Moving to Savannah in 2016 for work was the best decisions I ever made. I fell in love with the city, the great people here, and the work opportunities (covid withstanding) were life changing. It does get a little warm in the summer but I don't mind it. The only downside I can think of is the pesky sand gnats! Ha. Thank you for a great video Karin!
I lived in GA twice as a kid . Once in Hinesville and the second time in Savannah. I’d fallen in love with Savannah and know that’s where I’ll want to settle down one day
I just moved to Savannah last week from Duluth, MN. Trust me, the brutal winters and fearing for my life while driving will NOT be missed! Although, since I am a transplant the humidity right now is awful and keeping me from going outdoors too much, however I do plan to spend the "cooler" months doing a lot more exploring! 💖😎
Right?!?! I learned to drive in the snow in Michigan. I spent more time in ditches than I did on the road, I swear. Yeah, the humidity right now is killing us but hopefully in another six weeks it'll be better.
@@georgiacoasthomes Yes and my birthday is in October so it'll be a perfect time to celebrate, and I honestly cannot wait for Halloween! Also, my first day here I had to try the shrimp and grits and it was amazing! 😋😋
Idk if I'm ready to move from the frigid North to the sweltering South just yet, but I wanted to comment that I appreciate your hammy & humorous video. I've watched a ton of these types of vids to research various locations, and most of them are really repetitive & impersonal, so thanks for actually being engaging.
Im from the midwest. I’ve been very fortunate to live in the south due to being in the military. Im currently still serving, 15 years now. All my duty stations has been in the south and I don’t miss the north one bit. Nothing beats southern hospitality and sweet tea.
The market here in Savannah is very unpleasant for buyers right now. Demand far outweighs supply and most decent homes in the lower price ranges go under contract instantly, often with multiple offers. I’ve been looking for six months and still have not found “my place”. 🥵 I’m looking in the midtown/east side areas, so maybe it’s easier out in the suburbs. I do love it here in Savannah. Best wishes to everyone.
It really depends on your price range. In the first time buyer price range yes, it's pretty competitive. And yep, you're looking in a pretty hot area. Patience is a virtue! And is there anything you bring to teh table that's really strong besides price?
I just " discovered " your videos and Savannah was recommend to me by a co-worker who is ex-Army. My wife and I may have to visit Savannah sometime next year. We will definitely check out the food as you suggested and the the ambiance of the whole place, as we are nearing retirement. Thanks for making all your videos Ms. Karin Carr.
Moved to Savh in 94 while downtown was boarded up. I watched it prosper firsthand and loved working downtown. Moved away in 2008. I cannot stand going back now. The traffic is too much for me.
@@wolfrus1809 we moved a little further down the coast in Ga in 2021 ahead of our original plans noted here. Wanted more land and less city / suburban life. No snow and I haven't donned a winter coat since! I love the heat! I have to head up to Ohio next week, ironically, and I am praying not to see any of the white stuff in my travels!
Omg Karin you are a riot! Love it ! And I’ve said this more than once ( in my mind and to my husband lol ) ... if we choose to move out of NY we know where we are going and who we are going to call :)
Hi, Ms. Carr Love watching your videos on Living In Savannah and What Savannah is like to live In. I just have one quick question what are The winters like in Savannah?
Got a job down there. A little concerned as a lower income individual. Apartments are around 200-300 more a month than in the north where I'm at. It's worth it, but it's going to be a sacrifice.
Our rental market here is really hot so I’m not surprised that it’s a bit more than what you’re used to. Hopefully the lack of shoveling snow makes up for it though. 😁
I just subscribed to your Channel. I plan on moving south within the next 4 to 5 years when I retire. Florida is high on my radar, but I am open to other locations with no snow, lower cost of living and lower property taxes than suburban Chicago where I have lived for many years. Looking forward to more videos.
@@georgiacoasthomes Do you need another team member? My son and I are leaving Los Angeles and moving to Savannah this summer! I have been a luxury property Realtor here for the last 5 years! I would love to talk with you!!
Strange question - how accessible are physicians, specialists, vets, etc. I've lived in NM for 18 months and have been unable to see a physician. Ridiculous. Thanks
You have a nice voice. Happy you are enjoying living in my home state. I have been working overseas for many years but plan to return home soon. Thank you for the info and will be looking to get a home in that area in the near future. I will be contacting your office for assistance. Just warn the folks about the gnats...lol
You've convinced that I do want to move to the Savannah area. I'd like to speak with someone about selling my home here in Atlanta and relocating to most likely Rincon or Pooler
Hello, my wife and I are looking to possibly relocate to Savannah in the next few years.we would be looking for a 3 bedroom condo as close to the water as possible, but we are flexible. We would be coming to visit very soon... any thoughts.. Thank you Doug
Thank you for this video. I'm originally from Chicago, but live in Atlanta. Atlanta is an okay city, but Savannah seems like more of a place I would live
I thought I would love big cities but I truly prefer smaller cities. I like having things to do, but the traffic? Not so much. And the beach is a huge bonus for me.
I am considering moving to Savannah in three years when my daughter graduates from high school, I have lived in norther CA for 53 years and I am SOOOOO done. The cost and culture is a living nightmare. I honestly don't know how I am going make it another three years here but I don't want to uproot my daughter. ARGH. Am saving up money for a trip to Savannah to see if it's indeed going to be my new homw someday. Great video and you have a new subscriber!
Thank you for watching! We moved our kids a lot and it wasn’t easy for them so I hear you on waiting till she graduates. I hope you’ll love it here! When you come to visit stay in the historic district or out at the beach. You’ll love it! It’s sooooo different from NorCal in the architecture, the trees and plants, the air. I love it!
Yes! Definitely staying in the historic district or beach! I was pricing out airfare and airbnb's yesterday. I am SO excited to visit probably this Fall. :)@@georgiacoasthomes
@StarlightPrincess70 fall is a wonderful time because the temperature is much nicer than July, and August, which are truly hot. The only downside is that is tropical storm/hurricane season. If you go after Halloween, you’ll probably be in the clear. Today it’s in the 60s but next week it’s supposed to be down in the 20s and 30s. It’s going to be cold! January and February are usually the coldest months, July and August are usually the hardest. The rest are lovely, temperature wise. Have fun!
@@georgiacoasthomes Thanks so much for answering. How far in advance should I start looking? 2 to 3 months? I’ll be moving from another state into Savannah. I’ll start looking as early as allowable. Does your office handle rentals or only buying housesp
Your videos are great!! We live in Placer County near Sacramento and are thinking of moving East. We're mid 50s and our youngest will be in college next year. Are there retirement communities with folks our age? Thanks for your help!
As a French living in France, Savannah would be one of my top-5 cities to go live in. Unfortunately, it seems so difficult for a foreigner to set in the US I guess I will never have this chance :/
Lol. We have alligators AND water moccasins (cottomouths), rattlesnakes, etc. Alligators show up in the ponds/lagoons in my neighborhood every now and then. I am not that far from the Ogeechee River.

