A later section of the report provides an overview of how Flathead County is growing in comparison to other counties in Montana. Information on Flathead area housing prices and sales are also provided in the next section. Information for years prior to the period covered in this report is available upon request. Construction activity data is collected from building permits issued by the City of Kalispell Building Department. Residential construction types are referred to as single family residence (SIR), duplex (DUP), townhouse (TH), multi -family unit (MFU), and manufactured home/mobile home (MH). For the purpose of this report, townhouse numbers are combined with the duplex category. The MH category includes all classes of manufactured homes including double wide and modular homes. Townhouses have become more common in recent years, but are not reflected in a separate category until 2003. Townhouses were counted in the SFR or DUP category previously to 2003. Numbers recorded for multifamily units, townhouses and duplexes represent the actual number of living units created within the housing projects. Senior apartment complexes and assisted living units are included in the multifamily category and numbers also represent the actual number of units within the project. This report also includes a summary of major commercial construction projects for which building permits were issued since 2006. CITY OF KALISPELL Recent Population Estimates The most recent census data for incorporated places (July 1, 2009) estimated that the population of the City of Kalispell was about 21,640 a 52.1 percent increase from the 2000 Census population of 14,223. (Figure 1) This represents an average annual population growth rate in Kalispell of about 5 percent per year since 2000. Kalispell remains the 7th largest city in the state. Population increases have been significant since 2000, considering that the population of the city grew by only 19 percent during the the 1990's. Local officials expect that the population of the area will continue to increase in the long term, but it is not likely to see the same rate of growth experienced during the past decade. The national economic and housing situation continues to affect the Flathead Valley as well as other parts of Western Montana that had rapid growth during the last decade. Loss of jobs and/or lack of job opportunities that are related to the decline in housing construction may be causing some residents to leave the area in search of employment, and in the short term, the next four years, will actually contribute to a stable or slightly declining population. 3 25.OW 22."0 2a.000 menu 1s4000 12.5m 10,000 7.sao a 9,737 iLJ. i � i Figure 1 City of Kalispell Population Trends 19 50 - July 1, 2009 10,526 20,689 11.91 / 1950 19W 1970 1980 29M 21.640 14,223 2000 7/1/09 census Est Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Decennial Census, 1950 — 2000, and Annual Estimates of the Resident Population for Incorporated Places in Montana, April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2009 (SUB-EST2009-04-30) Release Date: June 2010 Kalispell Building Permit Summary The City of Kalispell issues permits for all construction projects in the city. (Figure 2) The City of Kalispell Building Department issued 228 building permits during 2010, as compared to 208 during 2009, 272 during 2008 and 432 during 2007. This represents a 9.6 percent increase over the previous year. The total number of permits includes all types of construction including new, remodels, additions, or any other activity requiring a permit. 4 Figure 2 Total Building Permits Issued by Month, 2007 - 2010 70 60 46 50 40 30 E a 20 0 to Jan Feb Mif Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 111111111111112DD7 27 27 44 38 63 37 45 29 40 44 21 17 —0-20D8 17 25 13 28 29 40 24 23 30 12 11 20 —*-2009 5 10 13 15 26 14 19 18 26 29 19 14 —0-2010 11 16 13 38 2S 22 16 22 17 24 14 9 Source: City of Kalispell Building Permits 2007-2010 New Residential Housing Construction Total 432 272 208 228 There has been a declining number of new housing starts in Kalispell each year since 2004, in which a record number of new homes were constructed. While there is still demand for new housing, locally, there still appears to be a surplus of unoccupied new homes for sale, probably a result of the nationwide economic situation, as well as several years of speculation in the local housing market. Once again, the number of new housing unit starts dropped during 2010. There were 92 new housing unit starts in Kalispell during 2010, a 10.7 percent decrease from 2009. Single family home construction was up 8.7 percent and construction of new townhouses and duplex units was down 46.8 percent. The number of new multi -family unit starts were down by 12.1 percent. (Figures 3, 4 and 5) (Tables 1 and 3) The number of new housing unit starts is still significantly below the previous 5 year annual average, as well as the previous 10 year annual average. (Table 2) As can be expected, most new housing starts occur in the newest subdivisions. However, build out has slowed considerably in both the incorporated and rural areas of Flathead County. 5 The majority of new housing starts continue to be that of single family homes. Since about 2000 there has been increased demand for townhouse, duplex and multi -family housing, which tend to be more affordable than traditional single family housing. Increases or decline in construction of multi -family units is better understood as a factor of how the data is collected. Several large multi -family housing projects received building permits in late 2004, but actual construction of these projects did not begin until 2005. Because multi -family projects are usually constructed over a longer period of time, it is more feasible to look at annual averages for this type of housing over a five year period. During 2010, a 23 unit low income senior housing project got underway on Grandview Drive, as well as a 6 unit independent senior housing structure on 5th Avenue West. Also, by the end of 2010, 33 multi -family units in four separate structures on the north side of Appleway Drive were well on the way to being completed. Permits for the foundations were issued in 2009, and the units were counted in last year's numbers, and will not be counted in the 2010 numbers. In 2008, 33 multifamily units were constructed in three separate structures in the same area. During 2010, 8 federally subsidized Self Help homes were started in Spring Creek Estates on Three Mile Drive. The program is administered by Northwest Montana Human Resources and allows qualified families to earn down payments, closing costs and equity by investing sweat equity in building their own home and other self-help housing. Maps showing locations of new residential construction are provided in the appendix of this document.

