Your houses cost far too much. And you cannot be single, aged 59, to afford a place. You must be RICH to live there.How’s the diversity? lol

Excellent story. God bless you, yours, and your Dad.

Thank you!

Next year come see ys the Queens Court....we are "in the woods" ....right next to Random Acts of Cookies....the yard with the Sword in the Stone!! We would love to see you!

A slice of Corvallis history...fascinating!

I am so impressed with all of the thought, knowledge and hard work that went in to creating this wonderful property! It is heavenly!

I enjoyed the video so much and felt very nostalgic seeing many places that I used to know in town. Hope to move back there some day.

Looks like great fun! Can't wait!

Phil Liggett still commentates on the Tour de France for ITV and NBC Sports.

Another awesome video from Michael and crew showcasing yet more reasons to love the Willamette Valley. Thanks for providing so much great information and suggesting so many neat places to visit. Especially appreciate all the aerial drone footage. And so glad that carnivorous forests are not a thing!

I'm currently thinking about possibly moving to Corvallis area. However let me be bluntly honest. Honesty IS the best policy. Even when it stings a little. I feel that the gentleman who made this video is biased being he is a local realtor. So of course he benefits from people moving there and possibly going through him for housing. That being said, I wish there was a no thrills unbiased tell it like it truly is report of the area. I have found more in the comments section of those who have or are living there. The train blasting its horn is one concern, as well as gray skies for 9 months out of the year, is a lot to consider. I suppose I could get used to those things. However... The PRICE of rentals are UNREAL!!!... $ 1,200-$1,550. for a nice clean safe apartment!!!? I currently pay half that for a two bedroom apartment here in eastern Arizona. I'm just completely tired of the HEAT here for 5+ months out of the year. Too hot to get out and want to do anything. The housing/rentals prices is what is a major concern/downer for me, in Corvallis.

Great info. Ty!

I remember years ago overhearing one person who had moved to Corvallis from Utah telling another person who had just made the same move “you’re going to want to die in the winter, but you’ll get used to it”.

I had thought of moving to Oregon and spent last winter in Corvallis. I rarely saw the sun and it became depressing. You can't spend much time outdoors in the winter because it's always raining and the trails are muddy. Corvallis is a small town. The population is mostly white. If you are from a big city the cultural scene is limited with no major venues for music, theater, or dance. The restaurant choices are also limited if you are used to a wider variety. I think Corvallis would be good for raising a family or going to OSU but if you want a wide variety of culture and diversity, Portland or Eugene is much better. (But not the climate.). Speaking of which, because of climate change, the summers are becoming much hotter and there are many days in the 80's and 90's. So, I decided not to move to Corvallis or Oregon.

Thanks internet dad.

It is very expensive to live here.

It makes a big difference if you choose a clear day for this drive. No smoke, no valley haze, no overcast. To the west you can see the Newport bridge and the sun reflecting off the Pacific. To the east you can see the major Cascade peaks from Rainier down to Diamond and maybe Thielsen.

Before you buy a house here make sure you spend a winter here. It is rainy most of the winter with little full sun.

Seriously? The kady in the video is so annoying I had to stop watching. Her fake laugh like Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop is so fake and annoying it ruins whole video. Kick her to the curb on future videos.

You should try to have Tesla Chargers installed.

Michael, my family and I just relocated here. Your videos and a zoom meeting we had with you helped us make an informed decision. We have been here for almost a week now, and watching this video is helping us gain our bearings. Thank you so much.

I love your videos! Planning a move to the area next spring. I’m finding your driving tours very helpful. Thank you so much!

There should be a word or two said about the apocalyptic homeless problem here, likely related to the stratospheric rents and housing shortages.

Hey Michael and Noel, enjoyed the ride. Will move on out a handful of years so keep the area ready for me. 😁 All the best.

This video is all about raising your property values and running out you and all your neighbors, and, of course, raising your rents beyond anything even remotely economically feasible. These are the people ruining your neighborhoods and raising your rents.

Hey Everyone, these are the people ruining your neighborhoods and raising your rents

Really cool video! Until, of course, finding out that you're realtors contributing to every single problem in the Portland metro area. Where'd you get the burritos? No doubt the product of some of those immigrants affecting your property values. Tasty though! Guacamole looks oh so yummy!

Thanks

Beautiful property.

Great video 🤩🤩🤩

I love Corvallis! I have biked here for years until health issues happened. One of my favorite transportation channels is "Not Just Bikes". Seeing how the absolute best in the world have created systems that benefits all modes, has taught me that we can be even better.

Went to visit my aunt in Philomath, just a few months ago. Loved it, nice community, would love to live there :)

Interesting. In Illinois a broker is also the same as a real estate agent. Managing broker has the right to manage brokers and/or run a real estate office. A Principal Managing broker manages all the offices in the entire state of Illinois for a brand, that is what I do.

Great video! Tyvm! I had no idea there were so many vineyards in the area. I'm surprised you didn't mention Knudsen Vineyards in the Dundee area, the origin of Erath & Knudsen wines which I thought were the 'most' popular Oregon wines. Also, Tina's restaurant in Dundee is 5-star... The owner is a wine sommelier who formerly worked at Erath. Cheers!

What a great review of the local wineries. I have lived in the Willamette Valley most my life and some of these places I was not aware of. Time for a winery tour.

Just got my Fear no Rain sticker. Can't wait until I can transfer out that way!

Stoked for what's to come!

amazing filming

Cool!

Thanks for the info Michael. Corvallis is a great place to live all year round! Ear

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:43 🏠 In a seller's market, be prepared to offer more than the listed price due to multiple competing offers. 01:54 💰 Consider offering higher earnest money or non-refundable deposits to display commitment and confidence to the seller. 02:50 🏦 Plan to cover your own closing costs in a strong seller's market, as asking the seller to cover these costs might weaken your offer. 03:32 🔍 Consider waiving the home inspection or significantly shortening the inspection time frame to make your offer more competitive. 04:58 💵 Prepare to bridge potential appraisal gaps in your offer to compete with cash buyers by offering to cover the difference if the appraisal falls short. 05:55 🗓️ Be flexible with the closing date and consider offering the sellers free occupancy after closing to make your offer more appealing. 07:05 📝 Avoid asking for appliances not included in the sale, as it might weaken your offer in a competitive market. 08:03 📄 Write a brief, positive, and non-negotiating letter or video to the sellers expressing your appreciation for the home to accompany your offer. 09:02 🏛️ Use a reputable local lender to strengthen your offer in comparison to offers backed by online lending companies in a competitive market.

Interested in possibly moving to Corvallis from Lewes, DE in 1 1/2 years. My daughter is also interested in loving within the same timeframe with her family.

E.coast...

I'm enjoying the Driving Tours playlist. These first three have been really informative. Looking forward to more. If you're bored, the original 1.5hr video is 2 years old now. Would love a 4K updated version. :) Cheers.

so excited to move where its more cloudy and rainy, california is killing me slowly
