I stumbled across this video cuz I am in the process of moving to Savannah, maybe a show around sav date? Lol

[@kevinsoundmixer]

Moving to Savannah in 2016 for work was the best decisions I ever made. I fell in love with the city, the great people here, and the work opportunities (covid withstanding) were life changing. It does get a little warm in the summer but I don't mind it. The only downside I can think of is the pesky sand gnats! Ha. Thank you for a great video Karin!

[@NandiStrict]

I lived in GA twice as a kid . Once in Hinesville and the second time in Savannah. I’d fallen in love with Savannah and know that’s where I’ll want to settle down one day

[@georgiacoasthomes]

Come on back sometime! It was 80 degrees the other day.

[@FknNefFy]

I’m from Philly, now living in California, I’m thinking of Georgia too! It looks like I’m taking your same path!

[@georgiacoasthomes]

I was never in Philly but Pittsburgh is close enough! Where in Georgia?

[@mtns340]

Idk if I'm ready to move from the frigid North to the sweltering South just yet, but I wanted to comment that I appreciate your hammy & humorous video. I've watched a ton of these types of vids to research various locations, and most of them are really repetitive & impersonal, so thanks for actually being engaging.

[@georgiacoasthomes]

Wow, thank you! I appreciate that so much.

[@BEAUTYFUL18]

WE JUST DECIDED TO MOVE THERE IN 3 MONTHS.AND YOUR VIDS MAKE EVERY DECISION EASY

[@georgiacoasthomes]

Oh my gosh, you just made my day. Thank you so much!!! We love helping our clients move here and find the right home. I hope you love it too!

[@danielle228512]

I just moved to Savannah last week from Duluth, MN. Trust me, the brutal winters and fearing for my life while driving will NOT be missed! Although, since I am a transplant the humidity right now is awful and keeping me from going outdoors too much, however I do plan to spend the "cooler" months doing a lot more exploring! 💖😎

[@georgiacoasthomes]

Right?!?! I learned to drive in the snow in Michigan. I spent more time in ditches than I did on the road, I swear. Yeah, the humidity right now is killing us but hopefully in another six weeks it'll be better.

[@danielle228512]

@@georgiacoasthomes Yes and my birthday is in October so it'll be a perfect time to celebrate, and I honestly cannot wait for Halloween! Also, my first day here I had to try the shrimp and grits and it was amazing! 😋😋

[@macdisciple]

Moved to Savh in 94 while downtown was boarded up. I watched it prosper firsthand and loved working downtown. Moved away in 2008. I cannot stand going back now. The traffic is too much for me.

[@touayaaj84]

Im from the midwest. I’ve been very fortunate to live in the south due to being in the military. Im currently still serving, 15 years now. All my duty stations has been in the south and I don’t miss the north one bit. Nothing beats southern hospitality and sweet tea.

[@georgiacoasthomes]

I agree! I do not need to shovel snow ever again.

[@EndOfThings77]

I just " discovered " your videos and Savannah was recommend to me by a co-worker who is ex-Army. My wife and I may have to visit Savannah sometime next year. We will definitely check out the food as you suggested and the the ambiance of the whole place, as we are nearing retirement. Thanks for making all your videos Ms. Karin Carr.

[@Simplee_Shan]

Lol, not the singing 🤣🤣🤣.

[@outtahere321]

You have a nice voice. Happy you are enjoying living in my home state. I have been working overseas for many years but plan to return home soon. Thank you for the info and will be looking to get a home in that area in the near future. I will be contacting your office for assistance. Just warn the folks about the gnats...lol

[@JosieVanDeKer]

Awesome!!!!! Can hear all the bugs and looking for snakes in that pond behind you 🤣🤣

There are snakes in there for sure so I do NOT go in that water. Ever!

Omg Karin you are a riot! Love it ! And I’ve said this more than once ( in my mind and to my husband lol ) ... if we choose to move out of NY we know where we are going and who we are going to call :)

[@georgiacoasthomes]

Donna Iannacchino come on down any time! 🥰

[@guldbeck]

The market here in Savannah is very unpleasant for buyers right now. Demand far outweighs supply and most decent homes in the lower price ranges go under contract instantly, often with multiple offers. I’ve been looking for six months and still have not found “my place”. 🥵 I’m looking in the midtown/east side areas, so maybe it’s easier out in the suburbs. I do love it here in Savannah. Best wishes to everyone.

