Billings No. 3 In The Nation!!!
by Larry Thomas

With all the bad real estate news we have all heard lately, it makes one wonder, how bad is it here ? Well, not so bad according to a national online real estate search firm, Housing Predictor. Housing Predictor predicts that 5 montana cities will be among the top 25 cites in the USA in appreciation values percentages. Billings at No. 3 in the nation leads the Montana pack with a forecast of 3.1 % appreciation in home values for 2009, folowed by Bozeman at No. 9 , Great Falls No. 13, Livingston No. 14 and Missoula No. 16. So the forecast for Montana in general and Billings in particular looks pretty good. Just think of the top 25 in the nation, Montana has 5 which is 1/5 of the total in the whole USA !!!
Referring back to an earlier blog " Why Buy Now" that all real estate is local and the national market has very little relation to the local market, it looks like Billings is a good place to sell as well as buy.
