New Nonprofit Collective Aims to Strengthen Local Food Systems

BY MYERS REECE // AUG 11, 2019 // FLATHEAD BEACON

Glacier FEAST is a newly formed nonprofit collective whose mission is to strengthen local food systems in the Flathead Valley.

Local growers and food advocates formed Glacier FEAST (Farmers and Eaters Advocating Sustainability Together) “with the intention of supporting the expansion of Flathead Valley’s food growing economy into a thriving community-based system that is values-based and enhances the community’s economic, nutritional, social and environmental health,” according to a press release.

“Recognizing that a fully-functioning system includes everyone (if you eat, you’re in!), Glacier FEAST, a project of FarmHands Nourish, seeks to build awareness and help connect the dots in the system by bringing folks to the table from all parts of the local food system, including: producers, processors, distributors, consumers, and recycling/recovery,” the group stated.

    August has been a busy month for the Flathead Valley and Flathead Valley Real Estate. The Northwest Montana Fair was in town through the middle of the month. Rodeo, 4H, concerts, treats and rides met fair gores for a week. On Friday the 16th, Northwest Montana REALTORS sponsored the fair parade down Main Street in Kalispell. This is the second year in a row we sponsored the parade and the fourth time we have had a float. As always, we promote housing and our Charitable Foundation. This year we handed out around 5 pounds of candy and 800 frozen Otter Pops to attendees old and young.

    In the last 30 days we have closed 39 properties in the Whitefish area alone. Ranging from a $134,000 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo in Kandahar to a $3.4 million six bedroom, 5 bath, 6400 sq. ft. custom home on 26 acres. We also closed 7 properties priced at $1 million or more. The market continues to be hot. Call me today with any Montana Real Estate questions or to catch your piece of northwest Montana! I love what I do and I’m always here to help! 406.250.7311.

        Flathead county real estate market July 2019

        Real Estate Market Trends

        Smooth sailing: Flathead County residential sales by quarter past five years

        BY RICHARD DEWS // JUL 10, 2019 Flathead Beacon

        During which quarter of the year do the greatest (or least) quantity of homes sell? Q2 (April through June) runs amazingly neck-and-neck with Q3 (July through September) (see chart). For first quarter sales quantities, over the past five years, the slow uptick shot upwards noticeably in 2019. Q2 sales quantities have been almost identical, for 2017, 2018 and 2019.

        Eyes are on sales quantities for Q3 2019, which we’ve only just begun, as Q3 2017 showed a 15 percent spike over surrounding years. Outside of that spike, Q3 sales quantities have also been amazingly consistent for three of the past four years. The Q4 units sold grouping shows a nearly linear stair-stepped growth over these past four years.

        Q4 quantities were encroaching upon Q3 numbers, in 2018. One might summarize the chart as depicting a healthy picture of stability and manageable growth.

                Smooth sailing: Flathead County residential sales by quarter past five years

                BY RICHARD DEWS // JUL 10, 2019 Flathead Beacon

                During which quarter of the year do the greatest (or least) quantity of homes sell? Q2 (April through June) runs amazingly neck-and-neck with Q3 (July through September) (see chart). For first quarter sales quantities, over the past five years, the slow uptick shot upwards noticeably in 2019. Q2 sales quantities have been almost identical, for 2017, 2018 and 2019.

                Eyes are on sales quantities for Q3 2019, which we’ve only just begun, as Q3 2017 showed a 15 percent spike over surrounding years. Outside of that spike, Q3 sales quantities have also been amazingly consistent for three of the past four years. The Q4 units sold grouping shows a nearly linear stair-stepped growth over these past four years.

                Q4 quantities were encroaching upon Q3 numbers, in 2018. One might summarize the chart as depicting a healthy picture of stability and manageable growth.

                BY RICHARD DEWS // JUN 19, 2019 // FLATHEAD BEACON

                Last Fourth of July, we looked at the Flathead Country single-family residence sales quantities and median speeds (listing to contract) — and median list and sold prices per square foot. Let’s update the chart for this past year’s activity (since June 14, 2018), for homes whose original list prices were between $150,000 and $650,000 (see chart).

                Blue bars represent quantities sold over this past year, using the left-side vertical axis numbers. By far the greatest quantity of homes (200+) sold at the original list price. About half as many sold for 98 percent of their original list, stair-stepping downward from there in quantities sold through ranges of 97 percent to 90 percent of original list.

                Orange bars show that those homes which took longer to sell also sold for less of their original list price, with time-to-contract shrinking consistently all the way down to about a week for those selling at their list price.

                  Glacier National Park website launches new page to provide real-time updates

                  BY CHARLOTTE BAUSCH // JUN 17, 2019  // FLATHEAD BEACON

                  During peak season, Glacier National Park is choked with visitors. Cars circle lots with no open spaces, campgrounds are thick with tents and roads such as Two Medicine and North Fork are so busy that park workers are forced to restrict access.

                  The park’s new Recreation Access Display (RAD) is designed to help ease the pressure of these summer crowds, giving visitors real-time updates on the status of parking lots, campgrounds and roads on its convenient web interface.