Commercial and other non-residential activity began rapidly increasing during the last decade, especially along Highway 93, north of the downtown area. Commercial and other non-residential activity directly influences residential construction and population growth. This report attempts to address the most significant non-residential projects of the past few years, as well as projects that are underway. Although it is not associated with the Kalispell Building Permit system, one of the most significant construction projects of 2010 was that of the completion of the south portion of the Highway 93 Alternate Route between Highway 93 South and U. S. Highway 2 West in late November of 2010. During 2010, there was not a significant amount of new non-residential space created in Kalispell. Several major remodel projects were completed or are underway. The Kalispell Fire Department added a second floor with 5,791 square feet of living and office space, a project valued at about $1.1 million dollars. The Social Security offices located in Ashley Square, west of Kalispell underwent a major interior and exterior remodel adding additional offices and restrooms. This project was also valued at about $1.1 million dollars. Other projects of 2010 included a remodel and a 2,099 square foot addition to the Sykes grocery store and restaurant on Second Avenue West. There was also a new 7,058 square foot office/retail building shell constructed in Hutton Ranch Plaza, and a 6,912 square foot office building on Village Loop, off of Whitefish Stage Road. A 1,560 square foot engineered structure was placed on West Center Street and is currently used for retail sales. A major renovation of the interior and exterior of the Flathead County office building, often referred to as the "Blue Building" is nearly complete. Offices were temporarily relocated during construction. 1,040 square feet of space was added to house an elevator and a foyer. The remodeled building is now called "Courthouse West" where the Department of Motor Vehicles, Accounting Department and the Tax Department, as well as the Superintendent of Schools and Family Court Services, are now located. The remodel was valued at just under a million dollars. Flathead Regional Medical Center began demolition and remodeling for a future expansion valued at $3.7 million dollars when complete. An interior remodel of Smiths Grocery and Pharmacy is underway. A drive -through pharmacy will be added and the entire project is valued at about $1 million dollars. Several projects that were underway in 2009 were also completed during 2010, including the new Walmart Supercenter and the Montana Club restaurant. Construction of the new Federal Express warehouse was also completed in 2010, located in the Old School Station subdivision in the southern portion of the city. Since all of these projects began construction in 2009, the values and square footages were accounted for in the 2009 report numbers. 9 Non -Residential Construction, Prior Years The new Department of Natural Resources and Conservation offices and fire cache located south of West Reserve Drive on Stillwater Road were completed in 2009. A new Flathead County 911 Call Center also began construction near the same location. Another significant non-residential project of 2009 was the complete remodel of the vacant Tidyman's store on 1 st Avenue East, which is now a Super One grocery store. In addition, a Five Guys restaurant opened in the Hutton Ranch Plaza in an existing structure. The construction of Home Depot in 2004 represented the beginning of the major commercial development on the north end of the city. A variety of businesses including Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, TJ Maxx, Ross, Pier One Imports, Petco, IHOP, and multiple other retail stores, offices, and eateries have become established in Mountain View Plaza since 2004. The development of Spring Prairie Center followed which is located on the west side of Highway 93 North across from Mountain View Plaza. The area for development included nearly three quarters of Section 36. Lowe's and Costco came to Spring Prairie in 2005. In 2006, a Holiday Inn Express was built near the future Highway 93 Alternate Route, north of Lowe's. A new Wells Fargo Bank and a Starbucks were established on the smaller commercial lots along Highway 93. The new Glacier High School completed construction in 2007, on West Reserve Drive and Stillwater Road. Also, during 2007, a Famous Dave's restaurant and McDonalds were constructed on the commercial lots along Highway 93. Construction in Spring Prairie Center slowed in 2008, during which an Urgent Health Care Clinic, just north of McDonalds, was constructed. Eisinger Honda and Eisinger Chevrolet constructed about 65,000 square feet of new office and retail space on 15+ acres on the northeast corner of Highway 93 North and West Reserve Drive, to accommodate relocation of their Honda and Chevrolet dealership in 2007. Hutton Ranch Plaza, located just south of Mountain View Plaza began development in 2006, constructing several structures for future businesses. Several businesses opened in Hutton Ranch Plaza in 2007, including a new Sportsman Ski House, a 14 screen theatre, banks, and a variety of restaurants and offices. In 2008, a new Sizzler Steakhouse was completed in the Hutton Ranch Plaza. Flathead Valley Community College added a Child Development Center, an Occupational Trades building and an Arts and Technology building totaling over 89,000 square feet in 2008. Expansion of health care facilities has slowed, but continues in the Kalispell Regional Medical Center area. During 2007, the Cancer Treatment Facility added 7,165 square feet and the hospital added 5,760 square feet. In 2008, a 15,252 square foot, two story shell was constructed in the hospital area, to accommodate additional professional offices. Other projects of 2008 included adding a 14,050 square foot third story to the Earl Bennett Building, accommodating the expanded Flathead City -County Health Department and other county services. The Veteran's Administration added an 8,976 square foot office building near their new clinic on Three Mile Drive, and a 3,400 square foot Chiropractic Office was constructed on North Meridian Road. A downtown health fitness center added 2,483 square feet to its existing area. Eastside Brick, a condominium, apartment, office development, constructed a 2,743 square foot shell that is now a coffee house/restaurant. A clubhouse was constructed at Silverbrook Estates, off of Church Drive at the very north edge of the city. to The Hilton Garden Inn South was completed in 2007, in the old National Guard Armory location north of Rosauers on Highway 93 South. The armory was relocated north of Kalispell. Since 2005, in the Daley Field subdivision south of Rosauers, a McKenzie River Pizza, a liquor store, a furniture store and a new office building have been constructed. A list of major new commercial/retail/office; public structures; and significant additions during 2010 and the previous four years is provided in Table 4.

