The wife and I at first wanted to move up to Charlevoix but man is that place expensive and nowhere near the amenities of Petoskey. We drove through Petoskey in early October and decided it’s the place we’d like to relocate from the Jackson area. I work remotely with a good income so we hope the stars align for us. What’s the feasibility of building your own house up there versus buying a house? I know each has its pitfalls but we’d love to build if it’s financially practical. Great vid!
I grow up on Walloon Lake & love Petoskey but people are buying up houses and converting to Air B & B's. Most businesses have short staff because no one can afford rent. It used to be a very beautiful little town, but now most shops on the main street are empty also because rent is to high. You only show the corner of one block from multiple angles. Be honest with people you're selling to
Thank you for the comment. I do my best to share the good and bad about northern Michigan. In fact, I have an entire podcast dedicated to the truth about living in Northern Michigan.
Lived there first 42 years of my life. Is nice but many faults. Housing and basic needs to expensive for blue collar workers. Lots of coverups in the crime department.

Thank you for the comment. Building is great, it has become very expensive. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I would be happy to help.

You’re probably right
WE ARE THE BEST..🤘 DON’T BRING TRASH TO OUR CITY OR SURROUNDING AREAS
Geno how is the supply of homes in the 450,000 to $550,000 range
Great question! It’s getting way better. We are seeing some good values in that price range right now.
