Interest up regionally, but not sales so far in JeffCo

Interest in Montana real estate appears to be growing and summer may not be the only reason. However, sales in Jefferson County so far are not following that trend, according to the Montana Multiple Listing Service. 

Broker Steve Youde with Avatar Realty in Helena said he’s noticed an increase in property inquiries from out-of-state folks, many from the West Coast and Colorado, who want to escape urban growth, political unrest and COVID-19. 

Youde said one customer had been on a “three-year plan” to move to Montana, but with ongoing riots in his city, he’s ready to go now.