Source: City of Kalispell Building Permits, 2004-2010 16 CITY OF KALISPELL LAND SUBDIVISION — FINAL PLATS The nationwide economic and housing slump is in its second year and has affected many areas of the West that had been experiencing a housing and economic boom. The speculative market of the past few years created a significant inventory of lots and parcels in Flathead County, many of which remain vacant and offered for sale. The slowing of subdivision activity since 2006 is a reaction to the market and economic conditions. As a result of current market conditions, there were no new lots created in the City of Kalispell during 2010. This is the first year this has happened since we began preparing this report in 1973.

Phase 3 of Westview Estates, located north of West Reserve Drive was also approved for 30 single family lots on about 12 acres. Ashley Heights, a 26 single family lot subdivision, located on the south side of Sunnyside Drive, was also approved in late December of 2009. 17 During 2008, Phase 1B of Phase 1 of Silverbrook Estates was approved for 107 single family lots on about 73 acres. The final plat of Phase 3 of Mountain Vista Estates on Three Mile Drive was also approved in 2008, with 25 single family lots, 14 townhouse lots and 1 lot for a future Fire Station. Phase 2 of Aspen Creek, also on Three Mile Dr, was approved for 30 single family and 10 townhouse lots. Three Mile Views was approved for 14 townhouse lots and 2 lots intended for multi -family structures. Spring Prairie Mixed Professional One was approved for 1 lot, on which the Forest Service Supervisor's and the Tally Lake Ranger District offices are now located. Adjacent to the new Forest Service offices, Lot 1 of Phase IA of Timberwolf Center was approved and is now the new location of the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) offices. Phase 2 of Hutton Ranch Plaza was originally planned for 9 commercial lots, but was changed to 1 lot to accommodate the new Wa1Mart Supercenter. Construction began during the fall of 2009 and the new Wa1Mart store opened in the June of 2010. The largest subdivision approved in 2007 was Phase 1 of Spring Creek Estates with 174 single family lots on 51 acres located on the south side of Three Mile Drive. Phase 2 of Mountain Vista Estates was approved for 47 single family and 20 townhouse lots. Phase 3 of Northland Subdivision was approved for 25 single family lots.

