I tried hiring a professional videographer for today's video! What do you guys think?

I grew up in Sammamish. It’s really nice but when I lived there in the 1990’s a 2,500 sq ft house was $250,000. Now it’s $2,000,000. It’s just way too unaffordable for 99% of the population.

Paying that much for a house only to get like 4 feet of backyard "space" is a no-go in my book.

This town looks lovely but I have a feeling I'd need a car to get around with limited bike/walk/transit options. I'll probably stick to Seattle for now.

My friend took me to the lake when I did an overnight trip to Seattle/Surrounding area in June. Very peaceful and serine, and great for photos (which is what we did). I love visiting less-touristy places as a tourist

When you haven't watched a Monica Church video in a while and forget how good she is at making them

Adding the videographer who kept the camera moving really added quite the touch to this presentation. Great stuff!

Fantastic property & city tour! I love the outdoor space in the home. Thank you for sharing.

It’s my city! The one frustration is the lack of good dog parks. Other than that, everything is great-Costco and Trader Joes nearby, great schools, family environment, actual sidewalks…

Everything you said is spot on. I would add that with all those homes and limited access points from that plateau, traffic and the commute can be annoying. And since it’s a somewhat newly incorporated city, it feels more like a bedroom community with basic services without a ’downtown’ and definitely lacks a variety of restaurants or shopping. We lived next door in Redmond for 25 years and know it well.

$635/sq ft is totally insane for a house!

This looks like a dream city, I always said I belong in Washington lol. One day I’ll escape Arizona

Interesting these homes are so large given that people are having smaller families, if they're starting a family at all. All the new builds here are HUGE with opulent entries, two living rooms (why?) and massive kitchens (sometimes with a butler kitchen, again, why?)... yet the yard isn't large enough to plant a tree in. 😐

45 minutes to Bellevue 75 minutes to Seattle The traffic to, within, and getting out of Sammamish will drive you to drinking

Great post! That word… sammamish is so funny! 😂

You did an excellent job! I’m so shocked at how expensive it is!

Monica you have done a spectacular job on showing us your city.. definitely visiting soon😊

Bruh how is audio so coherent 🔥 great job 👏 always such good quality Monica

My only problem with Seattle is the lack of sunshine for few months, but other than that it is so gorgeous ❤

this was my beautiful sunset view when i used to work for contract back in 2018 ,Redmond WA

I'm an admin at one of our local real estate offices. Love your videos. I'd like to encourage more of my agents to use video in their marketing and possibly starting a youtube channel. Great content! Cheers from Montana!

The Video as a whole looks super professional! It looks so much documentary style video!

Other advantages... low crime compared to other east side cities, and the commercial area around 228th is walkable and safe for children.

I’d be super interested in seeing the floating house community on Lake Union. There aren’t many videos which is a shame cause it’s really unique

It's crazy to see how much Sammamish and Issaquah have exploded since the 90's. My grandma's family founded Issaquah in the 1860's and she always comments on how much it has changed, even since she was raising kids (back then, Issaquah was kind of a small farming town, and she was literally related to half the residents). She and my grandpa were priced out back in 1994. The schools there are great though!

I enjoy your videos but I wanted to see more of the town itself, I feel like you keep turning it into selling a house which I understand you’re a real estate agent, but I would really appreciate more time in the video spent on showing more of the city itself and not only focusing on really expensive homes.

What is the city doing about walkability? I know most places are very very car dependent but I’m wondering if they are doing anything to make it more like what notjustbikes (KZfaqr on urban planning and design) talks about.

It’s beautiful out there wow thanks for sharing that inspiring

IDK how a city can be voted #1 with suburban hell sprawl and virtually no walkability.

Q: How many banks do you have to rob to be able to afford a place in Sammamish, WA? A: A lot !

All your vlogs are great.

Great video!

