It's great if you decide to move here, just know that we are a conservative region and we take pride in conservative values. Life is a little slower here and people are mostly kind to one another. If you want that kind of life, then come live WITH us, but don't try to change our way of life!
Amen! 100%!
Deal.🙏🏼
TN is getting more and more liberal every time we visit..
@@sboy1955 yes, I can't hear the bible thumping as much anymore.
And I would say that's why it's appealing to me. 😎
Thank you for actually talking about FL outrageous property taxes. If I lived there, I would be paying waaaaaaay more tax in total than I do in PA. But everyone likes to say FL has no state tax! Whatever.
The industry has driven home prices too high for most families. The solution is for prices to align with family budgets, even if it means a market correction. The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt.
Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, silver and digital currencies ETH, XRP..).
What if you don't know how to trade any of these? I mean, see your point some people have the money and are willing to invest, the question is where to.
@@Nicholas.DuranteIt’s very important to have access to updated info, in order to make a well informed decision on investment
Yes, you’re right 👏
bring in a few 100k more people and NE TN will be just as expensive as the once-inexpensive florida. 10 yrs ago, a 3/2 house in Palm Bay, FL was 140k. The same house is now 500k, the taxes are double, and the insurance is 400% higher. Look at the TN trend, it's unfortunately destined for the same.
Thats my hometown, Palm Bay. I agree to an large extent, the cost in PB is going nuts! If people could start getting together and start building the kind of homes people want and need, not mcmansions on 0.34 acre lots in hoas, things would be on a good track. Like, small homes on 2-5 acres. Allowing manufactured and farm animals. Finding home+land in PB is like $1 million home! Nobody has that kind of money. Was checking out Malabar/Valk. prices this weekend and trying not to spit out my coffee 😅
If anything, the area can learn from the Floridian mistakes. People are going to come in droves. But spreading people out in reasonable housing imo would alleviate a lot.
So true! My under 200k retirement house I bought in 2014 is now close to the 1m marker! Hollywood found us 😞
We left Boynton Beach in 2009 and moved to Raleigh NC to be near kids and grandkids. The Raleigh area is being exploited as the greatest place in the history of the world to move to and it's ruining the area. If we had it to do over, we would have stayed in Boynton Beach even though we know it's now far more expensive than when we left. Raleigh has gotten outrageous too and Raleigh NC is death compared to all of the things we did in S Florida and our grandkids are teens now that we hardly ever see. People who are moving based on prices or thinking emotionally and thinking they will be happier in NC. SC or TN than FL may end up very disappointed.
We lived in Tennessee and i was glad to get out of there, no work,most people dont have auto insurance,laid off every winter im glad im in Florida
Did you bring your Banjo to entertain the Florida foke?
Wait until a hurricane hits, and they cancle your home owner insurance, and you have never filed a claim on your home.
@@jeffsprague2967 Absolutely. Living in Florida is risky. Florida has become unaffordable. Insurance does not always pay on time; sometimes not at all if the insco goes broke due to massive claims. Where do you live if a cane or nado takes your home; and it takes months to years to rebuild. If you are not rich, you can always live in a campsite, trailer park, or vehicle if you still have one. Some have lost their shirts due to insurance paying less than property value or inscos going broke. Florida is best for rich people. Nice place to visit though.
Thank you for your honest reply, work is my greatest concern
@@ganymeade5151 I live here and I'm not rich. 22.7 million people live here. You have to work and it's no longer a great place to retire. Certainly middle class can live here 100% I'm retired at 55 yrs. old in Sarasota, Florida. It's a postcard, love it!
i live is south Florida and i just visited Kingsport TN in October . my favorite thing i noticed besides being very beautiful , everyone speaks English !
When you have an immigration system that favors a certain group of people that's what you get. Those people in south FL don't have to assimilate either because they are the majority now. Same thing in south Texas.
Don’t move here
Us natives of East Tennessee don't mind outsiders moving here to a degree. Just don't move here expecting us to change for you. You change and adapt to our ways. Also, don't bring your ideals and way of thinking with you that is giving you cause to move from where you live. We like how things are here. We want to preserve our landmarks, mountains, lakes, rivers, and our countryside. We do not want our beautiful landscapes ruined by condos, private estates, and the makings of subdivisions. We don't want your kind of change. We see what your ideal of change has done where your from.