[@georgiacoasthomes]

It really depends on your price range. In the first time buyer price range yes, it's pretty competitive. And yep, you're looking in a pretty hot area. Patience is a virtue! And is there anything you bring to teh table that's really strong besides price?

[@lauralampe1664]

I just subscribed to your Channel. I plan on moving south within the next 4 to 5 years when I retire. Florida is high on my radar, but I am open to other locations with no snow, lower cost of living and lower property taxes than suburban Chicago where I have lived for many years. Looking forward to more videos.

[@gregwegleitner1933]

Check out southern Mississippi, Biloxi/Ocean Springs Area it's beautiful and under the radar.

[@8675-__]

Georgia is more affordable than Florida. And has larger lots

[@xFavre4LifEx]

We are wondering if houses in Savannah have garages? It seems like most of the properties I’m seeing on Zillow only have car ports.

[@8675-__]

Some do and some don't.... Its easy to ad a carport if you have space

[@machame738]

Hahaha great sense of humor! I love this video! 😄🙌❤️

[@jennifermillsrhit6607]

How did you like it? I live in Ohio now and I’m considering moving up there

[@jennifermillsrhit6607]

@@wolfrus1809 we moved a little further down the coast in Ga in 2021 ahead of our original plans noted here. Wanted more land and less city / suburban life. No snow and I haven't donned a winter coat since! I love the heat! I have to head up to Ohio next week, ironically, and I am praying not to see any of the white stuff in my travels!

[@delphinenyirahabimanam.d.8510]

[@StarlightPrincess70]

I am considering moving to Savannah in three years when my daughter graduates from high school, I have lived in norther CA for 53 years and I am SOOOOO done. The cost and culture is a living nightmare. I honestly don't know how I am going make it another three years here but I don't want to uproot my daughter. ARGH. Am saving up money for a trip to Savannah to see if it's indeed going to be my new homw someday. Great video and you have a new subscriber!

[@georgiacoasthomes]

Thank you for watching! We moved our kids a lot and it wasn’t easy for them so I hear you on waiting till she graduates. I hope you’ll love it here! When you come to visit stay in the historic district or out at the beach. You’ll love it! It’s sooooo different from NorCal in the architecture, the trees and plants, the air. I love it!

[@StarlightPrincess70]

Yes! Definitely staying in the historic district or beach! I was pricing out airfare and airbnb's yesterday. I am SO excited to visit probably this Fall. :)@@georgiacoasthomes

[@georgiacoasthomes]

@StarlightPrincess70 fall is a wonderful time because the temperature is much nicer than July, and August, which are truly hot. The only downside is that is tropical storm/hurricane season. If you go after Halloween, you’ll probably be in the clear. Today it’s in the 60s but next week it’s supposed to be down in the 20s and 30s. It’s going to be cold! January and February are usually the coldest months, July and August are usually the hardest. The rest are lovely, temperature wise. Have fun!

[@StarlightPrincess70]

Thank you for that info! I will try to plan to go at the beginning of November. Thank you! @@georgiacoasthomes

[@jericosha2842]

Got a job down there. A little concerned as a lower income individual. Apartments are around 200-300 more a month than in the north where I'm at. It's worth it, but it's going to be a sacrifice.

[@georgiacoasthomes]

Our rental market here is really hot so I’m not surprised that it’s a bit more than what you’re used to. Hopefully the lack of shoveling snow makes up for it though. 😁

[@BeautifulBrainTrained]

Apts in the north are not 200-300/ week.

[@jonathanmorgan9352]

Hi, Ms. Carr Love watching your videos on Living In Savannah and What Savannah is like to live In. I just have one quick question what are The winters like in Savannah?

[@georgiacoasthomes]

We usually are in the 40’s and 50’s during the day. Occasionally it gets down into the 30’s but overall it’s chilly but not insanely cold.

[@Jim_in_AR]

If you have a lot of thunderstorms, do you also get a lot of hail and hail damage?

It's very competitive and rates are increasing quickly. Not impossible but you may have to search for a while before you find something.

[@deetrinda8400]

@@georgiacoasthomes Thanks so much for answering. How far in advance should I start looking? 2 to 3 months? I’ll be moving from another state into Savannah. I’ll start looking as early as allowable. Does your office handle rentals or only buying housesp