Beautiful city. It looks like a Hollywood set. The vegetation looks like the vegetation in The X Files. Gr8 vid as usual. 🎥 🇺🇸 🏡 🌺

UGH I JUST LOVE REAL ESTATE! Trying to figure out how to claw my way out of being poor so I can afford a home one day haha. Great video, I can totally tell you have a professional videographer here, the shots look amazing!

Your videos always makes me want to leave Cali and move to Washington! 😍

Beautiful video , great info .

I’m glad new law does not allow seller to pay buyer commission. Want all these greedy agents to stop ruin cities

Shhh, I’m about to move there!

Sammamish is a suburb of Seattle. Not really a "small" city. Houses used to be $200,000 15 years ago, but are now 10X that. Ridiculous appreciation. Property taxes will be $1000/month or more now.

I still cannot get used to the crazy prices of homes on the west coast. Yikes!!!!

6:30 I literally added a 0, so 5000 as well. Man

Nice to see you back on your 'A' game. Dressing so well too, very schmick. The videographer is a nice touch and allows you to focus on delivery including dress sense. Must be nice not to have worry about the filming side of things. Videographer did an excellent job 🪃🪃🦘🦘🤗🤗.

amazing homes. americans are keen on bathrooms. we are lucky to get two at most

Love learning abt new places

Great videos❤

So nice!

I grew up in Sammamish!!

Cool! Best city in America... for people who have 2.5 million to spend on a home. Lol.

can you review city of Bellevue, please.. anyway i have question: is Clyde Hill part of Bellevue? or is it independent town that separated from Bellevue?

So much info , goodbye LA ... Sammamish here I come .

What I don't get... one pays several million dollars for a luxurious house and yet you still get these ugly eyesores of an electricity- and gasmeter on the outside wall (at 4:18). Over here that stuff is neatly hidden behind a door in the hallway. That said, you presented this video very well 👍

Best city for millionaires!

Hey Monica , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .

I went to high school there (Eastlake). I hated it because people weren’t friendly lol

950 square feet condo For $525 thousand! Only place for sale today.

Raised in Eastgate outside of Bellevue in the early 1960's and now live in kitsap county .. nice area.

Beautiful house, i wanna buy one 🙂

I wish one day the waste is shame, not a glory.

The Best small city at the price of destroying the very nature you yearn for. You all love the Evergreen trees, but the first thing you do is cut them down because your afraid they will fall on you or your house. And of course you can't have cougars and bears walking the Neiborhood's so they have to be killed. In the end you'll wind up just another concrete city. So why not give the nature a break and just move to Seattle.

Im interested in auctions foreclosures.

what percent of your subs could afford this home? .00001%

Thoughts on the rain shadow region (Townsend, Sequim and Port Angeles)?

Sure. If you can afford to live there.

Homes aren't exactly affordable unless you started a tech company.

They had all that fancy kitchen and didn’t even bring the cabinets to the ceiling? Looks cheap

Hey I grew up there! Still have my 425 number

showed home price?

Looks like a ghost town! Where are the people?

The homes are too close together to one another.

Cops are assholes, everyone in Samammish drives like assholes and are stuck up. There isn’t any good restaurants, you have to go to Bellevue to eat, and even then, finding parking in Bellevue is tough. The only thing cool about Sammamish is the Metropolitan Market 😂

5:00

You forgot to mention that Lake Sammamish is where Ted Bundy used to look for his victims!

I thought Sequim was the best?

If you are looking to launder $2.475 Million from Asia, a lovely 2nd home from your main residence in Switzerland or you have $500,000-$1 million sitting around for a down payment then this one is for you. You’ll love watching Seahawk games too with your reasonable $15,000 mortgage payment😂

Can you buy a 3,000 sq foot home for under 2 million?

SAM Mam is H. H could be hell or heroine or maybe heroin. Not a lot of people call a Sam a mam.

Um no. Way too cold.

I live in the area, most people are Chinese, very few white families can afford it. The Chinese are great people very smart.

Why are you opening up all the secret locations. People want to live peaceful and private. And you inviting all the bad actors and weird ppl out of state.

compass is the worst co