I would say this to you, I don't give a rat's behind what you want. I moved here years ago not because I had ideals of where O last lived it was because I hated it & enjoy only the ideals of a red state & conservative people. I'll take up residence where I want because I'm an American & I own this country. If's some of y'all are getting tired of housing going up, subdivisions and all which I also hate then stop selling your land and being greedy!! I won't sell off none of my land even though I don't need it, it just ain't getting sold period. You say you don't like my kind of change, what the hell is that? I ain't here to change a dn thing but leave the way it is. Now let's talk preserving things like the beauty of things. This is the only state I've been to that out in the mountains and such that people throw crap out their car windows in ignorant bliss. I'm used to the illegal aliens doing that. If there is one thing I'd like to change is clamping down on the pugs that trash this landscape. I'm here, I'm staying whether you like me or not, didn't come here to please nobody. I'm voting Red, I don't like queers, tweekers, liberals or catholics so get over it. Nobody in their right mind that is from the left, enjoys the liberal luxuries of the left cities, gay parades or bugs is coming here to change things, it's in your mind that's all
I’m glad your making a living in Tennessee, but the world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows, all the agents overemphasizing moving to conservative areas are pricing out the locals that live here.
Florida at one time was cheap to live also and look what happened.
You are 100% correct my friend! Fifth generation Floridian here.... My 50k Florida home is now supposedly a multi-million dollar home. I cannot even afford to rent a studio apartment less than 1 mile away. It would be 250% of my take home pay. Luckily I can work remotely anywhere in the world with my job. This is why I moved to Western Kentucky 10 years ago. If Kentucky ever drops their state income tax, i'll become an actual resident. Having the ability to hunt deer from my kitchen window is always a nice plus as well. I looked into TN but their hunting regulations are insane.
Do you think these agents care about the locals quality of life? They are sell outs
@@bobbysmith5642how do you like Kentucky? How about schools and healthcare?
@@dawn2508 I never had children... no idea about schools. Never been to the doctor here..... always go when I am back in FLA.
Exactly. Same thing happened to Florida.
We moved here from Florida in 2016 and my only concern is the substandard medical care in this area thanks to Ballad health. I am a retired ICU nurse. Had we known in advance we probably would have chosen a different area. Still considering moving down towards Knoxville for access to better medical care.
Substandard medical care ? I live in Bradenton Florida and the doctors here suck there are no good doctors there might be one or two good doctors here but my doctors that I had when I lived in Nashville Tennessee with the best doctors by far compared to Florida
As a Florida native I’m so ready to bail. 10 more years. I have no idea where I will go but it won’t be Florida.
Florida Sux 2Hot
Me too…..headed out west and will never set foot in this swamp again!
Once they tell you it's a good deal, it's not. Like the stock market, when they tell you about a buying opportunity, that opportunity had already passed. Tennessee has become very overcrowded and expensive, especially based on income earnings. When based on earnings opportunities, it is one of the highest ratios (earning/cost of living) in the Country on par with New Jersey based on a recent report. Actually Kentucky is a better value at this time.
I don't understand this video. Florida's Home owners insurance are the same as Tennessee's, and their property taxes are only around 50.00 more per month. Am I missing something?
As someone actively searching Northeast TN after living in Tampa almost all my life, I can 100% agree with your assessment! I'm ready to get OUT OF HERE! :)
I’m heading TO Tampa!
@@powerxkx Welcome to Tampa. Now make sure you vote correctly!
What part of Tampa? I am also from Tampa. I lived in the Forest Hills area until I got transferred to North Georgia.. Cool!
@@bobbysmith5642 Sulphur Springs…
Ha! Hope your repuplican..@@powerxkx
One thing that is rarely considered when moving to a new area is healthcare. Since you are mostly talking about retirement in NE TN, you should include available healthcare in your presentation. Healthcare was something my parents didn't consider when they moved to Florida and the area they moved to lacked good healthcare. I'm talking about critical healthcare not primary care or clinics when you get a cold or the flu. What major, highly rated hospital is available in NE TN...?? Rehab facilities..?? Etc...
We have a video on our TH-cam channel, Where are the hospitals in NE Tennessee. It’s a pretty good overview of hospitals, etc.
Why would you want more people? More people just screw up a place.