Average lot size previously included open space and roads. The city now more actively encourages and requires open space in new subdivisions, especially those with high density lot configurations or those that encompass sensitive areas, such as wetlands or floodplain. Therefore, we have added open space and roads into the tables since 2006, to more accurately depict actual average lot sizes.

At the end of 2010, there were approximately 890 vacant residential lots and 33 non-residential lots in these subdivisions. All of these lots have city services available and are ready for construction. It is important to remember that these numbers include vacant lots in subdivisions approved since 2004 only, and that this is not a complete list of vacant lots and parcels in the city. An existing landuse inventory updated at the end of 2010, shows that approximately 37 percent of the land in the city of Kalispell is vacant. Vacant lands do not include parks, or other openspace or vacant school lands. This is a result of the large annexations that were planned for future development, which have not occurred. A list of subdivisions approved since 2004 and the approximate number of vacant lots within each subdivision as of December 31, 2010 is provided in Tables 10 and 11. When looking at these numbers, two points should be made. Between 2004 and 2008, the height of the housing and real estate market, an average of about 250 lots a year were being sold and constructed on. At this rate, the current number of vacant lots would equate to about a 3 1/2 year supply in the city of Kalispell. However, in today's market the demand is more likely to be 50 to 100 lots per year. During the peak of the housing and real estate boom there were not enough lots on the market to keep up with the demand, which drove prices up at record rates. hi the current market there are several years supply and not so much demand. Correspondingly, lot prices have dropped and market conditions have left a greater supply of vacant lots in the city. Secondly, approximately 261 of these lots are in Silverbrook Estates, along Church Drive at the north end of the city. The Silverbrook development was originally intended to accommodate higher end homes. Sales of lots in higher end subdivisions are slow in the current market. If vacant lots in Silverbrook Estates were not counted, there would be approximately a 2 1/2 year supply of vacant lots in a fast paced market, a 6 year supply in the current market and up to a 12 year supply in a very slow market. During 2009 and 2010, the Silverbrook developer has completed or begun construction of 24 single family spec homes intended to be moderately priced to accommodate the current market. 24 Table 10

