2025 Could See Another Big Influx Of Transplants To Montana

Much has been made and written over the last half a decade that has seen the population in Montana explode.

Doug Greene, owner of Signature Properties, a property-buying company based out of Philadelphia, has come up with 3 states that he says you should look to buy real estate in as soon as possible.

The Reason Why Montana Is A Hot Buy For Property

It should surprise no one that one of the big reasons Doug said to buy property in Montana is all our recreational activities in the great outdoors.

However, it's the following quote that should ruffle a few residents feathers:

It’s a great state to purchase a vacation home, Airbnb as an income opportunity or even as a primary residence if you are so inclined to the slower pace of life

The last thing Montana needs is less housing for current residents and more for tourists.

He also adds that thanks to our lower taxes, your dollar goes further in Montana than in other states or major cities.

I truly believe Montana residents don't mind people moving to our beautiful state, but when someone who doesn't live here tells everyone else to move here, well, I don't think I'm alone when I say that guy can kick rocks.