@@LivinginJohnsonCityTennesseesell out
What part of Florida is that? Down here in SW FL, that is the largest employer. We have an insane amount of hospitals and healthcare facilities. I guess because this is where everyone moves to die. lol
Ballad healthcare is the current medical monopoly in northeast tn and they are horrible at best. Do some research first I doubt you will be impressed with what you find on the subject.
Yes. Florida is Closed. We are full. Enjoy the winter in Tennessee. Thank you
Thank you for watching our channel and taking the time to comment.
Here is what a website has to say about the avg temps in Johnson City, TN are: The warm season lasts for 3.9 months, from May 23 to September 20, with an average daily high temperature above 76°F. The hottest month of the year in Johnson City is July, with an average high of 84°F and low of 65°F.
The cold season lasts for 2.9 months, from December 1 to February 27, with an average daily high temperature below 53°F. The coldest month of the year in Johnson City is January, with an average low of 29°F and high of 45°F.
Sounds like perfection to me❤
I moved from New Jersey to North Carolina eastern North Carolina 10 years ago this is heaven on Earth never go back
There seems to be very few homes to buy in northeast Tennessee, and we have found it much more crowded with high traffic from Knoxville north
Have you spent time in Johnson City, Kingsport and Bristol?
Try the Monterey TN Area just I 40. HOME DEVELOPMENTS: Fairfield Glade TN or Cumberland Lakes TN
I've been checking the real estate websites and Tennessee looks even more ridiculously priced than Florida. Almost nothing shown for under $300,000. Guess I'll stay in Wisconsin.
We live in eastern NC and go to SE Tenn (Chattanooga area) regularly to visit our son and his family. We would love to find some land there and build a little place. We shop every time we visit but the prices are crazy high! It’s obvious to us that far too many folks bought up land a few years ago just to flip - which is fine - BUT - to expect to make 100-200% profit in that short of time is unrealistic. Nuts actually.
I've been thinking about moving from Florida to Tennessee. My 4 reasons 1. Homeowners Insurance 2. Auto Insurance 3. THE HEAT! 4. It's too crowded here now because of all the people that moved here in back three years. I have to get to Tennessee and have a look around.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. If you decide to visit please email and let me know. I would be happy to send you some driving tours with fun stops along the way. They will help you explore the area.
@@LivinginJohnsonCityTennessee Will do!!
Look at Monterey TN Area just I 40. HOME DEVELOPMENTS: Fairfield Glade TN or Cumberland Lakes TN
Don’t do it! Wait till Tennessee prices drop about 50% since they went up about 50% in the last three years. It’s only a matter of time before blows up. The weather in Tennessee is not great. If you’re looking for cooler temperatures, go to Georgia and still feel like you’re in Florida. I’m not saying that Georgia is an improvement over Florida, but much cheaper than Tennessee and much closer to Florida.
@@Jake-pq3iz people with money move to Florida because it is a safe Haven for their $12 million home. They figure if they get caught doing a scam, at least they don’t lose their home worth millions of dollars. It’s a total scam and that’s part of what’s causing Florida prices to skyrocket. It’s a safety net for millionaires and that’s how politicians want it. Florida is not a state for people with no money. You have to have deep pockets.
Great honest video, we are considering being reverse snowbirds to escape the heat of summer in FL to TN. Currently live on the space coast and since 1988 it has EXPLODED with double the population and driving to Orlando or Tamps, Miami has become atrocious! not to mention the non stop hurricanes. I love visiting TN to ride motorcycles and enjoy the Smokey's so we are considering just south of Knoxville honestly.
I really enjoy you video breaking the advantages of moving from Florida.
Thank you so much for encouraging a market and lifestyle in Northeast TN. Perhaps many who moved to Florida over the past few years will move to Northeast TN and Florida could become less crowded.
Yes please move from my Florida.
@@Patrick-yh5ydare you a native?
@@user-kk3qg5el1m 67 years in Lake Worth.
The price of homes here in.NE Tennessee have gone up $25,000 to $80,000 or more in the last year and a half.
She is inviting them to come ruin your way of life. Ask anyone in the carolinas
GREAT VIDEO THANKS. VERY NICE
Thank you!
They should all move to New York. They have cool rules and manage their economy wonderfully.
Lol😂
As a NY resident I can totally say that is a fact !!! 😅😅😅😅
As a 59 year resident I can say, lmfao,
And governor hochel has only made it 100x worse than it was. Congrats Hochel on being NY,s worst Governor!!!! If we move out of NYS it's going to be when she makes one more stupid law that's idiotic and insane.
