I am ready for something new. I am so tired of california. Unfortunately, it has change and not for good. We have already considered florida, Georgia but I don’t like the humidity and weather my husband is from Florida and not wanting to go back. We love the outdoors and we are considering Idaho. I am looking for a conservative state and that is very important for us as a family.
Smart move. Trading CA for FL is not a good trade because of hurricanes, unbearable humidity, reptiles, roads, and bad drivers. Trading CA for ID, however, is a positive one, where you'll gain outdoor life, lower crime and homelessness, lower taxes and cost of living--all major factors. We traded CA life for WY and are happy with our choice.
Idaho does not offer significantly lower home prices!! I have been traveling to Idaho for over five years and looking at properties while I’m there. The prices are not far off from California. In fact, Idaho is the most expensive Red State to live in outside of parts of Montana and Jackson Wyoming. I get frustrated sometimes when realtors don’t give the honesty about Idaho. It’s NOT cheap, has some of the lowest wages in the country, medical is not great, Boise is turning into a metropolis with houses and condos being built everywhere so close to each other, and Middle Class is being pushed out more and more. The truth is you’re paying nearly California prices and not getting an ocean or good weather. I would highly suggest people to look into Missouri or Arkansas. Very underrated places that are SO much cheaper than Idaho and pay way better wages and just as beautiful as Idaho, if not more!!
This is not true. I get why you're saying this though. Average home price in California that is not in a ghetto area is around 750-900k. Average home price in Idaho: 400-500k. That's a 400-500k price difference. The idea that you think that home prices are similar to California your information is wrong.
@@FlowersInAlaska the man in this video is saying that home prices are significantly lower compared to California. Significantly lower home prices would be…Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Mississippi, Kentucky, South Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arkansas, West Virginia…NOT Idaho!!! Idaho is one of the most expensive states to live in right now. He should not have used the work “significantly” to describe home prices in Idaho. He was being deceptive to his viewers and I was merely pointing that out.
@@FlowersInAlaska by the way, 400k does not get you a nice house in Idaho, but it would get you a gorgeous home in Oklahoma or any of the states I mentioned above.
OP is correct. My Central Valley CA home is a 2500 sq ft 5/3 and worth about $450K. Same house 90 miles away could be $2 mil. It really depends where, in the huge state of CA, you live.
My main motivation to moving to Idaho is it's one of the states that are 2nd Amendment and gun friendly. Not only they have legislations that protects your right to keep & bear arms but it's part of Idaho culture. If you're a gun enthusiasts like me. Idaho is the place to be. I can't wait...
Are you aware that there are many other states in the US that are just as gun friendly as Idaho but don’t have the high cost of living with some of the lowest wages in the country as Idaho does?
@jamieku513 I figured I'd be in region where im closer to family and friends as well. Its the only state thats 2A friendly that close.I'm heading to ID in a couple months to check it out first. But thanks for the heads up.
@@jlac2box Idaho is a great state and I’m not trying to discourage your move. I have lived and been all over the US. I see that Idaho is very popular with Californians and sometimes they don’t even consider other places that might actually fit them better. I lived in Southwest Missouri for 8 years before California and I can tell you that is an absolutely gorgeous area, super cheap, high wages, beautiful homes, gun friendly, Conservative, and people are much friendlier than Idaho. Northwest Arkansas is very underrated and absolutely stunning. The Dakotas are nice too. I grew up in Kansas, it is also very nice, just very flat with lots of wind.
think it also depends on what your doing. Like in my case i moved to california about 6 years ago but my parents are both making 6 figures so as a family we haven't had an issue in terms of housing. For context my dad is a doctor and he's making around 230k a year and my mum is a lawyer and she make around 150k a year so money isnt really and issue however i know for lower income families it might be tough. I feel like california has more amenities and if you have the money and are wealthy enough to live in a good neighbourhood then you should feel fine.
I would choose outside of Phoenix area. Boise is turning into a mess. I also live in San Diego and have been traveling to Boise for over five years. It’s just not what it use to be. Prices are higher than Phoenix and wages are significantly lower. Opportunity is not great in Boise.
I love Idaho. The people are friendly and it’s beautiful. But I don’t feel like it’s conservative in the traditional sense. Idaho is a little more radical in the sense that they think government should make healthcare choices for women, regulate what books are available in the library, etc. So that part sucks. I believe in smaller government, but Idaho seems really involved in making decisions for people. So that’s the part I struggle with.
I get that you feed your family from real estate but publishing a commercial to bring Californian's to Idaho who will only end up destroying why people came there. If you don't think so ask Oregon and Washington. This is taking it too far IMO.
Blame the politicians and DAs not the people. Every country has this problem where people move... yes it's common. But if politicians get greedy and don't care about crime and won't spend money on prisoners and police then blame them, not real estate.
"Pursuing happiness" is woven into the American experience. Relocating in 2024 to a better place is completely American. Telling people to stay out, is the opposite.

@@jamieku513 What? You don't think 400k-500k doesn't constitute as significantly lower home prices? That's an insane amount of money you're saving.

We left CA because of taxes, crime, homeless, and politics. These factors were enough for us to leave friends and family behind.
GREETINGS FROM PALM SPRINGS CALIFORNIA CRAIG 🌴🌄🌴
We all know why Blue state Blues 🇨🇳
Woke gentrification begans 😢
My fiancé and I love your videos :) we are currently renting in San Diego and are looking to buy a home next year in maybe Boise area or Phoenix area.
I would choose outside of Phoenix area. Boise is turning into a mess. I also live in San Diego and have been traveling to Boise for over five years. It’s just not what it use to be. Prices are higher than Phoenix and wages are significantly lower. Opportunity is not great in Boise.
I moved out of SD to North Idaho 😊 I can afford life now 😅
I will be there next year for my new career. I will be looking in Kuna.
I love Idaho. The people are friendly and it’s beautiful. But I don’t feel like it’s conservative in the traditional sense.
