Who would want to live in Seattle? 

Love your videos when you show the data 📈 and the facts, time and effort is needed to understand, interpret and learn from those numbers. Keep up the great work!

Don’t listen to the haters!! Interesting the remark from the tech bro saying they won’t pay that price it was the tech industry that inflated the prices to begin with 🙃 I think you offer a valuable service and are completely transparent about navigating what can be a tricky industry 😊

The average RU-vid commenter has no idea what they’re talking about. The median (not mean, median) income in Seattle is almost $130k/yr. Washington has no state income tax and very low property taxes compared to other states. Seattle proper is a real city, not a giant suburb like the majority of American “cities”, located in a naturally beautiful part of the county. House prices reflect all of this.

Thanks for the informative video! Would you mind detailing what the process was like when you purchased your first home and how you made it happen. Thanks!

One of the first things I learned researching relocation options is... You get what you pay for. Sure you can get a cheaper home in the Midwest or south, and even cheaper in the rural areas of those regions. But. What is the economy like there? How will climate change impact the area? How are cold the winters? How are hot/humid are the summers? What is the tax burden in the area? How much is home insurance (can you FIND home insurance)? Will you have to fix up the home? Is it in a walkable area? How car dependent is it? How far away is the nearest hospital? How long would it take to get a first responder out to your location? How diverse or welcoming is the area (even more important if POC or LGBT)? Does the statue government support women's reproductive rights? So sure you could just over simplify and just look purely at the dollar value. But all these questions are baked into that price to some extent (or will in the near future).