Watching from Canada. Looks amazing compared to what we have here! Thanks for an awesome introduction!
On average, there are 201 sunny days per year in Johnson City and in Florida's the average is 237 days a year of sunshine. An extra 36 days (over a month) of sunshine is worth whatever the cost is to live in Florida. Sunshine is medicine.
AMEN! Today, Dec. 2, our highways 83. John City’s is 57. ‘Brrrrr! Nuff said?
Florida is best! Don't let them fool you.
Than move to AZ or CO where you get over 300 days of sunshine
Good to see you again Stephanie, miss you guys at CF. :)
We miss seeing you! Going to a church in Jonesborough.
TN is ok. But, SE Florida is absolutely amazing! No freezing, icy weather that we encounter in TN. Many more cultural events in Florida, extensive opportunities for healthcare vs TN, and one can be extremely active all year round. LOL The Fall colored leaves last 2 weeks. So, why not rent an airbnb for 2 weeks in a place with incredible Fall foliage, such as Vermont. Remember…. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
Both are beautiful places to live. Some people just prefer four seasons and mountains. Thank you so much for watching our TH-cam channel!
@@LivinginJohnsonCityTennessee I’ve lived in TN and I’ve lived throughout New England. The 4 seasons in TN are nothing compared to New England. Again, you get what you pay for.
You forgot to mention the car insurance crisis here in Florida, the car insurance rates are too expensive, even the monthly payments are out of control. I visited the Gatlinburg area and the smoky mountains and i love it.
I really like my job here in SWFL. I live in Cape Coral. The taxes are ridiculous here. Then there's the insurance. That is way over the top. So I have been looking for possibilities elsewhere. I am not interested in cold weather at all, but maybe able to deal with a couple months of it. But the heat here in SWFL is getting intolerable as I get older.
We do have 3 months of winter here in NE TN. Not as cold as the NE coast or Midwest. Check out our video about the weather. Thank you for commenting!
I’m in Cape Coral as well! Let’s chat?!
We have looked in SC. What advantage is in TN that is not in SC. We are in Florida and we are looking for options.
@@rblegend50SC has state income tax and Tennessee doesn’t.
Great Video! We tried Atlanta area 2008-2010 but hated the hills and muddy lake water, landed back in Martin County. Husband is an offshore guy, FL native, me 35 yrs (orig from NE) we both hate red clay and love to see the sky so the hills are no fun but so sick of the crowds and inflated cost of living in FL... did I mention the rising humidity?
Omg..yes!; our parents drug us from RI to FL as little kids. Always hated it. But as you form relationships and build a career, it is hard to up and move. Now in my 50s, the intolerable heat and humidity is getting even worse, not to mention the traffic! I am planning to move to TN within 2 years. I cannot wait.
@gypsygirl9999 We bought in NW SC on a huge lake, will build & learn pontoon boating :)
Good video. Sounds like a friendly area.
Sounds lonely.
A few years ago, I had heard the term "halfbacks". Those that move from a northern state to Florida, and end up, for one reason or another, moving halfway back to their original state. Thus moving to states such as the Carolinas, Georgia or Tennessee.
Add " Hemi " to yiur vocabulary. short for hemorrhoid. The good ones drop diwn for a couple if weeks...irritating.... But the real pain in the axx ones, drop down and never go bsck.
Good video, think you left out an important observation, compared to Florida, home prices are extremely reasonable.
"I'm thrilled that I stumbled upon your channel. I've decided to leave Florida, and the weather is my top priority. It's scorching hot outside today, and it's only May. I'm confident that I'm making the right choice.
I’m a Realtor in the Blackstone Valley area of Massachusetts, and you’ve sold me on N.E. Tennessee!
I lived on the Space Coast most of my life and on the ocean at Indian harbor beach for 25 years.
I finally got tired of the heat and humidity and moved to Blowing Rock NC area 18 months ago.
I’m in the mountains a few miles from the Tenn border and Johnson City is 45 min.
I prefer Boone and Blowing Rock and Banner Ell but each to their own.
Great video. One suggestion: You could probably turn the music down--or let it 'take a break' from time to time throughout the video
TN is FULLLLLL please stay where you are, the traffic, congestion, over priced real estate, it's nuts if you think you should move here now.
