By all measures, 2021 was a banner year for the country’s luxury residential market, despite the economic uncertainty caused by the continuing global pandemic.

At least 40 properties in the United States sold for $50 million or more last year, a 35% increase from 2020, and at least eight sold for at least $100 million, a 300% jump from the prior year, according to data compiled by appraisal firm Miller Samuel and The Wall Street Journal. Real-estate experts attributed the increase in activity to low interest rates, as well as a surge in wealth created through gains in the stock market and alternative assets like cryptocurrencies. While deals in the ultraluxury sector don’t always speak to a broader surge in real-estate values, in 2021 they did coincide with a general uptick in the overall housing market. As of November 2021, existing-home sales were on track for their strongest year since 2006, thanks to low mortgage-interest rates and a robust job market, The Wall Street Journal reported.

2. Jane Fonda if you're listening . . . please move back to Montana and bring your Democratic friends

and family with you! I'm tired of Republicans "owning the libs." Let's own them right back by having those multimillion-dollar ranches bought up by the liberal West Coast "elites" the right despises so much. Wouldn't this about drive Marjorie Taylor Spleen over the edge?

And yes, I realize that an influx of wealthy property owners spells trouble for affordable housing for the rest of us. But if we can't stem the tide of wealthy folks coming to Montana, let's at least have them be wealthy liberals with a social conscience.
