GALLERY: 15 of Missoula’s Most Interesting Homes

This week, the Missoula Building Industry Association will hold the Parade of Homes September 15-17. If you're interested in real estate, it's a great way to see what kinds of homes are being built in Missoula, and if you're renovating, it's an opportunity to pick up a few ideas.

At other times of the year, and especially during and after the pandemic, many people started looking at houses online, even if they didn't have any intention of buying. It became so common that Saturday Night Live created a skit about treating Zillow.com like a fantasy website.

But what about homes that aren't for sale?
