First National Bank Gillette WY

Whenever we have a positive experience with a local business we like to share our thoughts with others, in hopes that they can benefit as well.  This is the case with First National Bank of Gillette. We have been a customer at First National for a little over seven years now.  We have used many of their services and have never been disappointed. We have worked with First National on a personal and professional level and have found them to be of choice for both!

Serving northeast Wyoming since 1963, First National Bank of Gillette is the only hometown bank in Campbell County.  First National Bank is a community oriented, people first, financial institution, committed to the growth of Campbell County. This is evident when you walk in the bank and people know your name.  It is also quite clear by the number of sponsorships, charity events, youth activities, community organizations, etc. that they so diligently and generously support.  First National is head and shoulders above anyone in Gillette.  This generosity and community support is another reason we are proud to bank here!

Just as we have had great experiences with First National for our personal and business banking, we have also had great experiences on a professional level.  Their real estate lending department is second to none.  They offer everything from traditional mortgage lending to home equity lines of credit and bridge loans.  Each one of the real estate lenders is competent and experienced.  We feel very comfortable recommending them to a first time home buyer or to a seasoned investor.  We have always had positive transactions, which we attribute to their responsible lending practices, and their ability to make all of their decisions right here in Gillette!

With the main bank downtown, and a branch at RC Ranch, banking is always convenient.  Check out their website to learn more about the services they offer at First National Bank of Gillette and don’t hesitate to contact us when you have questions.  As you can see we are thrilled with the services we receive and will be customers for life!

Gillette WY Real Estate Market Update November 15, 2011
We hope this finds you well as we near the holiday season. Attached you will find the Gillette Real Estate Market Update for this month. Notice that the absorption rate has continued to drop and now sits at exactly 6 months. This indicates a perfectly balanced overall market. However, a closer look at the numbers reveals a tale of two markets.

Homes under $300,000 continue to be the most active. This price point continues to be driven by foreclosures and new construction. Buyers and investors have been taking advantage of the deals on foreclosures which explains the very low absorption rate for homes under $120,000. Buyers are also taking advantage of the new construction between $200,000-$300,000. We have some builders that are offering quality products at this price point. Couple that with record low interest rates and it is a very attractive option for many buyers.

The higher end homes continue to be the slower end of our market. Low inventory can show some misleading numbers when a couple of sales occur, and we are still seeing these homes sit on the market for longer periods.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us when you have questions. Also feel free to pass this along to anyone who may find it useful. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
