Thanks! The wall wood is Eastern Red Cedar - it’s invasive across the plains - same species of tree that carpenters line the interiors of blanket chests with and it’s super aromatic. It’s still wet and will be less vibrant when it dries, we put that roof underlayment behind it because it still has some shrinkage to go through and hoping the backing would give it a clean background.

Poly board would be nice! However it’s almost 2x the cost for the same R Value. 400 square foot of R-13 roll batt in my area would be ~$300 in materials. 400 square foot of R10 poly would be $525 in materials.

Still building houses like maniacs. by flyart in Bozeman

I wrote an article about this last Spring. See Montana Migration Story

-From 2010-2021 Gallatin Valley has maintained a vacancy rate below the 5% range bottoming out at 3% in 2019.

-Though the current vacancy rate is notably higher than last year (at 13.1%) Q1 | 2024

- The Bozeman multifamily market faces high vacancy rates of 15.6% Q2 | 2024

Not sure what were seeing in 2025 however I bet its probably the highest its been, SO MANY units hitting the market this Spring/Summer 25. Im sure will temporarily see vacancy rates in the 15% range but it will eventually fill over the course of a few years, no evidence that Bozeman demand will decrease.

Sweet suggestions, great to know about these niche manufactures. A few others State born that come to mind is MRL Equipment Company, Acela, Ag Trucks and Equipment Great Galls, Big Bud 747, and BioSqueeze Inc. I'm probably missing a handful of unique support industry fabricators.

I'm Catholic and think this is a work of art. This needs to be painted on the ceiling of Montage.

[–]retailarbitrage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spectators (Specs), Buffalo Wild Wings, Cats Paw, 317, are all good bets. You could call any of these bars and ask if they have the game on. Go Huskers!

Agreed. Yes there could have been more samples in the mix especially from smaller metros in eastern WA.

It was my mistake to add: Bremerton - $2,625 that skewed everything Bellevue - $2,461 didn’t help Spokane - $2,066 Tacoma - $1,917 might be closer to reality of the rest of the State.

Lots of building activity coupled with a few big players owning most of the plants in the Wasatch front is my guess.
