As little knowledge as I have, I would be inclined to agree with you. It seems like what's already happened in Bozeman is happening in a lot of other places. When you say your Helena office, is that an office of a brokerage or agency that you work for? I would PM you but I think I need a few...
Lewistown definitely had a certain charm that we loved, but unfortunately it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere, which would make jobs hard for us.
Like you said, we want to make sure we're thinking about what the area we move into will look like later on. I certainly don't want to move...
