Sell your home - Move to Greece, Giant Santa shortage

from Coffee with Real Estate · host Susan

#RetireInGreece, #GoldenVisa, #ExpatLife, #RetireAbroad, #BabyBoomerMoves, #HomeDepotSantaCrisis, Grab your coffee (and maybe a bear claw) because Susan and Kurt are back with the most laid-back, laugh-out-loud real estate chat on the internet!This episode starts exactly how every great morning should: arguing over the best donut (Team Shipley’s glazed vs. Team bear claw) before diving into the hottest retirement trend nobody saw coming — Greece just stole the #1 spot on the 2025 International Living Retirement Index, dethroning longtime favorites Portugal and Panama.We break down the jaw-dropping numbers: a couple can live comfortably on the Greek coast for under $2,000 a month, snag seaside rentals from €700, and enjoy 300 sunny days a year, world-class Mediterranean food, and some of the friendliest residency programs on earth (Golden Visa or the retiree “financially independent” permit). Susan and Kurt debate the dream versus reality — stunning white-washed villages and turquoise water are great… until you remember 45°C summer heat waves, late-night dinners at 10 p.m., and the fact that “sga sga” (slowly slowly) might actually kill Type-A Americans.From bureaucracy nightmares and overcrowded public hospitals to the magic of popping over to Italy or Austria for the weekend, we give you the unfiltered truth about retiring abroad when you’re not ultra-wealthy.And because it wouldn’t be Coffee With Real Estate without a wild detour, we expose the national crisis nobody’s talking about: the 2025 Home Depot giant lawn ornament shortage. Yes, grown adults are driving hours and paying 7× retail for 12-foot skeletons and 8-foot Santas. Clark Griswold is crying somewhere.If you’ve ever wondered whether selling the house, storing the Christmas blow-ups, and moving to a Greek island is genius or insanity — this episode is for you. Funny, honest, and zero filter — just like Sunday morning with friends.#RetireInGreece, #GreeceRetirement, #GoldenVisa, #ExpatLife, #RetireAbroad, #MediterraneanLiving, #CoffeeWithRealEstate, #BabyBoomerMoves, #HomeDepotSantaCrisis, #LivingOn2000AMonth
