already, your realtor can probably set that up in the listing and in their communications with prospective buyer's agents. Buyers are willing to bend over backwards to try to meet everything sellers want just so then can get the house they really want. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's much easier being non-contingent and I wish I was in that situation to start but I wasn't, mostly because the house we won is a HUGE upgrade for us. Good news is the closing is done on our current house and we have the money in the bank so we're now non-contingent. We're just renting it back from the buyer until we're out of here and he's a decent kid so it should all work out. I understand about wanting it gone. One thing I should have done is insist on a quick appraisal and a quick close, then take the offer that best matches your terms, for the house you're selling. If you haven't done so already, your realtor can probably set that up in the listing and in their communications with prospective buyer's agents. Buyers are willing to bend over backwards to try to meet everything sellers want just so then can get the house they really want. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Close first week of July on the Montana house, ours goes for sale Tuesday. I don't "need" to sell my NC house to move. Just would be nice to have it gone before I leave.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Listed our house Sunday and already accepted an offer for more than we listed for. It's good to be a seller right now. Over asking price offers, waived inspections, offers to pay over appraisal if that's an issue, rentback of the sold home. Buyers are bending over backwards to get a damn home LOL. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Had 4 more wanting to look today but I'm already tired of people wandering around my house. Probably could get more than what was offered but IDGAF. I'm ready for Montana!!! We got the same way. 1 offer on the table with a "preview" at a 2nd offer coming in (it was lower). The first was 8% above asking, waived everything and met our other terms so we took it. Easy peasy. Done in less than a day and got what we wanted. |

I guess with the market, they jumped before actually thinking about it...  . Hopefully you have another contract by tomorrow!

 My last "kill it and grill it" in North Carolina. Dove stuffed with jalapeno spiced pickles (homemade) and wrapped in center cut bacon. |
