Moose country, best line of the video Scott. Thanks for all the information.

I got out of the military last month and I'm already looking at a land in Down East. I want to get in before the state gets too crowded. About the whole "don't bring too many people to Maine" thing - I get it. Places that are beautiful and not crowded are usually either super expensive or totally undeveloped. The key is just to be respectful and nice to everyone. The world is what we make it.

So taking all counties into count, it costs half a million dollars, on average, for a house in Maine. I think I'd rent an apartment or maybe look into buying a condominium. But then again, I'm single without kids. And knowing me, I'd want to be close to the coast. Another great video.

Wow

Lmao Maine has the least snow out of all the New England states. Hilarious you think Maine gets a lot of snow 😂😂😂😂

Portland is already dead and gentrified. Its boring and lame now.

Hey Brother, First and foremost, I sincerely hope that you and your family enjoyed a spirited and "Merry Christmas" too. I admire the strong and spirited position that you took, regarding making the celebration of our Commanding Lord's birthday front and center. This is my first time watching your video. It was professional and informative. And my gut sense is that you are a strong leader, who is steadfast and confident. Well, I certainly appreciate your input regarding the winters in Maine especially, since my wife and I are planning to visit Maine for the first time sometime in February?! More importantly, thank you for the invaluable tips about winters in Maine. One thing I learned while scouting was to always be humble, tactically wise, and ask the locals all about their environment, especially for threat analysis.This has proven invaluable, especially from safety and security perspectives! Once again, thanks and I enjoyed listening to your presentation style! Sincerely, Bill Seddon Sr. P.S. "Philly Philly."

Lived here 25 years with no serious difficulties. We hate tourists, so PLEASE stop telling them this is a nice place to visit.

Maine is full , dont move here

There have been parking passes for the beach since the early 80's at least that is nothing new. Vines landing aka the gut. Personally there's too much building going on by the water and people forget we still get a lot of big storms and hurricanes not as many as down south but I e seen beach houses be picked up and the remaining bit pushed across the road to be fair. I wish more mill towns with vacant mills would be redesigned there are plenty of them or I wish someone would do something with the old trull hospital there are still vacant spaces without wiping out woodland areas the less we preserve the more bleak the future. I do wish they would work more on parking down town so those areas are more easily accessed.

I live in Wilmington ma, I’m looking g to buy 30+acres w cabin. I’m about a yr away from it my btc bags will pay for the house lol

Maine period is absolutely communist state they hate free speech they hate you standing on your rights they arrest and jail on a simple complaint they launch investigation that cost tax payers 100s of thousands based on what junkies say they run you out of small towns if you don’t drink and sexually assault women and kids there in there own little world

Thanks, Scott! Nice to meet you 😊

Keep speaking TRUTH. No need to apologize. Thanks for being honest. It’s happening many other places.

Having grown up in a small ski slope town in Jay / Livermore Falls with a rope tow ski lift powered by a tractor engine forcing skiers to buy heavy duty gloves as to now burn their hands, I've got a slightly different opinion on the skiing here in Maine. Raising kids on these type of towns is great. As an adult Sugarloaf and Sunday River is always the mountains that people recommend. Albeit, I would enjoy in perfect conditions to go to Sugarloaf, it is rare that when they had gondola service at least that the top of the mountain was open. Too windy and never available. Sunday River I have nothing bad to say. Saddleback is the best mountain. However due to ownership and infrastructure its a local's ski slope. As a realtor, new people moving to this state are disappointed initially and in certain regions they last a few years then move. Or tough it out eventually becoming very negative due to the growing retired community here with not enough services to accommodate. good video.

I love Maine! I'm from Caribou, Maine. Born and raised on the family farm. I was working before I knew I was working! Back in the 70s the schools in Aroostook County went back to school in late August for 3 weeks then we were let back out for the potato harvest. This traditional practice helped out the farmers and the students got to make some money. We up here in "The County" are well known for our work ethics. When I joined the Army in 1980, I might have come from the country, but I knew many different things that these mama's boys had no clue of. I'm older now and a housebound disabled veteran, and I hate it! What I wouldn't give to be able to walk again.

You teaching the massholes and such how to live here more comfortably rubs me the wrong way . They already started ruining our real estate prices .

thanks for sharing this information

Love the content!

I want 2 acres in western Maine?

Your point regarding the sometimes inaccuracy of town tax maps is apparently correct. A lot abutting my Maine camp/wood lot that I purchased a few years back is listed by the town tax records as 35 acres, it actually surveyed out at just shy of 50 acres. Interestingly two of the four sides are town lines.

Raiders!✌️

Very informative thank you! I’m thinking about moving out there and I’ve used the VA loan back when I was stationed in Colorado and it’s such a blessing. Appreciate the info

Outstanding video!

I definitely want to move there soon! I love the very cold and deep snow! I’m from New Jersey

Can you tell me more about the former navy base housing availability in Brunswick? Thank you!

So informative! Thank you very much! I’m looking to move in the next 6 mos or so (ish). Can you share any info about the Brunswick area?

