Wyoming Real Estate & Relocation
WYOMING LAND
Wyoming is in the western United States. It is bordered by Montana on the north, South Dakota and Nebraska on the east, Colorado and Utah on the south, and Utah, Idaho and Montana on the west. The land within these borders was first called Wyoming in 1865, when a member of the Congress of the United States from Ohio suggested that a new territory be carved from Dakota, Utah, and Idaho territories.

The name Wyoming is a contraction of the Native American word mecheweamiing - "at the big plains" - and was first used by the Delaware people as a name for the Wyoming Valley in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Wyoming ranks ninth in size among the states of the Union, covering 253,337 square kilometers (97,814 square miles), including 1,847 sq km (713 sq mi) of inland water. The state has a maximum extent from east to west of 586 km (364 mi) and from north to south of 444 km (276 mi). About one-third of the state is mountainous.
Elevations range from 3,099 feet (945 meters) along the Belle Fourche River in the northeastern corner of the state to 13,804 ft (4,207 m) atop Gannett Peak in the Wind River Range, part of the Rocky Mountains. The mean elevation is 6,700 ft (2,040 m). The federal government owns 51 percent of the land, much of it in national parks, forests, or preserves.
WYOMING REAL ESTATE AND PRICING
As with most places, the types of Wyoming real estate on the market vary wildly in price and nature. However, with so much open space and a slant towards western-style living, you are likely to find many farm and ranch properties, recreational "getaways", log homes and multi-acre land for sale, in addition to residential housing and homes for sale in most communities.
Real estate pricing varies by location. It is highly recommended that you contact a realtor for complete real estate information on any Wyoming community or region that is of interest to you.
6 STEPS TO BUYING YOUR WYOMING PROPERTY
1. Make Sure You Are Ready
Do you know what you want? Are you relocating to the area, or looking for a vacation home? Are you looking for an existing home, or for land to build your dream home? Be as specific as possible.
2. Get A Realtor
No two properties and no two transactions are alike. In the maze of forms, inspections, marketing, pricing, and negotiating, it makes sense to work with a local real estate professional who knows the market and the community.
3. Get Pre-Approved For Your Loan
Find a local lender and get them to give you a pre-approval letter. Using a local lender helps to simplify the closing process.
4. Search For Property
Get a local agent to search for the property that is right for you.
5. Make An Offer
The offer amount is very important, but it is only part of what makes up the offer. The terms of the offer can represent thousands of dollars of additional value or costs to the buyer.
6. Closing
The closing process, sometimes known as "settlement" or "escrow", is where the necessary paperwork needed to complete the transaction is signed. It is typically held at the office of a local title company. In many cases, the buyer and seller don't need to attend at the same time. In the case of an out-of-town buyer, the appropriate documents are commonly sent between parties via overnight delivery.
