Clickbait. It’s a small town. There’s not much to do. There might be drugs, it looks outdated. Really?

Not fair to have property owners pay only the taxes

The boogie woogie man is not real dude. And a river in basically the same place for thousands of years is not going to be erodeding your property away at a foot a year. Nor could you even tell the property was erodeding away that fast. Fast being a relative term. One foot in one year is pretty slow, and you could never tell it was that much just by going and looking the property over a few times over a couple weeks.

There a link for donations?

I’ve been debating this also. Another great thing I’d like to know is where is a place in AK that has some decent dry days, I despise the rain & would help of a somewhat dry area.

Well done! Well said!

Sorry Alaska is full, but I hear California is nice

Number 1 is such a good reason. Everytime my wife and I go down to the lower 48 to visit family, we are reminded how much better we like living up here. When you say prices are catching up to the lower 48, do you think Alaska prices are getting cheaper? Or that costs down there are rising faster?

Shipped items all over the world with no issues. What makes Alaska different?

Im looking to move there in about a year and half from now maybe 2

Jamin, me and my wife flew up to Anchorage last Thursday. We have been in Wasilla, Palmer and Homer so far. We liked Wasilla and Palmer, but the Kenai peninsula is really interesting to us. Drive for 1-2 hours snd nothing but natural beauty. I will be looking for a job here every day until I find one. Rural Alaska brings about a peace of mind you can't find in the lower 48 rat race. We're on a mission to get here permanently.

Your #1 is our #1, spot on, " Have you seen the lower 48? " This is not the Florida I grew up in. As a 5th Gen Floridian, I am sick of the traffic, the urge of developer's to concrete everything green over, and as I have got older the heat and humidity is something I am done with. Plus, My beach body left the building many years ago..... P.S. oh, and our HOA sucks!!!

You are so on point Jamin with the seasons changing, industries of tourism, fishing, transportation. In addition to the quietness that is golden and rare. So many places to go to work out and see incredible scenes of nature. Slower and quieter communities providing less stress that could actually save someone's life. Lastly, the adventure Alaska provides. Imagine riding down a snowy and wooded path on your snowmobile when the sun just set? I cannot wait!

Nailed it.

My hubby and I are planning to make the move. Covid and inflation have delayed us a bit. Husband thinks we need $500K in savings to pull it off and retire early. We are currently living in Washington state and despite trying very hard, I can’t find a better house in our price range here than the house we’re already in. We could pay more for something less than but where’s the fun in that? And I definitely don’t want to stay in this house. Washington’s cost of living isn’t much different than what I see in Alaska and you can’t throw a rock without hitting a tweaker in this town and crime and homelessness are rampant here as well. I want a smaller house with a fair price, peace & quiet, an acre or two, plenty of snow, lots of wildlife and some hot cocoa. I’m hoping I can find all that in Alaska.

I have been researching moving there and I will do that in 12 months. I would like your opinion as I have narrowed it down to two places. Kenia or Homer. Would like your take on these two locations if you will.

Not in 22 yrs have I felt like I did in Alaska, I'm not sure words can describe how I felt. I actually kissed the ground when I left, swearing to return to this land I thought was made for a person like me. See you soon ..

I wouldn't mind moving to Alaska to get further from East Palestine Ohio, those forever chemicals, are something else.

Because Alaska is awesome.

Solid, thanks for sharing!

Just moved to Kenai, thanks for all your insights! Your channel is excellent! Thanks for what you do! Sometime I’d love to connect at an event or something :)

Eagle River > Everywhere else in Alaska. Thanks for the update!!

Great trends for buyers! The background music made it even more exciting!

Good video however the background music creeped up and became a little too loud. 👍👍

So awesome I’m planning on living in anchorage

Enjoy these videos very helpful. My family and I are looking at the Wasilla/palmer area. All this info is helping us prepare and make a good decision. I’m wondering what is the best way to move your belongings to Alaska from the east coast? Would a moving pod be a smarter option? Or would driving a U-Haul all that way be better? We also have 3 vehicles.

So when my family moved to Juneau Alaska I was already working up there so my wife had to drive through the Yukon in her third trimester of pregnancy with My mom and a dog. 😅

I’ve been loving your videos. My husband and I are planning to move to Alaska in a few years 🙏🏻 We both love the cold, snow, cozy weather and quiet environment. Can’t wait! :)

Plz adjust your mic. The volume is so low that when your outro plays, its a blast of noise.

Relocation guide please

Anchorage new mayor is the exact reason why we need your brother in the Alaska State Senate!

Great information on the tax disclosure 👍👍

I am new to your channel and l absolutely love how informative it is. Would you be kind to make a video talking more about fishing rules. Im not sure if l understood that 25 salmon rule. Is it a yearly thing? Is it possible to buy it cheap from fishermen? Im Polish in NYC considering moving to Alaska. Im missing the snow ❄️ and super cold weather

While you did mention the large seasonal “homeless” population of Anchorage, you failed to mention the newly elected liberal mayor, the socialist city council, rampant drug use, and the runaway crime rate. Those things are important, and they’re only going to get worse. Sent from Eagle River Alaska.

Perfect timing! I will be up in Anchorage later this summer to get a better feel for the place. About 7 days total. I plan to drive around the various communities, check out the "day to day" living aspects of the places, and do a few touristy things while I am there. Then I'll go up to Eagle River, Wasilla, and Palmer just to see what they are like. I saw a comment on Reddit about Anchorage and that was that it is easy to get to Alaska from Anchorage! Wondering if the new mayor will make any significant changes for the problems that confront the city. Thanks for all the good information, Jamin!

I don't think fit is the question, affordability is the question. Anchorage homes are expensive. I notice that cost per square foot is high in Alaska. Less home for almost the same cost of Salt Lake City prices.

These are extremely helpful videos. Keep up the good work!

I was in EMS 13+ years! It's always good to have an EMS pack loaded with supplies. 😊 and knowing how and when to use them! 😉 This was a cool video. Lol

A duplex near us sold for almost 600k a few months ago. It has 3 bedroom units and finished way better than construction grade. A view lot across the road sold for 60k last summer. We have a lot next to that but it’s over 2 acres.

What is the best web site to see available homes and property in the Palmer/Wasilla area?

What type of loan is typical for land buying?

I know I have job skills for the Fairbanks and Anchorage area. Fairbanks extreme cold, Anchorage is a large city, more people, higher cost of living. I am more interested in the Kenai, Soldotna, Homer, Anchor Point area. Small towns, less people, but unfortunately less job opportunities. What is the best source of information for jobs in the Kenai, Homer, Saldotna area?

If I ever get the opportunity to move to Alaska, I'm not coming back to the lower 48, ever again.

Don't buy a house that has bears squatting in it. You don't want to have to evict an illegal tenant that will murder you.

This is a good one for me in weather comparison. We like in Kansas and are wanting to move to Alaska.

We are thinking of moving to Alaska in 2 years. Thanks for the info. 👍

You are so informational. Thank you so much. Right now we are trying to gather as much information as we can about moving. 😊 Also, you seem to be really looking out for your buyers.

It is a beautiful place to visit but the people were not very friendly or sociable.
