WhitefishYards Development - Investment Opportunity

THE NUTS & BOLTS

What else can you tell Me about the Whitefish market?

  • Properties here, for the value of what the client gets with the outdoor lifestyle are still priced with exceptional affordability. These are still GREAT market-entry prices compared to many similar resort towns.

  • To find a comparable property/opportunity in similar ski/resort towns (such as Vail or Jackson Hole for example) would instantly 3-5X the price.

  • Whitefish and the Flathead Valley offers:

       - 269+ fresh, clear blue lakes

       - Glacier National Park with 3M+ visitors annually

       - Whitefish Lake. And Flathead Lake nearby, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi at 200 sq mi + over 300 feet deep.

       - Whitefish Ski Resort, a world-class Ski Resort, owned by Bill Foley. The flood of visitors grows each year.

       -  A 2nd Ski Resort, Blacktail

       -  Nearby Hot Springs

  • It is world-class outdoor, wholesome living.

  • The average home price is at $1.27M. Population is 8.1k

  • We are 1 hour south of the Canadian border / Canadians spend over $166M every year here, as well.

Is Whitefish Montana an Exceptional Real Estate Market to Invest in?

  • Yes. Short Answer. It is exceptional.

  • Why? Aside from offering World-Class outdoor lifestyles; ​89% of our real estate market is closed in cash.

  • This community is among the fastest growing in the state and is positioned to rival other resort towns nationwide.

  • The Airport is in the middle of a $150M expansion and adding more connections nationwide to support the influx of people here.

  • Historically, since the Dot Com crash ~2000, people flock here to find refuge during less positive economic times; and, even more so when the economy is flourishing.

  • There is also a steakhouse currently under construction that will be the most affluent and exclusive steakhouse in the State. All local UHNW investors are putting money into the local economy and gearing up for the next wave of public interest / tourism in the area, on unprecedented levels.
