Not selling north of Montana

If north of Montana is special and everyone wants to live there, why are houses not selling? Not enough buyers, or are even those buyers price-sensitive?

Anyway, here's the fifth mid-month list of everything north of Montana over 30 days on the market (10/15 previous). Three joined the list and seven were removed, but a number of new listings within the last 30 days will likely join this list next month.

Just came across your site. Useful info but You seem to take a perverse pleasure in all this pain. I don't get it.

"All this pain"? People who own property north of Montana are hardly people in genuine financial pain. When I think financial pain, I think enduring the ravages of poverty, not that a Persian land developer just got hosed 15% on his flip project. That isn't pain, it's comedy.

Good one, Anon #2!

Anon #1, is the greater pain not being able to sell at inflated prices, or that prices got so inflated that buyers were priced out of the market unless they used toxic financing?

I find falling prices hopeful for future buyers. I suppose, too, there is an element of seeking poetic justice among bubble bloggers.
