lol, I live in Michigan, all of your complaints are hilarious. Chattanooga sounds fine to me.
Tennessee has mild weather. Kinda hot summers but not like Texas or the southwest, and winters are mild, sub zero temps are rare. One of the few advantages of living in the south.
your weather riff was ridiculous. we do have rainy Decembers, but winter is quite pleasant. Go to Illinois in winter for gray and gloomy... we have more sunny days than not.
People who move here and just complain should move.
We're moving to TN this summer after my military retirement, we have it narrowed down to like 6 areas, in Chattanooga, specifically Hixson/Middle Valley and Soddy Daisy, those three fit the the search criteria...what would be your choice out of those three for Chattanooga? We're also interested in three places by Knoxville. Great video man.
chattanooga is amazing but you are not ready for it
Thanks for the info Evan!
Thanks for this video 😊 I’m hoping to visit soon 🔜
You're comment about the gloomy weather has me rofl! I currently live in the 2nd most gloomy city in the US. Anchorage Alaska is the only city that is considered more gloomy. I would love to only have gloomy days 1/3 of the winter! We can go weeks without seeing the sun during the winter. I'd love to live where it wasn't so gloomy all winter.
Brutal! At least you make up for it in summer haha. I worked in Alaska for a summer a few years back and remember seeing sunsets/sunrises at 4 am. But yes, dark winters can be tough!
@@livinginchattanoogatn actually no. There are plenty of cloudy days during the summer 🙄
Question for you - the rain in the Chattanooga area. Are they like real raindrops or a fine mist like here in OR? I was watching another video and he said something about it being a sprinkle.
@@tashahardesty2773 it's more misty/sprinkle during winter. In spring and summer when it rains, it's a downpour
@@tashahardesty2773 It definitely rains here. We have over 52 inches a year with an average of 122 rainy days. There's a good reason everything is so green.
This is why I'm not in a rush to buy a house. I'm not fully ready for the long term commitment especially when I'm more a traveling type. I rather move every year or 2 if I could.
Are you talking Minnesota cold, Minnesota style winters?
I love gray gloom. Lol❤
We have the best paragliding and hang-gliding east of the Mississippi.
Please research your comment about “most” houses having basements or crawl spaces. While many of the older homes and those built in hilly communities have these, most of the new communities that are sprawling out at a rapid pace are built on slabs. Anyone concerned about the ever-increasing amount of tornadoes in this area might be limited to looking at older homes or fixer-uppers for that reason (or just know that you’ll be headed to that inner first-floor bathroom for shelter!). And for those of us living here for any amount of time, we’ve also seen such a rapid increase in housing prices due to the influx of people that native young people are feeling the pinch, like everywhere else, of not being able to purchase their first home at a price that they used to think was a “steal” compared to other parts of the country.
Winter is grey & gloomy? Try living in Britain. LOL
Hay me and my husband are trying to relocate to Chattanooga but we're having a hard time finding a house to rent is there a way to contact you
You guys don’t test for Radon before you close escrow?
It's up to the buyer if they want to test. I always recommend they do if the home has a basement
How does the coat of living compared to Orlando fl? Thanks
Orlando is about 20% more expensive overall. When it comes to housing, it's 63.5% more expensive to purchase in Orlando
@Living in Chattanooga thank you so much. Once I'm finished with school, I'm planning on moving to Tennessee. I will definitely keep y9u in mind.
Can someone me how the golf courses are?
Some of the best in TN are here in Chattanooga
You should have told them about the suck traffic we have here! AWFUL!
You wouldn't last 5 minutes in Seattle if you don't like clouds. I spent 23 years there but was born, raised and returned to Spokane Wa. I've been all over the states and as far as Japan. Seattle is still the beat major city I been or lived in. 😊
Yeah he wouldn't make it here in WA 😂
What about the automotive scene ?? Car shows etc.
Plenty of car shows. We have Chattanooga Motorcar Festival every year. It's huge. We also have the blue ridge parkway in our backyard which is one of the most fun and beautiful roads to drive on. Many car enthusiasts like myself here in Chattanooga
@@livinginchattanoogatn thats good to know . I will be going your way in early April .
@@Oldcarnut63 contact me if you're wanting to make a home purchase 423 248 2101
Local car shows in the area all the time and mecum auction ...and the rod run not far away in.pigeon forge 2 times a year....pretty big car culture around here
@@mikecross4350 that's great . how is the summers their is it super humid ??
Should I be worried about gators in the water? I’m from Ohio where we don’t have to worry about that stuff
no gators here
Worst thing in water around here is water moccasins but can't really remember the last time I heard about anyone getting bit by one.
No but we have snakes
Gloomy about 60% to 70% of the time in winter which is 3 months long if you can't handle that ..move
Yeah I'm from the UK, the main weather is cloudy and dull so this sounds exciting lol
@@TheLaydeechan so you would tolerate 9 months of great and 3 months of gloomy winter?
Please go back to your town and take 4 million more with u that have come south
lol Chattanooga is home
YOU ARE IN THE SOUTH... DUH
It's kinda hilarious that, as a licensed realtor, you didn't think to get a radon test when your bought your home. Stopped listening at that point because, as a random dude that doesn't sell houses for a living, I got a radon test on my house purchase because of a competent realtor.
I was not a licensed realtor when I bought my home, and no realtors were part of the transaction. I had to figure a lot of this stuff out on my own. Because of that experience and the many other clients I’ve helped buy and sell homes, I now know what to look for
Born and raised in Chattanooga - in East Chattanooga went to Kirkman High School now live in Nashville - don't move to Chattanooga this place sucks unless you like small crappy towns - yes if you love outdoors stuff (hiking, camping, kayaking, etc.) this place is a mecca and it is a beautiful city in natural beauty other than that don't do it - we used to say the only thing good about Chattanooga is that it was close to a lot of other places you can be in Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, or Knoxville all within 2 hours...Memphis, Orlando, Charlotte, the beaches in South Carolina or North Florida in six hours - that is the only great thing about this place. I bet this guy moves within 2 years. And the cost of living is exploding in Tennessee because people are moving here in droves from the coast due to the no state tax - and cheaper housing compared to where they are from.
I come vist a friend, I am from Dallas and the joke I make is watching paint peal.
My gf went to Kirkman.Hawk HILL. 😂
It's good you are gone....go enjoy Memphis.
The best thing about Chattanooga is having all 4 seasons. Winters here are not what they used to be because of climate change.
😂
The only climate change that we’re experiencing is the change that the government is bringing on, it’s not natural. It’s not from global warming, it’s not from gasoline Depot missions, it’s not from woodburning fire places and it’s certainly not because o eating too much meat.🤦♀️
@@mudjeeper4176are you laughing that the climate change thing is not really accepted by most credible scientists? 😊
To start video of with negativity is not good. Should have saved the "David Downer" rant about weather for at the end. This is a realtor I would not use.
So don't. He is being honest. Most appreciate that.
MOVE INTO A 5th FLOOR WALKUP ON THE LOWER EAST SIDE OF NYC. IT WILL BE GOOD EXERCISE.
Tip, if you're coming from those places like California or new York, don't. Just turn around and go back unless you leave those bs political views where you came from!
czcams.com/video/SybodJp2HbU/video.html
Translation: There are a lot of "uneducated" , MAGA rednecks here.
im from Afghanistan so i dont need to turn around..im coming chattanooghistan.
By political views, do you mean tolerance, an adult vocabulary level and basic personal hygiene? Because most southerners lack those things.
Just wanted to note that the redneck in the OP doesn't speak for all of us.