SUBDIVISION - PRELIMINARY PLATS & FINAL PLATS PENDING APPROVAL These are proposed subdivisions that the preliminary plats have been approved or that a final plat application has been submitted but has not been approved yet. When a preliminary plat application is approved, the applicant has 3 years to submit the final plat for approval. A final plat can differ slightly from the preliminary plat, in design and lot configuration, and may have more or less lots than originally proposed. Table 12 is intended to show an approximate number of lots that are planned for final approval within the next 3 years. During 2008 the nationwide housing and economic downturn hit the Flathead Valley. The demand for new housing locally continued to decline through 2010, as people lost jobs and home foreclosures continued to rise. Median home prices also began to drop. Housing inventory remains high with a smaller number of buyers. During the past year, several preliminary development plans were put on hold. There have been multiple requests for preliminary plat extensions, allowing developers an additional year to submit final plans before the preliminary application expires. During 2010, a modified preliminary plat application was submitted for the Willow Creek project located on the north side of Foy's Lake Road and adjacent to the Alternate Highway 93 route. The subdivision is now planned for 397 single family and 74 townhouse lots. The preliminary plat for Phase 3 of Spring Prairie Center was allowed to expire in the fall of 2009. In December of 2010, the developer submitted a new preliminary plat for 10 commercial lots encompassing 21.92 acres. The preliminary plat plan is scheduled to be reviewed by the Kalispell Planning Board in January of 2011. The Planned Unit Development (PUD), Silverbrook Estates, encompassing 325 acres and located on U.S. Highway 93 North and Church Drive was annexed into the city in late 2006 and completed final platting of all of Phase 1 during 2008 and 2009. A preliminary plat for Phase 2 was submitted in late 2008 and is planned to include 13 commercial lots, 1 lot for a future fire station, 196 single family lots and 90 townhouse lots. The commercial use is planned to be at the intersection of Highway 93 North and Church Drive. The remaining phases of Westview Estates on West Reserve Drive are planned to include approximately 47 single family lots and one lot intended to accommodate an apartment complex. The preliminary plat for Bloomstone on Four Mile Drive was approved in 2008 and if an extension is not requested it will expire in April of 2011. The Preliminary Plat for Bloomstone was originally approved for 89 single family and 32 townhouse lots, and a 64 unit apartment complex. Conceptual plans were submitted in 2008 for the Starling Planned Unit Development, encompassing approximately 640 acres which includes all of Section 35 on the west side of Stillwater Road and south of West Reserve Drive. The project was proposed to include 2,500 to 3,000 homes on about 420 acres, 40 acres of mixed use, 147 acres of open space, 15 acres for an elementary school and approximately 19 acres of internal streets. The project was expected to be phased in over a period of approximately 20 years. The preliminary plat of Phase 1 of the Starling development was approved in 2007 for 131 single 29 family lots, 98 townhouse lots and 64 apartment units. The developers have requested an extension, giving them until August of 2011 to submit a final plat application. The final plat of Phase 3 of Mountain Vista Estates was approved during 2008. The preliminary plat for Phase 4 was approved to create 19 single family lots when final platted. The developer has requested an extension for Phase 4 which will give them until August of 2011 to submit a final plat application. Glacier Village Greens is planned to add another 15 single family and 62 townhouse lots when all phases are completed. The developer of Glacier Village Greens has also requested an extension for submitting a final plat application until November 2011. Preliminary plats that are pending final plat approval are listed below. Once again, it is important to note that preliminary subdivision plats are subject to changes between the preliminary plat and the final plat approval. Three preliminary plats expired during 2010 that included 115 residential lots. At the end of 2010, there were approximately 1,353 residential lots and 63 non-residential lots in Kalispell that have been through the preliminary plat process and still scheduled to go through the final plat process within the next 3 years.

The area of the City of Kalispell has more than doubled in land area since 2000. U. S. Census data determined that the area of the City of Kalispell in 1990 was 4.4 square miles and 5.46 square miles in 2000. At the end of 2010 the City of Kalispell encompassed approximately 7,528 acres or 11.76 square miles. This represents a 115% increase in area since 2000, and 167% since 1990. There were only 4 small annexations during 2010, amounting to about 13 acres. These were done mainly for the purpose of providing access to city utilities and there are no immediate development plans for these properties. (Table 14) During 2009 approximately 231 acres were annexed into Kalispell. The most significant annexation was that of approximately 208 acres south of Kalispell between Highway 93 and the planned Highway 93 Alternate Route. Plans for this area include mixed residential and commercial use and will require a Planned Unit Development (PUD) agreement as development occurs. A 10 acre parcel on Three Mile Drive was annexed and was planned to accommodate an assisted living facility. No plans have come forth yet to complete this project. Other scattered small annexations occurred as a result of an effort to bring wholly surrounded properties into the city. (Table 14) In 2008, about 570 acres were annexed. Two of the largest included approximately 486 acres between Highway 93 North, West Reserve Drive and Whitefish Stage Road, better known as the Glacier Town Center site. The area is planned for mixed residential and commercial use. Gardner Investments annexed approximately 82 acres east of Highway 93, and south of Lower Valley Road. (Table 14) The development of this property is likely to be commercial/industrial in nature and will require a Planned Unit Development (PUD) agreement as development occurs. Annexations in 2007 resulted in over 1,100 acres being added to the city. (Table 14) Large annexations of vacant land in 2007 were likely in anticipation that the rapid housing and population growth of the past decade would continue. As of the end of 2010, these large areas have seen very little development.

