The The Marble Table - MT is a top restaurant in Billings for a reason! Their char grilled Caesar is my favorite that I HAVE to order every time I go, before trying a new (to me) item on the menu and I'm never disappointed. If you haven't been, or if you're passing through Billings, make sure to schedule a reservation at one of the best locally owned restaurants in town!

The comments...😵😳😂
You definitely see some interesting things in real estate...I'm thankful my craziest is only dealing with a camp of squatters that took over a trailer listing on 2.5 acres in Billings. Their camp consisted of about 3 or 4 campers/RVs and had about 30 people, including kids and a young pregnant teeni recall seeing pushing a stroller around the property, which broke my heart.

The sheriff said he had experience with them squatting in the next county over previously... they were "professional squatters".
I had to serve them the official eviction papers from the court to start the legal countdown for eviction. The sale took about 60 days longer because of the timeframe to legally remove them all. A swat team did end up raiding the property during this process and arrested the ring leader.... "Butch" I think was his name.

I recall that as I was going through this in 2015, the current Governor Bullock vetoed a bill that would make it harder for squatters to do exactly what they were doing in this situation. He was quoted saying that the bill "wasn't neighborly".🤦‍♀️

Story time! 🍿

📍❄️ Subzero Temps, Real Estate Still Moving | Billings Weekend Check-In

While we’re all layering up and watching the temps drop below zero, here’s a quick local real estate check-in for Billings 👇

🏡 Yes — homes are still selling (even in this cold)
📉 Pricing matters more than ever right now
🤝 Buyers are taking their time, which means negotiations are back
📍 Neighborhoods are behaving differently — one size does not fit all

Winter always slows foot traffic, but it doesn’t stop serious buyers — especially those who need to move for work, family, or timing.

This isn’t a “panic” market or a “gold rush” market.
It’s a strategy market.

If you’re spending the weekend indoors wondering:
• “Should I wait until spring?”
• “What would my home actually sell for right now?”
• “Are buyers even looking in this weather?”

Those answers depend on your home, your location, and your goals — not the temperature or the national headlines.

Stay warm out there ❄️
And if you want real numbers or a quiet market check, I’m always happy to help.

📍 Billings Real Estate Update | What the Headlines Don’t Tell You

You’ve probably seen the national headlines lately:
• “Rates are volatile”
• “Buyers are sitting out”
• “The market is slowing”

Here’s what that actually looks like right here in Billings 👇

🏡 Homes are still selling—especially those priced correctly
📉 Overpriced listings are sitting longer, and buyers notice
🤝 Negotiations are back (repairs, credits, closing costs)
📍 Neighborhood matters more than ever—West End ≠ Heights ≠ Downtown

Billings isn’t following the national script. We’re seeing:
✔️ Local buyers still active
✔️ Relocations continuing
✔️ Sellers who adjust early doing better than those who “wait and see”

National news is loud—but real estate is local.

If you’re wondering “Should I wait?” or “What could my home realistically sell for right now?”—those answers depend on your street, not the headlines.

Happy to talk through your specific situation anytime.
No pressure. Just real numbers and honest advice.
