Dillon housing costs. (houses, employment, buy)

[TheFamilyGrace]

Does anyone know why houses in Dillon are priced so low? My wife and I have beautiful homes for next to nothing in that area. Do most people commute to larger cities for work?

The prices are low because of the lack of higher paying jobs and the long distance to employment centers. Montana is kind of a B.Y.O.J. state. Are you selling your houses or did you just buy them ? Heck if one of them is cheap enough I may want one.

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant the we have seen houses selling for next to nothing in Dillon. Relative to some of the other areas that we have been looking at , the prices there seem to be very low. Is Dillon generally an agricultural city? We do know that there's a college there.

Dillon is a cow town in a big open valley. When I was looking for another place, I couldn't find anything I could afford in Dillon. But then again I'm a major cheapskate,
