Don't Move to Portland Maine, Here's Why...

[@paulmartinez78]

Me and my wife visited Portland last year and I fell in love with the place. Being from California, I would move here in a heartbeat. The snow would be a major Major…..adjustment but this place was beautiful.

[@Livetheseacoast]

I totally agree, Portland is an amazing city. As a real estate agent most people think we are only trying to sell people on a location, so I like to inform people about the cons as well as the pros. That being said, I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather live than Southern Maine. Thanks for the comment!

@@Livetheseacoast Have you had a lot people from California move to Portland? Or more from other states?

[@Livetheseacoast]

Absolutely! Ever since 2020 there has been a huge influx of out of staters coming to Maine. I say welcome home to the way life should be!

[@paulmartinez78]

@@Livetheseacoast Lastly, what are you “generally” getting for the price tags of homes out there? What do you get for $400,000+? Not a new build I’m assuming? Square footage?

[@Livetheseacoast]

Paul, it really depends on the location, but we made an entire video going over the cost of living in Portland, definitely check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWndiHepp8yaa68. If you are seriously considering a move don't hesitate to call me direct: 603-303-7361. Hope that helps!!

[@Livetheseacoast]

Nice!! Thanks for the comment!! I appreciate it.

[@magnuswettermark8293]

Ok...but compared to Portland oregon its a dream.

[@Livetheseacoast]

I can't argue with you there:)

[@melgomez7812]

It’s expensive

[@Livetheseacoast]

Unfortunately, the rising price of real estate and everything is affecting Portland for sure!

[@jacobdarling1524]

“I’m a local real estate agent and here’s why you shouldn’t move to my state.” Interesting sales pitch but go on.

[@Livetheseacoast]

That's exactly why I made this video! Everyone assumes that as a real estate agent we are only trying to sell you something...it's good to also here why Portland may not be a good fit.

[@johnlozauskas778]

Not to be a jerk, but for non-millennials I would like to see review. For the simple fact that everywhere it’s getting more expensive cost are going up. Either one adopts or whines about it and dies.

[@johnlozauskas778]

Seems fairly affordable compared to Northern New Jersey and what I grew up -11 was not the most crushing temperature ever. If you want to live really cheap either move to Mississippi or Alabama and see what life is like there.

[@Livetheseacoast]

@John Lozauskas you are not a jerk at all! I love living in Maine, it's extremely affordable compared to other New England states. As a local realtor everyone always assumes we are only trying to sell you on the location, so I always like to inform my clients why they may NOT want to live in a certain city or place in Maine.

[@jobuckley2999]

I am sold. No way would I live in Portland Maine.

[@Livetheseacoast]

Glad the information was helpful to you! Are you thinking about moving to Maine at all?

[@amygirl9534]

I sort of thought it would be more affordable than Portland, Oregon. Darn. It looks nicer, but also ...I’ll take rain over -11 degrees. Yikes.

[@originalk9111]
