What $1,000,000 Buys You In Raleigh North Carolina (Full House Tour)

Today we do a full tour of my friends new home in Raleigh NC. This home was purchased for $1.1M, the home was built in 2023 and is just north of 4000 sq ft on a 1 acre lot. If you're house hunting in Raleigh with the same budget then now you get a hum of what you can get for your money.

7 figures for a shared driveway is a tough pill to swallow

[@Shop_Simplicity]

Don't look at homes on the west coast then, you don't even get a yard for that price here and the house is half the square feet. said really how expensive homes have become, you can even buy a fixer upper for less then 400k.

[@harryireland1935]

This is a nice example of the depreciation of a currency. Of all currencies. This house would've been 400.000 only a few years ago. Reading this commentsection shows you how people are seemingly accepting the massive transfer of wealth through inflation, moneyprinting and fraudulent monetary policies. I have nothing against Mike, it's just getting increasingly harder to ignore the disconnect between rich KZbinrs and the average person NOT being able to afford a house or a car or just about anything these days. And if we can't talk about this, then where does it end?

[@joppaman21040]

A million is what 3 Bedroom Apartments are going for in NYC. It’s ridiculous!

[@Peter_T123]

1.1 wow overpriced 🤔

[@jamalwilkesbooth7190]

Great deal actually.

[@willroeder6462]

Wow, $1.1 million would go a lot farther in Atlanta. The Raleigh housing market is out of control apparently.

[@ASMRStressRelief4u]

great video Mike! I'm originally from Pittsburgh myself, lived there for 32 years but have now been in Raleigh for 11 years. It's crazy how much the housing market has exploded here in the past 5 years. Great place to live if you ever want to relocate! Love the look and design of this house. Wouldn't mind seeing more of these types of videos on this channel.

[@frenzy2223]

We moved from MD to the Raleigh area in 2019 and our home value has gone up $200k since then. The market is crazy down here despite the ridiculous interest rates.

[@ingalillvaim9727]

Gorgeous house with beautiful surroundings. My kind of house. I hope he gets to fill the home with family and friends visiting often 😃🏠

[@grahamstuart3207]

Great Home Mike...Like all the extra storage, you can never have enough. Congrats Deni

[@jonengle1873]

My favorite part is the ample amount of attic space. 😃

[@TSenter82]

That is a gorgeous house and you did a really good job on this video Mike.

[@tedll75]

Very nice house!! Very happy for him!! Great video Mike!

[@andrewmiller120]

[@edwardstroko4665]

Awesome video Mike!!!😎💪🇺🇸

[@johnchristiandecena1238]

Nice video! Love the kitchen area and the facade of the house ❤ From 🇵🇭

[@Hannu_H]

This was a nice video. As a Finn, it's nice to see what American houses look like from the inside.

[@ToniCarrington]

WOW the house doesn’t look that big on the outside but has a lot of rooms and storage space!

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Mike Viam Great Video I think Denny's House is Awesome and my favorite part is the Beautiful Garage Floo8

[@jeffmeyer3600]

He should do something with some that attic space. Make a man cave, extra bathroom, something. It seems like it's too much.

[@cassidybb10]

Maybe insulate it.

[@user-ey4ku3yf1s]

I love all the storage space, the garage floors & also the first floor guest suite which I call the Mother's Suite.! I am Denny's Mother, lol! 😊

[@DefinitelyNotYouThankGod]

Wow! What a beautiful home….😮

[@brandonterry4890]

Thanks for the reality Check. I'm going to need to just stay in New York since it seems like I'm going to be outpriced in North Carolina now 😂. I love his property. And I really love that outdoor patio.

[@johnlabus7359]

But NC won't kill you in property and school taxes.

[@twigwonderkid]

Wow ! Just love it ❤ Well out of my price bracket But lovely

[@jamesoakes4869]

Great job on the review.

[@howardgore9807]

Great tour of the house Mike. I like the hardwood flooring,not a carpet person. Also he must don't for know, dont have a off shoe policy. And I liked the stained concrete flooring in the garage.

[@numberone7674]

My favorite part is the ample amount of attic space that could be used to add an additional bedroom, man cave, office or just storage.

[@LordPrometheous]

There's no insulation and no HVAC in the attic. You wouldn't wanna be in there.

[@Steelbee]

Beautiful house!!! 🏠

[@moflow99]

Great video Mike, you had me for a second though...thought you bought a new house in NC 😂

[@jabareo]

Cool to see you in my neck of the woods.

[@billy3928]

You did a good job on the house tour

[@peterobertson2086]

I had a house a lot like that, and it was pretty rare that we went upstairs. Like you mentioned, a lot of wasted space. Nice house ,but it doesn't "flow". I prefer a more open plan layout.

[@ValentinG23]

Let’s get Mike to 10k by the end of the year 🔥💪🏻

[@kreatuor]

That's a great house with loads of possibilities! Price is incredible, overhere in Europe, or specifically the Netherlands something like this would go for about double or even triple that.... In EURO'S. I personally liked all the extra addict space and would have found some use for them.

[@devanshbajpai0845]

Give your home tour as well Mike.

[@Mike-Capz83]

that would be a good video!

[@billy3928]

Beautiful home

[@juliopaez4516]

A lot of house for 1 Million. I live in LA and a similar house would go for 3 times that price.

[@user-ov9rj6ze7v]

What a great way to have a driveway in a place like that

[@liamgallagher8961]

Glad the attics came with a house

[@dwaynewilliams1822]

Some people don't understand "location, location, location " is everything and N.C. is a pretty expensive place to live near the downtown area. If I had the finances to move in a house like that I would immediately.

[@Nik_nissan_300zx]

Very nice

[@tmacc100]

Haha I’m born and raised here in Raleigh. Still live here now!!

