Highest rate of alcoholism in the US... that's how 😂
Thank you for the update. Like always great vid. Beautiful scenery. Hopefully in the coming year I can finally move there. 👋
You're welcome! Thanks for your comment
I want to buy 1 or 2 acres in vermont, but cant find where to find what is available. Any help please?
Hey! Send me an email at [email protected] and I'd be happy to help!
If your moving to vermont fill your saddle bags full of Franklins your taxes will eat your Franklins up in no time
Yea, our tax burden only gets bigger and bigger sadly
Barre always sucked and still sucks!
🤷🏼♂️
My family and friends laugh at me because Vermont is one of my dream vacation spots. Living in Brooklyn NY why wouldn't it be?
It is a lovely spot to vacation!
What is the age limit?
Look on think Vermont to see if there is an active incentive and you can ask them
Hey good for you! Good video!
Thank you!
i’ve lived in vermont for a half-century… let me assure you, there are no cheap places to live here… expect to pay $$$ for a wonderful environment
Idk, have you ever lived in Canaan VT? 😅
I like your video. It's kinda crazy how much that Wal-mart changed in such a short amount of time.
Yea, true. They did a lot of work recently. If only they'd replace their roads!!
Brattleboro is crackhead central...and the homeless.
Unfortunately, like Burlington it's taken a turn for the worse.
Born & raised in VT (East Montpelier) moved to Maine to go to college many years ago and never looked back! The cost of housing in VT is literally insane.
From what I hear NH and ME aren't that much better for buying a house, but yea, expensive to live in VT...
@@LivinginVermont FAR cheaper in Northern Maine! Anything North of Bangor is downright reasonable.
That's interesting to hear
If they can buy sight unseen over market price your not getting enough for your property!
Not necessarily true. Depends how desperate the buyers are making the sight unseen offers. If it's a loan you have to worry about it appraising, if it's a cash offer then the higher the better with no worries about under appraising
exterior looks amazing. interior looks like a florida condo... yuck
All perspective... very popular with people, it's under contract!
What a lovely sunny weather, might last for another 5 minutes!
Ever since all the good old cloud seeding started 😃
Can’t wait to retire in VT one day ❤
It's a lovely place for that!
Why are there so many drug issues in vermont. Is NH and ME similar ?
NH and ME are pretty similar as they are so close. I imagine they also have their own drug issues. I think a large chunk of the problem is Vermont is so progressive and lets so many criminals of the hook and hope they come back to court later or they give them short sentences even when they are repeat violent offenders. They also offer tons of housing and stipends to the homeless, refugees and illegal immigrants... similar to California sadly
Skiers and snowboarders are not the only ones that visit Vermont in the winter. You left out people who visit Vermont to do ice fishing and Snowmobiling. Vermont has about 5000 miles of snowmobile trails in the winter and and many clubs are very organized clubs that maintain the trails and put a lot of hard work in the fall to make sure everything is ready for winter riding. Snowmobiling brings a lot of money into the state of Vermont when there is a good to decent winter, which we haven’t had in the last couple years.
Absolutely! This wasn't a video about things to do in Vermont so much otherwise I would've included those
Sad part of Barre so many empty stores, and too high rent, and not alot of jobs.
dont move to barre. Its a shit hole
Wish I could move there. Im stuck in the south and my wife wont go bc of the cold winters otherwise Id move to Montpelier in a ❤beat
That's why they made RVs 😉
Stupidly overpriced city. You could find a nicer apartment for less money in Boston.
But Vermont is not the snowiest state in the Union. Actually, Alaska, North Dakota and Minnesota beat out Vermont. Otherwise, lovely video.
Statistic wise it is, surprisingly. Thank you
He forgot to mention the annual May Day craft show. Very popular.
Vermont and affordable is now sadly an oxymoron.
It's getting that way with these constant tax increases...
The main reason we moved in 2020 is because one my husband was retiring and two the weather. It has a lot to do with the weather. It's very costly to live there. It's a fight to stay warm. Might I add that it's the most unfriendliest State I've ever lived in.
True! If you're not from there you're considered a flatliner. There is definitely a click. I feel like the whole Northeast kingdom is full of rude cold people
I think they invited them there so they could bit- h about it after.