Wow, thank you! I appreciate that so much.
I’m from Philly, now living in California, I’m thinking of Georgia too!
It looks like I’m taking your same path!
I was never in Philly but Pittsburgh is close enough! Where in Georgia?
WE JUST DECIDED TO MOVE THERE IN 3 MONTHS.AND YOUR VIDS MAKE EVERY DECISION EASY
Oh my gosh, you just made my day. Thank you so much!!! We love helping our clients move here and find the right home. I hope you love it too!

150 weeks until I'm done with Ohio winters and ready for Savannah!
Not that you're counting or anything. Love this, Jennifer! Come on down!
How did you like it? I live in Ohio now and I’m considering moving up there

Donna Iannacchino come on down any time! 🥰
We are wondering if houses in Savannah have garages? It seems like most of the properties I’m seeing on Zillow only have car ports.
Some do and some don't....
Its easy to ad a carport if you have space
Hi, Ms. Carr Love watching your videos on Living In Savannah and What Savannah is like to live In. I just have one quick question what are The winters like in Savannah?
We usually are in the 40’s and 50’s during the day. Occasionally it gets down into the 30’s but overall it’s chilly but not insanely cold.
Got a job down there. A little concerned as a lower income individual. Apartments are around 200-300 more a month than in the north where I'm at. It's worth it, but it's going to be a sacrifice.
Our rental market here is really hot so I’m not surprised that it’s a bit more than what you’re used to. Hopefully the lack of shoveling snow makes up for it though. 😁
Apts in the north are not 200-300/ week.
You are hilarious and love love your straight up honesty!! I'm from Eastern WA and researching places to run away to for good
Come on down, you’ll love it here!
I’m in west WA, and SAME!