I have many friends in California that want to move to Tn.
We tried saying that about Florida but no one listened. They came anyway. Most are moving here to Fl from the northeast and midwest.
I also heard TN job market isn't the best unless you give to Nashville or other big city which defies the who point of moving 🤔
I left Johnson City and moved back to Sarasota, Florida after two long years of living there. I have to say, you cannot beat the beauty of Florida it's a gorgeous state, it looks like a postcard it's so beautiful.
I’ve laughed at some TH-camrs who complain about the traffic in Johnson City. Driving here is a dream compared to Tampa
Johnson City? WOW..... My fathers side of the family were all from Johnson City... My Uncle owned a restaurant there, my Grandfather was a Baptist Preacher there... Gosh, the last time I was in town, I was installing a filling line for a water company there.. Small world.
I live in St. Cloud fi. And the traffic has triple in last few years.
ServilleVille TN my favorite place to live, it has lots of attractions and Gatlinburg and the Smokeys are close by.
Traffic has to be a deal breaker though right? Pigeon Forge is crazy busy. Gatlinburg too. Do you all have a coupon book there for local businesses? Not the tourist crap, but restaurants, auto repair. hair salons, services etc? Just curious.
🦋 🦋
I’m not trading my FL beaches for 4 seasons…. I wear flip flops all year long and I’m loving it.
🙄
FL is very nice to visit in winter. 😊
Agree. But some of us who've been here a long time but moved around can't afford the housing costs any more 😢
I’m from Miami originally, but I’ve lived in North Georgia since 1989. I love the mild seasons, however I live within the city limits so my property taxes are $7,300.00 a year.
❤
So your house its worth at least 730,000
@@crystalgarcia2143 According to the tax assessor it is. According to Zillow it’s worth significantly less.
Floridians are not just moving to NE Tennessee, but also SE Tennessee. I sold my home - a 4149 sq.ft homes built in 2002 on 12.5 acres in Bradley county, TN - a bedroom community of Chattanooga to a wonderful family from Fort Lauderdale.
Tennessee is really nice and ❤❤❤ the people is awesome!!
Well Minnesota this year will be lucky if there is any snow. 45 degrees and raining on Christmas day.
Are you talking about the treasure coast? All I see is more people moving to the metro Port Saint Lucie area. Property prices are higher in TN. Add heating costs in Winter and A?C in summer....
Love that I 95 corridor. 😊
TENNESSEE IS THE PLACE 2 -B. IM IN MEMPHIS TN AND I LOVE THIS AREA .... EVERYBODY'S MOVING 2 TENNESSEE!!!!
Good idea❤
There's a youtuber who talks about this on his channel and other states too. he used to live in Northern Illinois,
and he's living in Miami florida. People moving out of Florida cause of the Home Insurance, and so much more.
Cost of living sky high in florida, HOA, etccccc.
Tennessee is beautiful. I live at the beach in North Carolina, and would love to have a vacation home in Tennessee.
I was 6 years old when my divorced mother moved us from Buffalo in 1953 the Las Olas Islands in Ft. Lauderdale. We moved to Plantation in 1958 when my mother remarried and I still live in house they bought then. I lived off and on in Plantation. During this time, I have watched Ft. Lauderdale go from a sleepy town upset only by Spring Break to major high rises in the downtown area between Rt. 1 and Andrews Blvd. While I am retaining our Plantation home as a snow bird, I will be moving to NE Tenn looking at Mountain City in the Appalachian Mountain foothills. Except for Cost of Living, I share the other three reasons for my looking at Tenn. after I retire in a couple of years. I just worry that Tenn is filling up like Florida.
In that region, some people call them "Halfbacks". They moved from up north to Florida - didn't like it - and moved halfway back.
Micheal Bordenero? Great channel! He makes sense!
Number one reason people move from Florida to Tennessee…..They are not FROM Florida. Easy come, easy go.
Actually two of my neighbours born and raised here in Florida moved last year to Tennessee ,also two just moved to the Georgia-Florida border,and three to Ohio.These are Floridians not snowbirds.
I would move from Ft. Lauderdale too. We live in North East Florida., it's heaven... I never had any neighbor or friend move in the last 10 years!. I looked up stat's. the numbers leaving are basically leaving due to cost.. They thought Florida would be cheap.. Why would paradise be cheap? We have the best beaches, 325 days of sun. no traffic here in NE FL. amazing people, mainly from other parts of FL., Georgia and Mid west. South Florida is no longer livable .. In Tenn. you can sit on your porch and rot. No Beach, 25" snow a year, average winter temp. 30 degrees.