I am or was a VT resident of 28 years before moving to Iowa two years ago. Barre is not really a place you'd want to live in, least for long. Call it a placeholder city, you're there for maybe 1 - 2 years most before you set your sights elsewhere. You're better off going to either Rutland, Williston, Burlington, Bennington, Winooski or even St.Albains. Sure, the affordability rates will be higher, but you'll be thanking yourself in the long run because really the contrast of civilization between Barre/Montpelier even to those towns is night and day. You'll just find yourself exhausting everything Barre has to offer right around that time range of 1-2 years before you're tired of having to spend so much on gas on the trips to and back from Barre to further away cities. You'll eventually be wanting to live in a more peaceful and safer city than potentially running into some troubled people looking to give you hell. That's the general consensus I've gathered from all of the stories I've heard of people who primarily lived in Barre. Some people love it but man do a lot of people really not like it. I'm nostalgic for Barre for numerous reasons, I've attended the schools there, I've walked a lot on the streets, thrifted, hung with friends and all that during my residency though I lived off in the smaller town of Graniteville so it was like if you walked to the top of Quarry Hill, you can literally see a good chunk of Barre right down to Main St. It is truly a sight. Otherwise, yeah, placeholder city.
I would agree with you! I wouldn't want to live there long-term myself. Some people love it but most people don't.
Lies. Theres bums in middlebury and shootings in burlington alll summer long.
Not lies. I never said Burlington didn't have crime. And if you did any looking you'd see this video is a few years old and it's mostly in the past 2-3 years where Burlington crime has gone up
*Promo sm* 💐
Your video was fun and you are a very likeable guy. Thank you for all the information. I would like to suggest to also talk a little about the climate and sun hours through the year you are receiving. Thank you! Job well done. 👍
Thank you Chris, I appreciate it! The past year or 2 have been kind of cloudy but in previous years it has been much sunnier. I'm not sure how many hours, it's probably online somewhere...
Hey, moving to Vermont soon and just wanted to say your videos have been super helpful. I’m unfortunately renting but if I was buying I would totally go to you
Hey, thank you, I appreciate that! I hope your move goes well 😊
Which are best for kids with autism?
I have no idea. That sounds like a school oriented question, and I just don't know where the best programs are.
@@LivinginVermont Thanks
Hey there! I am impressed with your honesty! We purchased our home four years ago in Newport. Two acres next to the HS, Elementary School, hospital, Cemetary.. Murder has gone up, unfortunately.. finally got the grant to fix our sewer/water.. taxes went up again.. schools are struggling to find or even keep teachers.. the ones we do have also work at walmart to get that extra income.. our hospital is constantly bombarded to the point that they have people in the hallway for all to see because there are not enough rooms in the E.R... if you are brought to the hospital by ambulance, you're going through the main lobby, and everyone in town is going to know that your grandmama is there before you even do.. you'll find out over facebook from a stranger but they are all of a sudden your long lost bff which will proceed with a "please pray for my dearest friend".. and be prepared to be accused of being there just to try and get prescriptions.. We were told great things about knocking down more than half of Main St buildings but now its a giant hole with trees growing through the cement and stray cats made it the giant "play place" their home.. once a drug dealer, your local theif, or your friendly neighborhood murderer gets arrested, they're out quicker than the media can get the "news" out.. Green Up Day was a big deal in our area bit its now encouraged that our children no longer participate due to the amount of needles and other things that are just here there and everywhere.. my nephew who was just 7 at the time got poked by one AT THE SCHOOL PLAYGROUND (two towns over).. DO NOT SWIM IN THE LAKE.. did i tell you that we have a water/sewer problem? But hey, we have Tim & Doug's Ice Cream! 🎉 OH, and finally, after fighting for YEARS to get this.. we have a WALMART est. 2016!! Yeah!! Our favorite theives are found in every aisle! Or better yet, casually walking through the front doors with their cart FULL.
Just wondering if there are any number of condos for sale in Burlington and if so are they newer or older. Thanks
Hey Randy, There are 6 condos for sale in Burlington and 8 in South Burlington currently for sale. Ranging from 260k to 1.5Mil. The more you pay the newer and nicer they are... some of the ones in the 300s are pretty updated though. I'm happy to send them to you if you shoot me an email 🙂
I went there one time when me and my family went with relatives to dropping someone off to Middlebury College. We woke up at 4AM EST to drive from NYC to Middlebury VT and we arrived home at 11PM EST. Vermont felt so peaceful and that trip was an adventure.
