ERA Landmark Marketwatch

May Greetings from Sharon and Brian

ERA Landmark — Fri, 17 May 2013 18:33:00 +0000

What wonderful spring weather we're having! We're welcoming our feathered friends back - Don saw a Lazuli Bunting this week! The goldfinches have turned to their brilliant yellow summer plumage. We're enjoying seeing the calves on the Ham ranch in Bridger Canyon. Elk are calving and we're seeing fawns. And wildflowers are pushing their heads up in the forests and meadows. Most glorious, though, are the pink, rose, and white apple and crabapple trees all over town - and the sunny yellow forsythia.

Ready, Set, Spring

The proverbial “spring is sprung” lingo is all around with most of us cheerfully looking forward to warmer and longer days. It’s also the time that people typically start sprucing up their homes, whether by simply scrubbing the oft forgotten corners or beginning a full scale remodeling project.

April Greetings from Sharon & Brian!

ERA Landmark — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:17:05 +0000

Don’t you love the way spring comes, hesitatingly, with starts and stops, to Montana? Bluebirds and robins have been sighted, but the cold weather is worrisome for them. And the elk herds are on the move. We just enjoy the warming sun when we have it. It’s still the “Last Best Place!”

Here are some spring thoughts for your perusal. If you have ideas of something you’d liked to read in these monthly newsletters, just let us know.

Montana Housing Report and Outlook

Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:07:30 +0000

I am constantly astounded by the diversity of the communities in Montana, and at the same time the inter-connectedness of our state. As the economy rebounds, the ripple effect has grown from east to west. The oil industry continues to supply employment opportunities for many Montanans across the state. I thought it might be of interest to take a look at the major individual markets and see how they each fared in 2012.
