    Wow! What’s the deal with western Montana? I’m surprised housing is so expensive there. Or are wages just really low?

      Montana sells a lot of large properties with a provision that the surrounding land be a “nature reserves”, making them a valuable speculative asset for the rich.

      Low wages and a growing conservative retiree mecca, kind of like Arizona, but much less populated so there’s a much stronger impact.