What about hurricanes in NE Fla?
If you do not like the beach move. Of Course North Florida makes more sense. Tenn. is good if you want to be near NOTHING!!!!!
Amen to that!!
I lived in ft Lauderdale too.
TN is gorgeous but it snows!😊
Life long Tampa resident that always wanted to retire in this part of the country. My job asked me to transfer to Johnson City and im on the way. I'll be renting at first until I get the lay of the land then buying. Most likely in the country. I love home but like you said, it's not home anymore. And what an opportunity! So no, im not retired yet but just like Florida, every weekend is a vacation! See you soon and will be in touch 🍻
Very exciting! Thank you for watching our TH-cam channel and commenting. You know where to find us when you are ready to start your search for your TN home!
I live in NE Tennessee. It is not cheap at all now to buy a house here since videos like this showed up, and most that are affordable are quite old and poorly constructed. It is quite hot in summer and pretty cold in the winter. I have to mow my lawn twice a week at least for about 7 months. The people are mostly friendly and polite. Note that this is a REALTOR video.
I live in central FL for now, but am relocating to the NE FL Jax suburbs.
Mainly for quality or life reasons, metro Orlando and Tampa are basically growing together and central Florida now has around 10M people (alone).
Like much of FL, east TN (and middle) is becoming pricy overall when it comes to real estate. Especially Nashville and Knoxville in that order.
A common theme of both states is no state income tax - I hear it all the time down here.
Voting: Don't sweat it. Much of Tennessee's FL residents will share many/most of your values.
I am in Central FL too, I left S FL 9 years ago and.......many followed. Looking for a better place, too. Miss being closer to the ocean.
14 years ago I moved from Tennessee to Florida, now wish i could move back but my partner refuses to move.
But is there any cap in the annual property tax increases like we have if homesteaded in FL? My home is worth about $1M now but my property taxes are only about $3500 because I’ve been here since 2001. They can only increase 3% a year. If only we had that protection on HO Insurance - that is another story. Also you didn’t mention how high the sales taxes are in TN - they are really high.
Excelente video: Me encantan esas informaciones de Tennessee: Yo nací en una montaña caribeña llamada La Cordillera Central en La Vega, Rep.
Dominicana. Considero que Tennessee no es tan caliente como Florida y las estaaciones del año de dusfrutan mejor. Muchas gracias por sus informaciones.

Do you really think that if advertise this area that it won’t turn into Knoxville or Nashville…..more population means more infrastructure…means Higher Taxes!
You convinced me!. I'm moving to Florida!😁😁
lol! As I said, I lived in Florida for 15 years and there were many things I did love about living there. Depending what you are looking for, Florida could be the perfect place for you to call home. Thank you for watching our TH-cam channel and taking the time to comment.
Frank currently in Tarpon Springs Fl. I thought when you pulled up a listing and went to expenses the taxes and Insurance is what the home is currently, and most homes are at least double or tripled in value. So how do you truly get the true estimate. Coming up in May to look around for a home to get wway from this heat during the summer. Want to be on Lake Cherokee or Douglas Lake. Thank You and Happy and Safe Holidays.
The insurance and taxes are current. Why do you think they are not?
My parents and grandparents were snowbirds to Florida for many years. I had dreamed of retiring to Florida. I have a brother living in the Orlando area. Our daughter and her husband lived in Lakeland FL for awhile, until SIL's employer moved him to Atlanta, GA. Dear Wife no longer desires to move to Florida, when we retire. One of the reasons being the hurricanes.
We have gotten accustomed to the burbs northwest of Atlanta AND the countryside from Chattanooga TN up to just north of Knoxville TN. During our many trips between PA and Atlanta, we've been checking out the NW Georgia and Eastern TN communities. Who knows where we may decide to retire to. Time will tell.
Thank you for watching our TH-cam channel and commenting. Wish you the best of luck wherever you decide to call home next.
They have a property discount in property taxes for seniors like some countries in Florida?
great video! we moved from eastern Washington state to Texas. now we are moving half way back. we miss fall and just want some solitude. Dallas's over population just drives me nuts.
