 |  | The most recent events of COVID-19 have created a "Flight from Density" wave. During the past several months, we have seen densely populated metropolitan communities highly impacted by the virus. There is a strong trend of families and multigenerational families making the decision to relocate in search of a less dense environment. This trend is occurring all across Western Montana and is being driven primarily by buyers from major cities such as Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York. When Montana implemented several restrictions for tourism at the onset of the virus, the implications of a lack of visitors engaging with the real estate market remained a big question. As we continue to navigate through the re-opening of Montana, we now have approximately two months of real estate data to analyze since the initial shelter-in-place directive. With such a large state as Montana, it is encouraging to see that every major community reports positive metrics in their real estate markets during the past couple of months. Almost all markets saw increases to both their units closed and their median sales price compared to the same time period from 2019. This is according to data from the Multiple Listing Services in Gallatin County & Park County, Billings, Missoula, Flathead County, and Helena from March 16, 2020, through May 15, 2020. | | | ERA Landmark 2020 Summer Real Estate Guide | We live here, we love it here, and we are invested in our home communities.
