Off Topic, but it's my thread.
Anyone see prices stalling or reversing? I am very pesimistic by nature. Just happens.
Speaking with this surveyor, and I crossed paths with a traveler on a recent flight from this very close area....both are expecting a decent tumble.
Surveyor states he's usually booked up 6 months in advance. Now....saying he can see the end of his list and may get to play this summer.
Traveller simply stated it's his opinion it's getting stale.
I've lived in Washington, Idaho and New Mexico.
New Mexico....they can't give it away. $200,000 cash for raw land there would buy you almost a county.
They are not giving Idaho away anytime soon. Was through Challis and Salmon last weekend looking around.
I could be a Townie anywhere in the West. But land where you only see a neighbor or two....and abutting BLM, State or USFS.....not for $200K.
Montana....for the most part.....forget it. Harlowtown, Fairfield, Chinook or Glasgow maybe.
Most of the lots I see for sale....when referencing via OnX....are folks from Menlo Park, California or some other bougie area. Gifted chunks of land they've never seen possibly. Most are out of state addresses for RO.
Envision more people cutting ties with lots they've never seen as the economy continues to tank and inflation increases??
Surveyor's theory is many of the teleworkers who've never been to the Main Office are getting laid off. And many of the nicer western Gems are only gonna be supported by Dual Income.
We know you loved the bike path from Hamilton to Missoula...but time for you to go back to Chicago
