After living in Washington state for some time now, I can say you definitely DO NOT want to move to Tacoma unless being around violent crime and poverty is your thing.
Asking a real estate agent whether you should buy a home right now is like to asking an alcoholic whether they think you should have a drink lol. Homes in my neighborhood that cost around $450k in sales in 2019 are now going for $800 to $950k. Every seller in my neighborhood is currently making a $350k profit. Simply unreal. In all honesty, deflation is what we require. The only other option is for many people to go bankrupt, which would also be bad for the economy. That is the only way to return to normal.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; its best to offset some of your real estate investments and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets
Personally, I can connect to that. When I began working with "Julie Anne Hoover," a fiduciary financial counsellor, my advantages were certain. In these circumstances, I would always advise getting professional help so they can steer you through choppy markets and just give you indicators and strategies for knowing when to enter and exit the market.
@@theresahv Interesting. I am on her page now doing my due diligence. She seems proficient. I wrote her an email and scheduled a phone call. How long do you think it will take before she replies?
Bridgeport? I nearly lost my breakfast when I watched this. Terrible schools and very high taxes. Yes, the train will take you to NYC and to NY Yankee games and you can take a ferry to Port Jefferson, but there is high crime and most people who live in surrounding towns are afraid to go there.
If a news segment is doing a list of best cities, there are other motives at play. Either they just picked stuff randomly, or they are trying to rehabilitate places by tricking people to move there.
@@brianwhite1189 AND the horrible politics PLUS Hurricanes, Tornados, Floods, Hail, Snow , Ice Storms, Power grid failures, torrential downpours and horrendous heat. Um NO THANK YOU to Texas!
I lived in Raleigh. Not much there. No culture, not much to do. Great greenway system throughout town. That’s about it. People hang with their own type, and pollen/allergies are the worst I have ever experienced.
i dont think golf courses and the ballet is what the average person in this country is looking for. i would consider this fake news or news for the rich.
I don’t know why they always talk about the urban places. I lived in Tokyo, Miami, and Chicago. I would never live in a big city again I live in a nice town with only 1500 people and it’s great.
uh...b/c you lived in 3 major cities. *duh*. you wouldn't be living in that 1500 person town were it not for the money and experience you made/gained whilst working in the big cities!!!!
Bridgeport CT is BS. Super boring place, crime, not great food, bed bugs etc etc. I lived there for more than 5 years and couldn't live anymore. I was living on the border of Bridgeport and Fairfield. Core Bridgeport is crazy.
Yeah she said one of the worst towns to live in CT. That’s like her saying Providence is the place to live in RI but that’s only if you can afford to live near downtown. The rest of the city is a sh*thole lol
Sarasota is a really pretty and clean city. I just visited recently for the first time. It was cute. It will now be ruined by telling the secret that it’s a nice city!
It's been known for awhile though. I bought a place there 8 years ago but have been living in my wife's country of origin so I only visit Sarasota. It's already grown quite a bit since maybe 5 years ago? Our association manager said that a lot of part time residents also just went f/t in Sarasota due to the ability to WFH.
I live in Tacoma. It’s the pits AND it’s expensive. Literally one of the unsafest cities in Washington. But the scenery is beautiful and so that’s a win.
Sarasota takes an hour to get 10 min drive. Have to be at Siesta beach at 7am to get a parking spot. It's been ruined by over developed greed. Low wages, high insurance, homes expensive.
I love living here in Sarasota!!! I don't care about the traffic this city has extremely nice people and everyone is so nice. However I like people and get along with people! Born and raised here in paradise, Sarasota :)
Sarasota is nice. Raleigh alright. I can name a few other cities in NC I'd rather live. Tacoma and Bridgeport weather most of the year is not good . Texas is just a dump.
What a horrible list. I can understand not everyone will agree on lists like these, but it’s like they picked the actual WORST options per state. None of these are good suggestions, and a ton of the benefits she claimed the cities had were just outright false.
Everything is fine and dandy in florida when you get your home insurance bill, lol and you realize you cant do anything outside for about 6 months out of the year because its so hot outside.
Same with FL now but add in sky-high insurance rates along with it. Even a medium sized home, away from the beach will cost you $5k+ a year in insurance.
We lived in Raleigh for 4 years and LOVED IT! We left and went north to Boston chasing excitment and northern exposure. It was a disappointing disaster! We missed Raleigh dearly!
A simple study of the map would have prevented that stupid decision. Have fun in new england with the liberal snobs and brutal winters and high taxes lol
They have no idea how horrible and ghetto Round Rock is. I currently live here. There’s absolutely nothing special about it. And I dunno what parks that lady is talking about. Only a few worth going to. Toll freeways everywhere. Cost of living is rising. Decent 2 bedroom apartment will run you $1800 and average electricity between $250-$350/month. It’s HOT here! There’s nothing to do and the closest mall sucks. Drivers make up their own rules and the police don’t care…. Round Rock, TX 🤷🏼♀️ okay 😂
I’m from Texas have lived in Houston the last 17 years… trust me y’all I love Texas but now too many people are moving here and it’s really hot during the summer.. like unliveable! We’re selling our home and ol going somewhere where it’s not 98 degrees at 9pm…and as for Seattle in rains waaaaAy too much there and u also have a constant threat of earthquakes.. yes it’s beautiful but I’m not too sure.. NC Raleigh sounds good, and Connecticut, but my money would probably be on Vermont if I was on the north east coast…
There's a line in an Eagles song....can't remember the title...."you call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye." That's what I think of when I hear these lists.
You don't mention which city, but if you mean Tacoma I'm with you. Love the greenery, flowers and lush gardens and forests. Forget the hot and dry places.
@@markpreston6930Boeing hq is in Arlington, Virginia now, not Chicago. And the planes are built in Seattle and Everett, easily reachable by train from Tacoma.

