I worked at a power generation facility for San Francisco city, at least a couple came down with leukemia.

Thanks for sharing your story. I was watching your previous SW Washington channel thinking I might retire over there. Now glad I didn't. I'm from North Idaho and currently living in SE Washington. Perhaps I'll move back to North Idaho in a couple years. Hayden is beautiful.

I used to watch your SW Washington channel.

Confused, I was just going to start my home construction. Now what should I do?

I appreciate that you researched this and explained it in a way that is clear and easy to understand! I am currently designing a multi-family home on a lot next to some overhead power lines. Since I have never ran into this before I was very interested to learn how this will affect the future residents that will live in this home. Thank you and I hope you continue with videos like this! You're doing great :)

I live in St Maries and love it. Live right out side of town. People are friendly. Love driving the dirt roads. Home we paid $350,000 but the view is beautiful and don’t have neighbors to close. Love the shops Shift and Grind is a great place to get coffee with great service. Grub Boy is wonderful and love Harvest Foods. So beautiful here.

Bonus features: 1 - You might get a Justin Bieber sighting! (for real, he shows up all the time) 2 - Dating your sister is socially acceptable!

You spell the town and lake Coeur D' Alene

Why do so many people, including locals, call St. Maries, St. Mary's. Are the public schools really that bad?

Another infomercial by the real estate nemesis of society. Sorry, but bullshit is bullshit.

I just realized that daycare costs more than private school in this area. How crazy is that?

Wonderful

All of these schools are Christian/Catholic. The nearest secular school is Sandpoint.

$785k for this? People have lost their damn minds thinking this is the new normal. Wait until the next economic crash which is a question of when not if.

Stop with your carpetbagging

Hi from Croatia, you are very gorgeous and sweet! ;)

Harrison ends at the end of the O'Gara road... Where we had a permanent houseboat. Where we'd jig 4 Crappies , troll 4 Bluebacks , and later in our Hi-School years... PARTY 🍻 🍺 🍻

I WAS THERE. Its very beautiful and peaceful. The people there are kind, moralistic and sweet, like the PEOPLE ON the Andy Griffith show. He was real. His town was real. MAYBERRY WAS THE STAGE NAME BUT THE REAL NAME IS Mount Airy....North Carolina. ST. MARIES reminds me of Mayberry. They have cool antique shops. Its like traveling back in time to the 1950s. Such a joy in this crazy world.

Nice job

Lived in the Vancouver wa area and as beautiful as the area is there is just something crazy special about north Idaho views.

Idaho hates you stay in California

Very helpful!

You seem like a really nice girl. I might even consider using you as a buyers agent. I can also understand you have bills to pay but lets be honest. The market is crashing. After the election if we have one the market will fall hard. I know you know this. I think the CDA area is very nice. I plan on moving there just after the crash. I will buy at the bottom just like the smart buyers did in 2012 - 13. The only difference is this next crash will be way worse than 2008. There were blocks and blocks of foreclosed homes all over the CDA area. It will be the same this time only worse. You would have to be nuts to buy a home right now. If you were dumb enough to take out a mortgage right now you will end up loosing value and going under water. Your trapped. The home now owns you instead of you owning the home. The worst possible position you could be in. What a terrible way to start your CDA experiance. I get it. You need the commission. Anyway I like you. If your still a realtor after the dust settles in the next 18 months or so I will call you to help write a deal for me on a firesale foreclosure. Thanks for the nice videos in the meantime.

If you have no idea what's happening in the housing market. Maybe you shouldn't be talking about it. You should find something else to do because the housing prices will be cut in half pretty soon . All the numbers you're being fed are lies and are totally incorrect. The entire economy, banking and financial system are on the verge of meltdown. You're giving people bad advice and I would not be buying right now. Anything you see on mainstream media and financial channels are lying about everything. All the numbers are lies. There's Tens of millions of houses in foreclosure that you're not seeing because they're not reported. You're missing a lot of REAL information, and you should check out someone like the economic ninja. There's hundreds of people out there where you can learn to FIND the real information. A crystal ball is not what we use to determine our economy, financial system or housing market. These are all things we have data about and you can use this to your advantage to know what the markets are going to do. Like right now you should be educating yourself and your subscribers on how to buy foreclosures and distressed properties. And wait

What about the scenario of home prices decreasing?

Don’t see the link to the 12 listed existing homes you mentioned.

But your a realtor,,, I get it😢

Just a thought, what if home crashes, just dropped from 600k to,,,, 400k. Exactly

Looking forward to the new series focusing on individual towns.

fuck

They have enough. Stop paying taxes

Overpriced and where are you going to work to support this $2400+ per month mortgage? Lose a job and your toast. These cracker jack homes should be no more than $200k. You know they are overpriced, just come out and say it.