April 1, 2010 was Census Day, and between April and July, Census takers visited households that did not return the questionnaire, to insure that every household was being represented. The Census Bureau recently delivered state population data to the President for apportionment, and will begin releasing additional Census 2010 data in March of 2011. As of Census Day, the U.S. Census Bureau determined Montana's population to be 989,415. This represents a 9.7% increase since the last Census Day on April 1, 2000. For the past 9 years, since the 2000 Census, estimates for cities and counties were the only information available. The 2010 Census data, when complete, should reflect a more accurate count of population and households in cities and counties in Montana. Until the city and county 2010 Census data is released, we are using the latest Census estimates from July 2009 for cities and counties. According to 2009 Census estimates, nineteen (19) of the 56 Montana counties had populations in excess of 10,000, and of those nineteen counties, 6 had decreases in population since 2000. Of all Montana counties, 34 of 56 lost population between 2000 and 2009. Flathead County continues to be one of the fastest growing counties in the state. Since 2000, Flathead County had been the second fastest growing county in the state in percentage and has now fallen slightly to third in numerical increase. Flathead County is the 4th most populated county in Montana and represents about 9% of Montana's total population, and 20.8 percent of the increase in the state population between 2000 and July of 2009. In other words, Flathead County has absorbed about a fifth of the increase in population of the ENTIRE STATE between 2000 and 2009.

Development projects that are planned within a reasonable distance of incorporated areas, often request to be annexed into the city to receive water and sewer service, which allows for higher density development. This would explain why the population in rural Flathead County is not increasing at the same pace as the cities. As of July 1, 2009, it was estimated that 39.5 percent of the population of Flathead County resided within the three cities of 38 Kalispell, Whitefish and Columbia Falls, compared to 30.7 percent in 2000 and 32.4 percent in 1990. (Figure 12 through 15 and Tables 14 and 15) While the majority of those living in Flathead County reside in the rural areas, there has been a notable increase in those who are choosing to reside in the incorporated cities. This is especially noticeable in high growth areas, such as Flathead, Gallatin, and Ravalli Counties. Several factors may be contributing to this trend. The escalating price of real estate over the past few years in counties with high growth rates may have prevented some people from purchasing larger parcels outside of incorporated areas. An aging population, rising fuel costs and longer commutes may also contribute to the increasing urban growth rates.

The City of Whitefish accounts for about 22 percent and Columbia Falls, about 11 percent of the countywide population increase since the 2000 Census. Since 2000, the growth in the unincorporated portions of the county accounts for 17.5 percent of the total growth in the county. Population increases in concentrated communities like Evergreen, Bigfork and Lakeside are counted as rural and have seen significant population increases over the last decade. These communities are considered Census Designated Places (CDP) and population numbers will not be available for these communities until the 2010 Census data is released in 2011. Figures 13 through 15 demonstrate the increased rate of population growth in Flathead County incorporated areas, as compared to rural population growth. The City of Kalispell population has been steadily increasing since the 1960's with especially significant increases since 1990. The annexation of large areas into the incorporated cities for development of high density mixed use and residential housing is a major contributing factor to the differences in the rate of population increase. These large annexations have occurred more so in Kalispell than in Whitefish or Columbia Falls. 40 60.000 55.000 50,000 45.000 40.000 C 0 3s.000 0 30,000 Q. 25.000 20.000 15.000 10,000 5.000 0 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 0 Figure 13 Flathead County Total Population Flathead County Population - Incorporated vs. Unincorporated ■ Incorporated Q Unincorporated 11.

The 2010 Decennial Census data is scheduled to be released beginning in March of 2011. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey that collects data throughout the year and produces important statistics about population and housing and how communities are changing. It covers the same type of information that is collected every 10 years from the decennial census long form questionnaire. The American Community Survey eliminated the need for the separate long form in the 2010 Census. The American Community Survey is available annually for counties with a population of 65,000 or more. For Flathead County, much of the information is obtained from the annual American Community Survey. The American Community Survey (ACS) has some issues when comparing with Decennial Census data. The American Community Survey is a more inclusive universe and uses ALL owner occupied units in tabulating median value. The Decennial Census is based on a sampling of "specified owner occupied" units. It is important to keep these comparability issues in mind when looking at the numbers. Median home value should not be confused with median home price. Median value assumes that'/2 of homes have a value of less and have a value of more. Median home value data is determined by the U.S. Census Bureau and is based on owner -occupied homes only. This value is the owner's estimate of how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) would sell for if it were for sale.

