The 2020 Big Sky Residential Real Estate Future
On the one-hand, an uptick in Big Sky homes for sale in late January 2020 and continuing into May 2020 could be due to concerns of a long-range downturn in the Big Sky vacation rental market due to the Coronavirus.
On the other-hand, an uptick in Big Sky homes for sale could indicate sellers are anticipating an increase in buyers considering secluded places like Big Sky for a place in which to retreat during Covid-19.