En Kennebunkport también hace ese frío? Siempre he querido vivir allí 😊

As long as they don’t change the integrity of Maine. I grew up in Maine and moved due to better career choices. Maine is not heading in the right direction currently based on various reasons crime has increased & other issues.

Born and bred Mainer here. The worst thing about Maine winters is the power outages, but as long as you have the right gear, those can be survived. Fill up your tub and gallon jugs with water so you can still flush the toilets. If you don't have a wood or pellet stove, get an alternate heat source like a kerosene heater. And if you can afford it, get a generator to keep the fridge going so you don't lose your food. Easy peasy.

Appreciate this honest breakdown to set some expectations for Maine!

Been here 4 years and Portland completely sucks. It's a liberal sh#thole

A sanctuary means that police serve and protect all people in the city, regardless of their immigration status. If someone is undocumented, they should feel safe to report a crime without worrying about being locked up themselves. It's safer for everyone. At least that's my understanding.

Not a "New Mainer", "From Away" lol

I have to say I live on the west coast and our news just reported that Portland, ME was the most livable city in the USA.

How would it be living through a central to northern Maine winter in a modernized 1750's house? Looking to do that next year sometime. From Texas.

Another one that doesn't know the value of diversity. I would rather have my kids exposed to some other cultures than live in blank white suburbia with cookie cutter interests. I grew up in Maine (and lived for a time in 4 other states).. These Maine folk are some of the most judgemental, narrow minded people that exist. Some of us even descended from Salem witch trial families and their thinking (like this guy) has not evolved all that much since then. They want to blame the immigrants, yet most of these immigrants are a better class than their white ancestors that first populated this godforsaken wilderness.

Moving from Louisiana to Maine hopefully January I don’t care about the cold. I’d rather be cold than freaking hot and miserable all the time.

Wow, extreme exaggerations of Portland. I don’t see homeless encampments coming into Portland or Commercial St, Deering Oak Park. Do your research before you spread disinformation. Btw, I live on Brandy Pond in Naples. My house is worth maybe on a good day, $450,000. Cheap for a lake house. I am 40 minutes west of downtown Portland.

Basically you and your followers are entitled and racist. Good to know. Lived here over twenty years and it's clear everyday people are mostly cool. It's the entitled racist douche bags like this that make living here suck dick. They don't work and all they do is walk around with their parents money making everyone miserable. If you honestly wanted to make any area in this state good is free Healthcare, housing and education. This state would be eden in no time, but douche bags like this wouldn't get paid and then be able to pretend they are holy blessed people. Maine is awesome but it's douche bags like this that make it hard to survive and trash people to live around. Find some good everyday working class people. Stay as fat away as possible from assholes like this. There's nothing wrong with immigrants or the homeless. If you wanna solve the homeless problem, HIVE THEM HOMES AND HELP! Heartless douche bags. Immigrants are the back bone of the nation. 90 percent of these douche bags are the children of immigrants. It's only the skin color of your immigrants was white while the ones you're trying to make demons is black and brown. Then you try and pretend you're not racist? Rrrrriiiigggghhhtttt! How about read a book and grow the fuck up. Fucking kowards and klowns!

10/10 info wise! You guys killed it! Both of these gents are very reachable and helpful.

10/10 info wise! You guys killed it!

Yay I’m the first to view. Love it!

What timing, I am currently seriously contemplating taking an offer for a position in Portland and trying to get a sense of the logistics of how to sell our house out of state and buy in/relocate to greater Portland . This is very useful information. Thank you for making this video and your other videos about the area. I truly appreciate it!

Thanks for the excellent presentation, Scott! This is, by far, the most comprehensive discussion of all the issues that buyers & sellers face when contemplating a move. Question: are you bound to a specific region in Maine, or are you able to personally represent buyers & sellers throughout the entire state? Thanks again for taking the time to create such valuable content.

Hurricanes is why I'm leaving Florida. And the Villages are taking over Florida. Heading to Northern Maine, my husband's home state. Not worried about the cold, lived in Germany, Oregon and Montana.

Never been snowshoeing but man sounds incredible

5 kids- legendary status achieved!

Really enjoy your videos Scott! Thanks and keep them coming. We live in SC but we head to Maine every chance we get. Love the culture and people there.

C'mon. It's winter, man (woman ) up. Get some of the right clothes, learn the how of layering, adapt to weather. Remember boys and girls, you can wear the right gear for cold, but with heat ..... We love the change. Unfortunately warming has meant LESS winter fun as well as lessened insulation for our Downeast place. P.S. We have no central heat or mini splits. The house is 100% heated with firewood in two (count 'em...2 ) EPA wood stoves filled with self harvested firewood from our woodlot. Where is it written that your house has to be at 75 F 24/7 ? Not a big deal to come down in mornings with temps in the 50s. Quick rekindling brings the place up to comfort within an hour. Not a big deal. Northern Europeans don't heat bedrooms, sleep with windows cracked under down comforters, as we do. JMNSHO
