below is the market performance so this year in the Billngs/ Yellowstone County area. the $8,000 first time buyer has brought activity ti the market place that will slow when it is gone. essentially if you have not entered in to contract by the end of October it will be hard to meet the dead line of November 30th to be closed. over all the year has performed decently when the events are taken in consideration