Check out southern Mississippi, Biloxi/Ocean Springs Area it's beautiful and under the radar.
Georgia is more affordable than Florida. And has larger lots
Awesome!!!!! Can hear all the bugs and looking for snakes in that pond behind you 🤣🤣
There are snakes in there for sure so I do NOT go in that water. Ever!
@@georgiacoasthomes Do you need another team member? My son and I are leaving Los Angeles and moving to Savannah this summer! I have been a luxury property Realtor here for the last 5 years! I would love to talk with you!!
If you have a lot of thunderstorms, do you also get a lot of hail and hail damage?
This video makes me want to move especially during the winter!
It’s pretty great to have Thanksgiving dinner on the back porch!
That little sense of humour is wow!

How’s the rental market? I don’t want to commit to buying right now.
It's very competitive and rates are increasing quickly. Not impossible but you may have to search for a while before you find something.
@@georgiacoasthomes Thanks so much for answering. How far in advance should I start looking? 2 to 3 months? I’ll be moving from another state into Savannah. I’ll start looking as early as allowable. Does your office handle rentals or only buying housesp

Our family maybe moving to savannah from Wisconsin. We have never lived anywhere but wisconsin so trying to figure out area's and pro's and con's
It will be the polar opposite climate-wise. If you need help with anything just email us at karin@georgiacoasthomes.com.
@@georgiacoasthomes thank you. We are hoping by the end of the week to know for sure what God has in store for us moving.
Really enjoy your style! Fun video.

I used to live in Solano County! Hubby was at Travis AFB and Placer Title was our title company by the office. I did love it there!
I live around the same area you do, and used to live in NC. I would just say get ready for the humidity, flat, and bugs. lol.
You are so funny 😂
Thanks!
I absolutely love this video! It makes me want to pack up and move there...🤣
Hahaha, thanks! You just liked the crack about moonshine, didn't you?
@@georgiacoasthomes 🤣 I totally did... I am not gonna lie...🤣
You really dont want to
What are some great school districts in savannah I’m thinking of moving there
Not Savannah-Chatham, go to Bryan of Effingham counties.
What neighborhood are you filming at in this video?
This was in Blandford Crossing in Rincon.
I must say, I have really enjoyed your videos :)
I’m so glad, thank you!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love it! ❤️
Nice pipes 👍
Can I please ask, where is the relocation guide...?
Hi Jay! georgiacoasthomes.com/reloguide/
Is the salary lower too?
Your so funny!!! I love it.

Thanks so much! Glad you like my goofy personality. ;)
You are a hoot. Thanks
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Your a trip. I love it. 😀
Thanks Maria!
🥰
You are hilarious! Love your videos. I want to buy house just to cruise around with you.

Check out P J’s Thai across from colonial park cemetery. And get the fried salmon salad
I love Thai food but haven’t been there yet. It’s on my list now. Thanks Robert!
@@georgiacoasthomes the lime juice dressing is what makes it. And they have dog parking outside
First ! Fun
No alligators?
Oh yes, there are plenty but not in the ocean and I don't swim in the ponds for that reason.
What a cutie
Boating and fishing ? I mean you guys have freakin crocodiles.
Not usually in the Atlantic Ocean
Lol. We have alligators AND water moccasins (cottomouths), rattlesnakes, etc. Alligators show up in the ponds/lagoons in my neighborhood every now and then. I am not that far from the Ogeechee River.
I’m more than capable of driving 70mph in the snow.
No, you are not! Don't set a bad example, Tommy. 🤣
That's what they all say until they highly regret it later 😂😂
Is Savannah gay friendly?