Assuming these numbers are somewhat accurate, median home values in Flathead County are still falling, but continue to remain higher than the statewide and nationwide median values. National & Regional Existing Home Sales and Prices Overview The National Association of Realtors (NAR) Public Affairs Office issues a news release on or near the 25th of each month with the latest existing -home sales figures. The releases include analysis and quotes by NAR's Chief Economist regarding sales volume, prices, inventory and interest rates. The information in this section is the latest data available at the time this report was prepared. The NAR data release schedule is available at http://www.realtor.org/ tress room/news release_ schedule In late 2009, Congress passed legislation that extended the First -Time Home Buyer Tax Credit up to $8,000 to first-time home buyers until April 30, 2010 and expanded the credit to grant up to $6,500 credit to current home owners purchasing a new or existing home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010. Long term mortgage rates have declined to record levels, and lower home prices have helped to stimulate the market. The national median existing home price for all housing types was $170,600 in November, up 0.4 percent from November 2009. The median price is where half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less. Distressed properties, which accounted for 33 percent of sales in November, continue to downwardly distort the median price because they usually sell at a discount relative to traditional homes in the same area. Regionally, as of the end of November 2010, existing home sales in the West jumped 11.7 percent to an annual level of 1.15 million in November but are 19.0 percent below the sales peak in November of 2009. The median price in the West was $212,500, up 0.4 percent from November 2009. Existing home sales in the Midwest increase 6.4 percent in November to a level of I million but are 35.1 percent below the year ago surge. The median price in the Midwest was $139,900, down 1.1 percent from November 2009. Existing home sales in the Northeast rose 2.7 percent to an annual level of 770,000 in November, but are 33.0 percent lower than November of 2009. The median price in the Northeast was $242,500, which is 9.2 percent higher than a year ago. In the South, existing home sales rose 2.9 percent to an annual pace of 1.76 million in November but are 26.1 percent lower than November of 2009. The median price in the South was $148,000, down 2.6 percent from a year ago. Many factors affect what happens to the housing market, including a continued recession and a growing deficit. The information contained in Tables 16 through 18 was obtained from the National Association of Realtors and includes current sales rates, actual totals and median prices by month going back 12 months and annual totals for three years.

The National Association of Realtors stresses that markets are very local. The trend was somewhat delayed in reaching the Flathead. The Flathead area enjoyed several years of a housing and commercial construction boom and economic growth, which created jobs in most sectors of the local economy. In Flathead County, many jobs have been lost in the construction, timber, and several other sectors over the past two years. Home foreclosures in Flathead County began to increase significantly in 2008 and are still on the rise. (Figure 15) The recession took a while to reach the Flathead, and State economists predict that recovery in Montana counties that experienced rapid growth during the last decade may lag behind the national and statewide recovery.

Again, it is important to note that the "median home value" provided by the U.S. Census is NOT the same as "median home price" and caution should be used if these numbers are compared. Median price assumes that half of homes cost less and half cost more. The cost of purchasing a home in Flathead County rapidly increased over the past decade. The most significant increases, both in price and number of sales were between 2003 and 2007. However, the 47 median sale price of homes began dropping in 2008 after several years of rapid increases. By 2009, the number of homes sold countywide had declined for a third year. The number of homes sold countywide in 2010 increased 13.7% over 2009 sales. (Figure 17 and Table 19) Median prices still appear to be decreasing slightly. (Figure 18 and Table 19) It is too soon to determine if the housing market has hit bottom locally. Factors possibly related to increased sales are a large inventory, including foreclosures, low interest rates, and declining prices. The following figures and tables show trends for home sales in the Flathead area, but do not reflect sales of real estate without homes. 2,000 1,800 1,600 1.400 1,200 1.000 $00 600 400 200 , 0� Figure 17 Flathead County Home Sales, 1984 - 2010 �sr 10 0e d1 IPO Iy .+� f . 9�1Pe a, lt� ,off '0 '' d °�0 0 `.)rn Tr 1p� II Source: Kelley Appraisal, January 2011 48 SiI�•• I, $2SO,C-00 $225.000 5200,00(i 5175,000 5150,000 $125.000 5100.000 S75,000 S5O.W S25AKI 5C.