Anybody here remember "St. Maries Auto Freight??"

whooo. big eyes

Paying rent on the land is one of the planks of the Communist manifesto.

You speak so fastttttt

The best way is to honestead timbered land...(Hire someone you trust to assess the viability)

Lived there for about 20 years back in the 1970s and 80s. Some family still lives there. I visit occasionally. First of all, St. Maries is a logging town. Logging and processing timber is what made the area and is still very important to the local economy. You'll see signs 'This business supports Logging' on many of the town's businesses, so if you're opposed to the lumber industry, I don't suggest moving there. The only decent full time employment is at the Potlatch saw and plywood mill. ALL of the routes in and out of town are narrow, winding, two lane roads. They can get interesting with the logging and chip trucks. Winters can be brutal for those not used to rough winter weather. The roads can be treacherous. In winter or spring, the St. Joe and St. Maries Rivers can flood the valley. The town itself is fine, but the routes north through Rose Lake and south through Emida or Fernwood are cut off. Town entertainment - wise, there isn't any unless you like bars and drinking. I don't know if the bowling alley on 10th Street is still open. To actually go to a movie theater you have to drive to Spokane (65 miles away) or Cour d'Alene (52 miles. There is also the casino outside of Worley, which is about 28 miles away. It's a place where people have to prove they fit in. People who think they are going to change things don't make it there. The area is beautiful and it is an outdoorsman's paradise, but living there takes a certain type of person.

Daum houses are absolute trash. The lots are not properly graded for drainage: I have a lake every time it rains and it’s my own issue. The house foundation is wobbly and creaks/cracks/pops regardless of where you are in the house. Floor boards are separating from the wall. Ventilation ducts are falling off of vents underneath the house. Paint is chipping for no reason on interior walls. Save your money and find something better. Viking homes tend to be a little more well built as it takes their contractors 4-6 months to finish a build. With Daum it takes two months tops. When these issues were brought up to Bill himself, the excuse is it’s not his fault, it’s the sun contractors. Absolutely zero accountability. Don’t support these thieves!!!

Will not buy near power lines. Its a big fat, no way.

Let’s all move there!

The streets need repair. the city council can not be trusted. the Gas price and food are to high. Heyburn park is crap. The only good thing about St Maries is, there are no traffic lights when you pass through. Wages are low. There is a lack of jobs. Land prices are to high.

Lived there 20 years. It's all private land now gated off. Your left with a pit. It takes 45+min to get anywhere. Your garnet mine if open is by appointment and only for a few hours. The "water sports" are trying to dodge all the speeding boats and kids on jet skies. After moving away it took a while to figure out what was missing....... the largest mosquitoes you have ever seen they sound like humming birds buzzing you. But spend the big money so life residents can move away!

I liked your information. Just curious though.. EPA have discovered that much of Kootenai Cty has high Radon Levels, this includes Dalton Gardons, Idaho. EPA also recommends that Americans consider fixing their home for radon levels between 2 pCi/L and 4 pCi/L. The percentage of tests measuring over 3.9 pCi/L in much of Kootenai County is over 50%. This is scary; if you do not fix up your homes, test for radon in your homes, you could develop cancer within 8 yrs plus or less. Radon causes lung cancer. This Gem State is loaded with Uranium and we are sitting on it. I just found this out in the last 2 years. Do you know anything about this. If you build a home, it's important to have a reduction through filters, etc. Many people here think it's not true but it is. Even apartments need this reduction system. Basements are the worst place as the gases come up threw the soil into the home etc. etc. Just wondering if you know anything about this for Kootenai Cty. I really don't know if I want to continue living here. LOL unless I have a Radon Reduction System.

I couldn’t watch the whole thing, even though you were providing good information. Girl, you just talk too fast. I couldn’t keep up.

👍🏻

I am interested in waterfront and this area seems nice! How does the developer change the plans and build residential? There is zoning and building permits with all this! The pilings and boat docks should have been taken care of at the beginning! So, my biggest concern is will the area be residential or public docks? And are there restaurants in the plans?

Idaho born, lived 60 years, but I've been afraid to take any of my boats to north Idaho ! Because I know I'd never leave .

Funny you mentioned JBLM, it's a nightmare at times. The highway can become like a parking lot and there's always some... person who causes an accident and you're just stuck.

Great video whether someone is familiar with home buying or not. Financial education needs to be pushed in schools so our children have a basis of what they will face as adults. Home purchase is the largest and most important expense of your lifetime. Keep up the GREAT videos!
