So why are you a realtor there if it suks so bad to live there?...pretty weird!
reason why you should definetly live in the verde valley 1. coyotes and javelina everywhere if you plan on having a garden or small pets outside, dont put them out front or you will sure to have you front yard pillaged by a pig with an identity crisis choosing to be both a rodent pig, and a hipppotamus. 2. its SOOO nice outside, we can get up to 95 degrees in the middle of the night, i hope yourused to the sun! everything is so cheap! just go buy the best thing you see in old town or sedona and watch your debt shoot like a star!
Sad news peeps. Its way to crowded now not enough infrastructure for the population. Been here since 1992.
Looking for rural offgrid land
Are you going to tour the Quarterhorse Lane and/or Saltmine Road areas (and further out...?) Maybe I'll see your car if you do. Thanks for the informative videos! :)
The rich destroyed preskitt.
We have a Prescott here in Arkansas. Roughly twenty miles from where I grew up in which is Delight. When I first visited AZ after having moved from there; we were going to Flagstaff from Phoenix and we came past Prescott. It had totally messed with me to had flown all the way out here and find Prescott when we had left Prescott in AR. I was about almost 10 years old at the time and had not really learned about the different states yet.
Thank You for Your Video
Market collapse incoming within the next two years possible. Fifety-Sixety percent avg home price drop and seventy to eighty percent for the luxury market. I'm on the sidelines for now but I'll be buying in the Flagstaff area and you'll be my realtor. Great streams and glad I found you
How do u know
@@ShrekSwag Thats why I said possible
I've been hearing about this market collapse for a few years now. People missed out on some great opportunities before covid and they are still missing them now. 50%-60% seems way too high. If that were to happen I don't think the average American would be in any position to take advantage. It would only be beneficial to companies wanting to buy up properties. The last housing crash (the worst) only drop home values by around 20%. But, no one can predict the future.
Hard to know what's gonna happen. I tried to predict long term trends in the past, but unforseen issues can arise and blow predictions away. I like to keep my predictions more short term, like 6 months to a year.
Love chino valley, but the excessive speeding that's going on on road 4 north is becoming highly questionable
Sorry! I don’t like the industrial look and feel of these modern builds. It doesn’t make sense to have such a big shower without having a tub in it. Most of all, there are no blinds or anything at the windows for privacy. I wouldn’t want to spend that much money on a house and have to install some sort of blinds for privacy.
A lot of the new builds here have the boxy, industrial look to them.
I don’t know what part of Phoenix you’re comparing gas prices to, but I live in Mesa and the gas a month ago was around $3.60 a gallon
Thoughts on new massive Semi-conductor factories being erected in north Phoenix?
It's not a 45-minute drive to Prescott... I despised living in Chino valley for the 6 years that I did but many of your talking points are not factual. I now live in rural New Mexico and I love it so much more.
I'm looking for vacant land with no HOA to build a house with a well. Real area. Horse property.
Thank you! Very helpful!
You keep 'em away, baby
Flagstaff is just a dirty "railroad town" with some nice national forest surrounding it. I moved here in 1966. Believe me, it's nothing special. NAU, Northern Arizona University is a "dumb downed institution". The cost of living here is quite high, and local wages don't support the real estate market. I sold my last home here ten years ago for $349,000, and it's on the market again now for in excess of $900,000. The infrastructure is 1970's vintage. I'm looking to bail...................
Graduated NAU in the 1900’s. Nice. 🏆

Learned nothing from this
Good Day & Thank You.
Very interesting cross of varied reasons!! 🤔🧐 Thanks Dawn!! 😊
I get that Flag has grown a lot in the last 20 years but how the hell can a still tiny (compared to Phoenix) high country town provide the kind of jobs that enable a median house price of 800K? That's just nuts. Must be an influx of out ouf staters buying up the housing stock and pushing prices to insane levels.
Many Californians are moving here and paying more than a million dollars cash for their houses.
Living in Northern Arizona your wrong about the number 1 considerations should be is not location at all that would be at best the secound consideration. the number one considerations no matter were you buy land would be water not all land has water on it or to it so this is the first consideration you should really be looking at is how are you going to get water to that land no matter what state or what part of any state you are looking at to buy land then the secound most important thing to look for is access to that land like how are you going to be able to get to that land is it like a land lock were you have no way to get to your land becouse of all the lands round your land that you are looking to buy has no right away to get to your land to drive too it. if this is the case that there is no water and you are unable to have any access to it then no matterr how good thte location is its not worth buying it at all unlike what she says in this video this is why she is wrong on what she had said. now the 3rd consideration would diffrently be location for sure then is it at the right location for you and if every one does not know this all ready whats a good location to you may be the wrong location for some one else. not every ones location is the same jsut like beauty is diffrent to every one else like they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder meaning its diffrent from person to person. as for the number 1 consideration is diffrently water. especially talking about buying land not just in Arizona but any states out in the west part of the USA for sure. i am surprise that she does not know this all ready for saling land here in AZ for not all water rights are guarantee int he first place there was a community next to scottsdale az that scottsdale stopped all water delivers too because of water restrictions scottsdale was see they had for there city so the stopped all water going to this one community was relying on for years now they had to find a nother source of water they were going to get from. so i have to ask why Living in Northern Arizona she did not list water as the number 1 consideration and as stupid it sounds like she says its location. even with a good location with out water how good is that location is then. that i can see only some one that is not that smart would say something like this at all. oh ya sorry for the long read and i may have repeated more then one time too.
