Real estate market attracting local and out-of-state buyers
By Linda Bruch
"There is a little bit of everything to be found in the Cut Bank real estate market," said Laurie Elhard of Dye, Tavary and Judge. "There are little investment properties, move-in ready, high-end, low-end and fixer-uppers."
And while there is a something in the way of a home for everyone, there is also a price range for every budget. "Depending on location, condition and the home itself, we have had houses for sale ranging in price from $15,000 to $350,000," said Elhard. "Years ago it was uncommon to sell a house for over $100,000, but not so anymore."
