The next surge

[Sytes]

Figure the insurance payout on million dollar, simple 2 bedroom homes w/ all their personal effects in L.A... No realtor fees to pay either. These are the base, bottom dollar homes. Palisades, Eaton $$$$ homes! Then again, might be a good time to invest in KBH, DHI... Lot of home building on the horizon!

A good chunk of dough will infuse certain areas that have gained popular status. Montana, care of television... Rip will be there to assist with moving in.

Yes, IMO, there will be another influx of Californians moving to Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. Not near the Covid setting as remote jobs are fading as quick as employers can reduce.
HOPEFULLY, the 310 rule will turn to be a yuge WIN for Montana values over the grotesque massive house 15' off McDonald river in GNP. That might help soften some of the Californians that hold little to no regard for The Last Best Place.

In the end, as it may disappoint me for their move to these last great mountain States, what a tragic loss of personal memorabilia and houses that held family personal treasured memories. What a wicked series of fires! Move where they move, all for it though respect the location you move to. Not like they read these threads... though spouting out my hope they respect where they decide to place a house.

Good thing there are no forest fires in Montana and Idaho and the entire northwest. And the smoke well heck you get used to it in time. Heck these folks down south will feel right at home.

My 10 year plan is to move somewhere in MT none of those people want to move to. Unfortunately, I’ll still have to deal with them at least 12 weeks out of the year for the foreseeable future.

12 degrees with a 25 mph wind here today. -15 tomorrow it says. Not a house in sight. 60 miles to the nearest grocery store. Plenty of room. Come on out!!

I don’t think if it will be a surge, but the trickle won’t ever stop.

That said, for those fleeing fire, it’s getting pretty hard to insure homes in Montana in a lot of places. My wife’s family cabin in Lincoln went from having the insurance double, to no longer being able to find an insurance company to touch it with a 10 foot pole. And I don’t blame the insurance companies. Particularly in places served by rural VFDs who rarely could respond to a house fire in any amount of time to quash the conflagration - God Bless em.

I suppose the other side of the coin that is Montana’s housing prices is that even folks from the well-to-do otherlies may not be able to afford to move here. That’s definitely slowed things down.

So you don’t believe in real estate investment?

Only if it’s displaces locals and disrupts the local housing market