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

Beautiful home, I would get rid of that crappy carpet for some hardwood flooring

[@OnnSight]

its big and the land around is nice but i can see the difference in what we usually get in Canada and seeing this house i think it's weirdly divided the rooms and such but i like this different type of videos ! 😀👌 i also wonder why you edited in 1080p it made the video look choppy inside the house maybe because of that recording with your phone in 4k i guess downscaling might have hurt the smoothness i just wonder 😀

[@johnde2754]

Hey M. AutoVlog, the house has great "curb appeal" especially the CONCRETE driveway instead of the much less attractive tar. One MAJOR drawback however, the glued particle board construction used by builders to increase their margins over genuine PLYWOOD. This crappy material is pressed together with scrap wood and contains formaldehyde which slowly leeches out of the "wood" over time. Of course it is then inhaled by the home's occupants. Not to put a damper on the guy's new home but something to definitely be cognizant of. Hope this helps Yo ! 🎯

[@robnanneman]

If I'm not mistaken, plywood is a thin sheet made by gluing layers of wood together, thin wood layers are stacked one on top of the other in opposite directions. It looks like that's what I saw during the attic view. Particle board is made from wood chips, sawdust, etc also glued together under high heat and pressure. Are you thinking plywood as a ripped piece of a log? That would be the best, but no commercial builder is doing that unless it's custom and the price goes UP!

[@johnde2754]

​@@robnanneman No Sir, absolutely NOT real plywood construction. Take a better view at approx. 7:33 of the attic flooring and walls. That "marbled wood" material is a compressed & glued product. You're correct that genuine plywood is also sandwiched together using a glue adhesive but the glue is non-toxic. For some reason the much less expensive sawdust/particle board needs a toxic adhesive to bind the material together. Hence, the dirty little secret among home builders of a "wood" product that steadily bleeds formaldehyde into the home. A health concern that is further exacerbated by the "Tyvek" house wrap material that further contains the formaldehyde INSIDE the home. 🆘 🏠. 🆘

[@andrewhkim]

@@johnde2754you're thinking OSB, not particle board

[@johnde2754]

@@andrewhkim fairly certain the are one in the same and BOTH are manufactured with adhesives that leach toxins back into the air of the dwelling. 👉. ☠️

[@John-fr5bq]

For a million bucks I'd at least expect my own driveway that I don't have to share with the neighbors. That is sad...

[@thnksno]

I'm looking at basically the same houses with a couple acres. $400-$550k. I know it's all about location, and I'm not looking in Raleigh or even NC. However, this is also why I'm looking where I am. I really don't want to see my neighbors or smell them.

[@gregorypazo6446]

Guess he made a ton of cash on the Mt Washington condo, and conversely had to pony up for the new digs in Raleigh! Nice though! One thing he won’t be doing in Raleigh is shoveling snow put a price on that!

[@AndyNC]

Nice, where in Raleigh is that? I live in Raleigh too. Newly build in 2021.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic video Mike, that’s a nice house! I’d love to see one of these for yours in Pitt!

Attic space = storage My attic is full.

[@nasimsoha3850]

Are the attic storage spaces not absolutely freezing in winter with what looks like zero insulation?

[@diy-mitch-vlogs]

I live in Raleigh. But it's sure as heck not in a 1.1M house! :)

[@jtalonrider4769]

This show how bad is the economy for 1m? And those materials?

[@harryireland1935]

Not the economy. It's fraudulent and corrupt monetary policies debasing currencies. This would've been a 400k house 4 or 5 years ago. No high-end materials and absolutely not worth 1.1 million. I'm not sh*tting on the person that bought this, but rather lament how we allowed politicians and bankers to strangle us in record-debt and a society that's reached depressing levels of inequality, greed and exclusion from the propertymarket. An income of $115.000 would be needed to be able to afford the median homeprice of $420.000 in the US. That's excluding the hotspots. Add to that propertytaxes and insurance rising by 15-25% and then some. This is so wrong and it's heartbreaking. This is what you get when a population is being gaslit by media, corporate America and multi-millionairs posing as politicians. It's the scam of the century.

[@wadefletchervlogs7626]

It just doesn’t look like it should be a million dollar home🤷‍♂️ I guess im just used to how prices used to be lol

[@johnlabus7359]

You can tell it's a guy's house. TV's, audio system, and bar are set up, but the dining room is empty & the breakfast room has a tiny table and chairs.

[@LordPrometheous]

Dude, you walked inside the house with your shoes on?

[@nybye]

who the hell design these houses with so much wasted space?and why is there no insulation to be seen on roofs and walls? but it looks really nice!

[@jamesoakes4869]

Quality seems a little low for that price. Lots of carpet and those look like vinyl floors. Nice curb appeal.

[@DGYtown]

I liked the house 🏡 tour. I live in Wilmington NC. It’s about 2.5 hours from Raleigh. It’s right on the coast. You should check out condos here. You mentioned you would like a place in Destin Florida. Wilmington might be cheaper and closer to your buddy

[@bridgieoh9326]

Don't they insulate the empty attic spaces in NC? Nice house, but that is a lot of house for 1 person.

[@End2828]

[@SalesTaxin]

1.1 Mil ??? Huhhh ?? There are sooo many disappointments in this house to cost that much… shared driveway, narrow walkways, tiny guest and tiny full bath, three car garage ?? I couldn’t see buying this house for 1.1 mil.

Canada 😂 yeah but there the money is similar to Mexican Pesos. 1 million Canadian is only $750 grand U.S.D… so there is that. Plus the weather in Canada is absolutely horrible frozen and snowing 9 months out of the year. Sneeze and the summers are over. I lived in Minnesota and was like that there even further north is again that much colder and more miserable with again higher taxes. Hard Pass!