@MRKW213 and that's why the quality of living is so high... seems like places where people want to move are becoming unaffordable, crime ridden and dirty. Hidden gems in the Midwest have some of the highest quality of living in the country, des Moines, Ann arbor, Omaha, green bay, Madison etc
@@aaronkamakaze2967 yeah I understand that but no one's trying to live in Iowa when they can live in vegas for example thats probably same prices of housing costs not to mention entertainment
I live here. It will be new at first but then you’ll hate it. Don’t waste your time. It’s hot most of the time until all of a sudden it’s cold and then hot again. Definitely bipolar weather. Cost of living has dramatically increased. Utilities are quite expensive as well.
Have been visiting Sarasota for 30 years. It's still a nice town - with lots to do - but it's getting ruined by all the attention it's getting for having 'the best beach in America' or for being one of the 'top 5 booming cities in America'. Beaches are way overcrowded, traffic can be unbearable, housing costs are getting absurd. I think it had a lot more charm when it was a quiet, laidback beach community, mostly visited by retirees.
I definitely agree on Raleigh! Very beautiful and the people are polite, nice, educated and hospitable. Tacoma would be second. Sarasota is overrated. The other two, I need to visit.
Agree with Round Rock, I currently live in Austin and ppl that I know that live in round rock like it a lot. Close to downtown Austin if you want a night out UT is there as well, Agree. They also have the Domain which is a cool spot near Round rock. 💯
Round rock?? You’re crazy. Sure you could get an affordable home (and maybe still can) and be 30 minutes drive from Austin but there’s nothing in round rock except monotonous suburbs
Lived in CT my entire life, we refer to Bridgeport as the armpit of Connecticut. The pictures, video's shown are cherry picked places, most of Bridgeport does not look like that. Bridgeport has a crime rate that is higher than 79% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes. If you're some kind of business venture perhaps it could be attractive, but wouldn't recommend moving there especially if you have kids, it's a slummy town - been there a million times in my life for one reason or another, and each time always made sure I was out by dark - not kidding.
Tacoma are you joking??? I live here, its complete trash! Homeless everywhere, garbage and drug needles everywhere, high crime and no police protection! I've lived here most of my life and what it was is not what it is now!
Tacoma is a sewer dump they call it the aroma of tacoma, also if you commute from Tacoma it would take you 2 hours of gridlock to get to redmond or seattle I love Raleigh, would never go back to that dark cloudy sadness
I would bet no one in any of these places would feel safe leaving there home without locking there doors or going to any store and leaving the car unlocked windows down and it running or never having to worry about your kids going out to play or forget your wallet and have people around you offer to pay without hesitation if the store doesn't just let you take your items and trust you to come by and pay when you get a chance suffer a fire or another disaster and without having to even ask have people who you barely know if at all offer you a place to stay or just a bunch of people showing up with tools and materials and start to help rebuild for nothing more than a thank you all in a area with the only police are at least 45 minutes away and only patrol 2 to 3 days a month a place where you never see trash on the roads and if you ever have any car troubles you can pretty much guarantee that the next car to come by will stop and offer help? Might sound too good to be true but that's daily life where I live
Well, none of these aren't secrets anymore. The locals in those cities better prepare for higher prices. People will swoop in out pay locals from other states.
Raleigh, NC; Bridgeport, CT; Tacoma, WA; Sarasota, FL; Round Rock, TX. I've saved you 5 minutes.
Thank you

It's still a nice town - with lots to do - but it's getting ruined by all the attention it's getting for having 'the best beach in America' or for being one of the 'top 5 booming cities in America'. Beaches are way overcrowded, traffic can be unbearable, housing costs are getting absurd. I think it had a lot more charm when it was a quiet, laidback beach community, mostly visited by retirees.
Everything in capitalist society gets ruined. Enjoy while you can.

Tacoma wa lol
That’s what I’m saying! Tacoma is GHETTO
I'll pass......
Tacoma is a sewer dump they call it the aroma of tacoma, also if you commute from Tacoma it would take you 2 hours of gridlock to get to redmond or seattle I love Raleigh, would never go back to that dark cloudy sadness
If there is no good public transportation there, I definitely would not move there
I would bet no one in any of these places would feel safe leaving there home without locking there doors or going to any store and leaving the car unlocked windows down and it running or never having to worry about your kids going out to play or forget your wallet and have people around you offer to pay without hesitation if the store doesn't just let you take your items and trust you to come by and pay when you get a chance suffer a fire or another disaster and without having to even ask have people who you barely know if at all offer you a place to stay or just a bunch of people showing up with tools and materials and start to help rebuild for nothing more than a thank you all in a area with the only police are at least 45 minutes away and only patrol 2 to 3 days a month a place where you never see trash on the roads and if you ever have any car troubles you can pretty much guarantee that the next car to come by will stop and offer help?
Might sound too good to be true but that's daily life where I live
Tacoma is fairly dangerous, at least by PNW standards. I don't trust this list at all now.
your list seems to be places that are getting destroyed by weather, the whole east coast should be off limits. florida...really? you should be fired.
Round Rock is just Austin Metro on the North Side. It's a suburb.
Well, none of these aren't secrets anymore. The locals in those cities better prepare for higher prices. People will swoop in out pay locals from other states.
This entire video makes these places sound boring .