I love Vermont, but it's way too tax burdened. I guess I'll just settle for visiting it now and then. The few people I know that live there all cross into NH not to pay sales tax
Unfortunately it is too tax burdened and is only getting worse. Too progressive to the point where we are turning into California and they are just adding taxes on top of taxes and creating new taxes!
😮 drugs city I m from there Used TO BE GREAT I LEFT IN 1995 ITS BAD SINCE THEY TAKE ANYONE COME AROUND N GIVE PLACE OF LIVING TO THE TRASH PEOPLE N A LOT OF DECENT PEOPLE HWT HOLD IN WALL APARTMENTS WITH FULL OF MOLD HIDING IN THE WALL OWNERS OF THESE BIG RENTING BUILDING ARE DISHONEST OWNERS I KNOW WHAT I M TaLKING ABOUT BE CAREFUL IF U DECIDE TO RENT IN EVEN IN THESE TOWNS GOOD LUCK😮

Do you think the market values on Vermont homes are going to skyrocket in the next year?? What are people coming in from out of state looking for in a property?
Hey! I don't think they'll skyrocket but I do think they will keep trending up as inventory is still low and interest rates are expected to come down at least a little towards the end of the year. Out of staters typically want great wifi, land/privacy, some want views/Vermonty feel, not much different than what most Vermont home buyers tend to want. Most want move in ready homes, or homes with minor work though as they often are on a timeline to move to Vermont.
if trump wins say goodby to any property, bank account, freedoms, democracy, and some their lives (if they are "liberals"). I am waiting until after the elections to do anything. I otherwise have a farm I am selling in Oregon
@@AllysonJFlaggI think many people would want to flood to Vermont. We are the ONLY state to take a stand against Trump, barely. Couldn't have done it without Burlington.
@@woowoochuggachugga I agree, and the only 2 things stopping me getting there to view homes are logistics (transportation, a place to stay while I look around, how many airline tickets to pay for while looking), and redistricting political geographic strategies that could change Vermont to a bleed-out (IE: republican vampire death). Here in Oregon, we who are sane are scattered all over the State. But LORD, those who are not sane are some real entertainments to say the least!! As for a purposeful life, fenceposts have more to offer than those folks!!!
@@AllysonJFlagg I came to Vermont from the south to get away from the cult of the orange turd and was a little disappointed to find a few of his brainwashed fanatics here (they usually have GIGANTIC signs in their yards or something really obnoxious on their trucks-so they are obvious) but most people here are really sane and so wonderful. Most of the self-described republicans here hate trump. Vermont is a wonderful place to be, just really, really expensive.
What's average rent there? I'm wanting to move from South Texas. Rent here is about $1100-$1500.
Depends what size. Rent on most places here is $1,200-2,400 and often more for large houses.
$1600 pmonth nothing included for an apartment.. for housing its anywhere from $2000 pmonth for a junker to $4500 pmonth also nothing included.
That's more so the case in Chittenden County
Is it easy to move to Vermont from European Union countries? Is there any work and visas for immigrants?
Hey, I'm not super sure but there are a lot of immigrants in Vermont, it shouldn't be too hard to get a work visa as Vermont needs workers!
I like Montpelier and Berlin but it doesn't seem there's a whole lot going on in Barre. Seems kind of run down and dead for the most part, especially for a city its size.
Not a lot going on... definitely more excitement in Montpelier in my opinion as well. Not bad amenity wise but if you like to always be doing things it might not be a good fit
If there is a well, well inspections is good too. We did it for ours in 2018 and it saved us having to redrill the well since it was so bad it emptied in less than 15 min. Though that was not in a sellers market so there is that.
Hey, thank you for your input! Was that done by a well company and was it in Vermont?
@@LivinginVermont no in RI but when my parents bought their place near Chester, VT they had theirs done, not sure who did it but their well was fine.
Okay. It's pretty rare that I see people do well tests in VT, or that water runs dry, (unless it's a dug well or stream water). If you're worried about it, it could be worth it. With dug wells and streams it's a given that they're not as reliable, along with more easily contaminated. In that case, getting a drilled well would be a good idea.
i moved to FL 2 years ago so these % are off. I was robbin everybody up there for a minute but now i'm down here, IN FLORIDA.
You have no idea buddy, don’t even listen to this clown
