Prices are down 15 to 20 % across the board in the residential market. The rental market has been effected as well.
Hotel vacancies increased dramatically because of overbuilding and cooling demand.

Another Minot real estate agent had posted that prices are dropping and seller's are nervous.

In 2010, the debt per capita was $888. Even with a nearly 9 percent estimated population increase, the current debt per capita is about $3,021.

Taxes Taxes & More Taxes
Minot 2018 Budget

Larry Bellew, a Minot state representative, spoke to oppose the overall budget. Although the city’s later research could not substantiate his claim, Bellew said his overall property
 tax bill will increase by 52 percent,  not including what he calculates to be a $3 sewer bill increase. The sewer flat rate will go up 48 cents and fee for 100 cubic feet
would go up 21 cents for residential customers and 23 cents for commercial customers. Can the citizens of Minot continue to afford to pay these increases
 or are we chasing them away?”
Bellew said. “I do not think I am the only one who thinks our property taxes are out of control.
Perhaps it’s time for our local governments, not just the city council but the other taxing entities, to adjust their budgets instead of making the property owners adjust theirs.

Minot City Council (Does Nothing To Cut Pork) Approves 2018 Budget

Larry Bellew - Letter To Minot Daily News - Sept. 2017
Taxes Taxes Taxes Taxes Taxes & More Taxes Taxes Taxes Taxes Taxes
An example is that the owner of a $200,000 home in Minot will see their property tax increase by about $535 per year and more for higher valued houses.
This does not include the City’s raising the monthly sewer fee by $3.
With these huge increases, something is wrong when a city official says that
“We don’t have an expense problem, We have a revenue problem.” Is this not arrogant to make such a statement?
It's Not Arrogance, It's Stupidity, The Problem With The City Council & Ward County Commissioners
Is None Of Them Have The Balls To Say No

Can our citizens continue to afford to pay these taxes or are we chasing them away?
Based on my research, Ward County, the City of Minot, and the Minot School District could be the poster children as to why property taxes should be eliminated.
Perhaps it is time for our local governments to adjust their budgets instead of making the property owners adjust their budgets.

"It seems unlikely that the local economy, and thus tax revenues are going to skyrocket in the next year or so.
This puts the City of Minot in a tough spot, with budget constraints and mounting debt."
City Right To Examine Tax Structure

Minot Debt - Page 9


2017
Another issue facing the city is debt that has increased about 165 percent in the past four years. The per capita debt of $989 in 2012 grew to $2,611 in 2016
“Currently the city’s debt is about $104 million. About $60 million of that is tied directly to growth,” Barry said.
 “Debt is slated to grow to $132 million by the end of this fiscal year.”
Of particular concern is not only the amount of debt but how far into the future it is extended, he said.
Debt once held for 10 years now is being held for 15 or 20 years, increasing the cost in interest payments.

Minot proposed budget for 2016 125,000,000.0

How is that possible, down 35 million from 2015 and property taxes still need to rise?
Had It Ever Crossed The City or County Minds To Hire Their Own Engineer - Architect?

Minot budget for 2015 155,000,000.00

424,657.00 dollars a day, 17,694.00 a hour.

Minot budget for 2014 190,000,000.00

521,978.00 dollars a day, 21,749.00 a hour.
Coming in just over $190 Million Dollars, the proposed budget for next year is a $12 Million Dollar increase over the current. 
That's due in large part to more money being put in place for the expansion of Minot International Airport. 
The City hopes to add 37 new positions for the coming year, which means an increase in property taxes for 2014,
"The city is growing by leaps and bounds, that means more garbage routes, you have more streets to plow,
 you have more water and sewer you have to take care of and different things like that. 
Growth doesn't come without a price," said Minot City Finance Director.

Since been removed
"It's time to get creative. I suggest you take old, used and empty oil drums and make house foundations out of them."

Minot Population going to 100000
  Comment dated Dec. 2012 sums it up.
  Dec 19, 2012
This poll is just plain silly. Minot will not double in population unless something big happens to attract people to Minot.
 So far, nothing has been said or presented as far as new jobs, statistics or studies that would indicated this  new influx of 50,000 people
 to Minot within the next 10 years.  If Minot doubles (which I doubt) it would be larger than Fargo and surpass Bismarck.
I am guessing Bismarck would double before Minot. If people are thinking OIL is going to be the reason.
So far Oil has not had as much impact on Minot as some Minot city leaders are saying. When you look at Job Service statistics.
 There are not very many people working in the oil industry in Ward county, let alone Minot. As towns like Williston, Watford,
 Dickinson, Stanley, Tioga, etc... build more and more housing, people will move to those towns before Minot, since those towns
are where the oil jobs are at. Minot is recovering from a flood that damaged or destroyed over 4,000 homes. Thus for the construction boom
 to repair or replace the damaged and destroyed homes. Also, Minot leaders keep forgetting to give credit to the US Air Force Base and its personal.
 The base in Minot has had a large increase in new people due to an increase in the Minot Air Force base getting new programs and jobs
commissioned for the base. But 100,000 people in 10 years? I really doubt it.

A source who has or had direct connection to the parking ramp project also told

Santa Fe Oil Formation

Big Oil Moving Toward Minot - 2010

Oil drilling will come to the Minot area in the near future, says Lynn Helms, Director of the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources.
"All the established Bakken-Three Forks companies are playing Parshall and west.
But the new money coming in is going to have to go into some of the more risky areas, so I'm very bullish on Three Forks production in
Ward County and even as far as here, " he said, referring to Minot.
The Bakken Formation, home to 4.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil, is hailed as the largest continuous oil formation ever assessed by the USGS.
However, the Three Forks - Sanish formation lies directly underneath the Bakken zone and extends beyond it.
According the Helms, the Three Forks Formation extends beyond the boundaries of Bakken
and can produce oil as much as 75 to 100 miles past where Bakken production is.