Thank you. We have worked with many buyers moving from Texas. The traffic is wearing them out!!
I just looked at houses in both states and their home owners insurance is the same. I compared property taxes too, and Florida's was only around 50.00 per month more. So I don't get it. ?
You can shop at Publix in Johnson City! There's that.
Living up north right now and I miss Publix. Shopping really was a pleasure!
Currently trying to leave NW FL, possibly moving to Huntsville (very close to Tennessee) if hubby gets a job offer! Praying it’s a go 😊 I completely agree about the weather, I love fall and a change in seasons. We lived in Ft. Laud for many years as well and the endless heat was so exhausting!! We are now in NW Fla, (by the AL border) which is much cooler in winter and changes throughout the seasons, but I still want a more pronounced fall and winter that you can get in Northern AL 😊
Those who are sick of Florida are going to move to Tennessee, Georgia and the Carolinas and those places are going to become the new Floridas until people get sick and tired of those states 😅
As a Florida resident; this is the most expensive state I ever lived in!
You have to pay to live in Paradise.
Freeeeedooooooommm...
I love Florida.
My Fl property taxes just payed. Market value according to tax office was 1.5m ,a 300k increase from previous yr. Amount paid to county was $ 2,522 ( less than last yr!). Yes, property insurance is expensive but thanks to Gov Desantis property values have increased dramatically during his administration. Local newspaper just mentioned ~250 homes in our town priced over 5m!! But it is very hot here.
Only $2500 for a 1.5M home?
That's cheap. My TX house is worth 500K and my taxes this year were just over 3K, which is down significantly from $4300 last year because of an October statewide election that passed overwhelmingly to increase the homestead exemption an additional 100K. Seniors have the option to make 4 equal payments thru out the year without penalty if they choose. Our homeowner's insurance has skyrocketed, but from what I hear, Florida's is outrageous.
I live here as well. All those 1-5 million homes are crap shitboxes worth about 400k in other states. If you are NOT ON the water (and even then) your house is either 60 years old and beat to shit or a new build that isn't built well. The housing in almost the entire state is a bad joke.
Yeah thanks Zionist boy DeSantis for raising all of the houses to levels only the top 1% of the world can afford. Oh and thanks to all the greedy flippers who jacked up our rents out of control. Yeah......
@@1969bones69 You speak the truth. My 30k (1982 purchased) house is supposedly now a 2-3 million dollar home according to some slimeball realtor that keeps calling me to sell it. These people paying these prices are insane. It doesn't make sense to ever sell it because then I would have to spend the same amount for another tiny crap box located in a worse location.
I am from Hickory Nc, same easiness here. Formerly Orlando fl
I will stay in florida, I hate the cold, I guess I am a wuss!! I would rather sweat than freeze! I do miss the hills and mountains, here in florida the closest you get to going over a mountain or a hill is going over a bridge!
Well, you could live in Florida and vacation in Tennessee😊 Thanks for watching our TH-cam channel and taking the time to comment.
So, Tennessee don't have storm? snow? running days? Tornado? Bears around? Can you go outside year around like in Florida? I chose Florida 1 million %
I prefer Hallandale beach Florida beautiful city good beaches and restaurants and growing businesses and communities, and good night life.❤
sad that people have to move from their beloved cities to rural sleepy towns due to stupid governments
I agree
NC insurance cost went up 500.00 this year.
FL population is actually reported at over 22 million. When I moved to FL in 1989 it was 11 million and........ AFFORDABLE.
I love my hometown of Morristown,Tennessee.
i bet it's not only home insurance that's cheaper than FL. Car ins is more expensive in FL
Im also in FL area and thingking about geting second getaway house for my family. What would be closest airport to you to fly from FL?

I'm moving to Johnson City, Tennessee in the next 2 months or so. I have family that lives in Johnson City, I'm looking forward to experiencing the season changing of Tennessee. I presently live in California, and also and looking forward to being with more of my family's members.
Congratulations on your upcoming move! Thank you for watching our TH-cam channel and taking the time to comment. I’m sure your family is looking forward to having you live near them.
The California invaders have caused the locals cost of living to skyrocket. You are not welcome
I would love to live in NE TN.
Wow! Don’t bring your Liberal California views
I’m also a transplant from California but please leave California driving and all of the ugly from California there. It’s very conservative and God fearing here. We moved here for that. Also, welcome.