Alright , no access to the land should be on the list. I encounter that so infrequently that didn't bring it up. Yes, water , most important. Homes in Rio Verde north Scottsdale have no water so don't buy there. I wasn't playing Rank the issues, these are the top issues, you can have water but if the lot is on the side of a cliff from civilization 3 hours off a dirt road its a problem.
For me, water is part of location.
I will visit. I can imagine the energy there
Really gives a good overview of what's involved in buying a vacation/2nd home. As always very informative! Thanks Dawn!! 😊
Thank you!
I read Flagstaff is one of the most snowy areas in the U.S.
I’ve lived here since I was 3. I can’t tolerate heat, I’m retired, I’m not moving.
Hi Dawn, I have watched some of your videos and find them very informative. I have a question that I can't get answered anywhere and I'm hoping you might know, or know someone who can tell me. I sold a mobile home in Jan. and I would like to know how much I might pay in taxes next year for selling it. Sale amount was $46,000 It was older than 1976 It was a single wide It was not affixed - it was completely movable, it was on wheels and it was in a park on a leased lot - not on land owned by me it was sold as a motor vehicle with a normal transfer of title I asked my tax guy to find out how much to save for my tax burden next year and he said 20% of the sale price! Could that be correct. I think he is not understanding that its not "real" property. I can't seem to get him to understand and I can't seem to find anyone who can tell me for sure. Thanks in advance! Dee
Thanks! This very helpful.
Oklahoma and Texas deal with tornados, straight line heavy winds, hail and fires. My insurance has more than doubled in the past few years with no claims.
I forgot about tornados. But I didn't realize insurance cost would double.
Very interesting! Home insurance is something worth checking out before making a decision on where to buy. Thanks Dawn!! 😊
Oklahoma is in the tornado alley that’s why
That makes sense
Not too much about Northern AZ, 75 percent was about south AZ, change your title!
what if i dont like the heat?
Probably should visit in the summer first to see if you can take
Very informative info! Helpful for my husband and I, thank you 😊
I'm looking at lands in Salome, but they look cheap so I am wondering if they have any restriction they told me is for a Permanent RV, mobile home, or site built, and their ample space for septic installation no water/electricity or septic on the lot....will you recommend to buy?
Look at the county website about permits.
If it is still available and you decide to pass I would be interested in checking out if you'd be kind enough to share Mostly just looking for a home base to live in my motorhome
I am not familair with Salome.
Do you have any good rental recommendations? Im three years away from retirement and I would never want to buy a home until I live in the area for at least a year. Plus I would need to sell my home in Houston first.
I will be there in July, first visit ever. Looking forward to it. Coming from Houston, Tx
Looks like you were speeding. 😝 We're staying up there in September for a week. Can't wait.
June 2024 Reality Check: this community loves to discuss issues, procrastinating results sometimes for decades. If you look back every ten years for 40 years, the "unaffordable housing problem" is always discussed, still NOT RESOLVED. Many residents are section 8, due to housing costs. Most employers are inundated with immature, lazy, inexperienced college aged. Traffic generally sucks. Driving 5 miles along I40 to save time can be very hazardous. City council rubber stamps most projects. Massive over-development under way with no end in site. This town will be out of water sooner than later. We rely on Lake Mary exclusively, with scattered, expensive wells about. Summer weather only getting hotter. AZ resident since 1973, looking to leave before 2025. Good luck.
Loved the drive!! Beautiful!! Would you also be doing a summer drive through Camp Verde? I'd love to see that also !! Do enjoy your driving tours!! Thanks Dawn!!! ❤😊
I could do a drive through Camp Verde, I've been thinking about where to go next!
that was a fantastic video,,,i loved watching this on my big screen TV its like driving through heaven,,its beautiful out there in Sedona...
Thank you very much!
Very informative and well narrated.👍🏻 Makes me feel as if I were there in person driving.
Thank you! I try to make them unscripted like that, although when I play it back I realize I repeat myself sometimes....
@livinginnorthernaz We don't mind. You are our eyes and ears in the Sedona area. You do just fine
Beautiful, thank you
Thank you!
Is there an area known for good soils?
Do you have any ethics? Dewey-Humboldt has had a TOXIC WASTE PROBLEM FROM THE NEARBY MINE AND SMELTER FOR YEARS! How can you advocate moving into this area in your video without informing people that it is an EPA Super Fund site and living there MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO THEIR HEALTH! Because you’re a realtor that’s how.
Excellent video!!...clear, concise and thorough. Thankyou!!
Thank you
Hi Dawn. I'm interested in the Flagstaff area. Do you have a video we can watch on that area?
Hi, I have a few on Flagstaff. Here is a link to the playlist. kzread.info/head/PLQkEdaOkZ2yHgL0Q-qhjitAs4hA0pF64I
