299Trail

A media company covering Shasta, Trinity, and Humboldt, run by an agent who sells here.

We Think You Should Move Here.

And here's why

Shasta, Trinity, and Humboldt along Highway 299 have great landscapes, are reasonably priced, and have good people.

I’m Josiah. An agent based here out of Redding CA. If you have questions about buying or selling real estate (or just a question about the area) shoot me a message.

299Trail covers the market, the community, and the places that make the corridor special. We do all of this, so you can feel what it’s like before your first trip.

Why Move Here?

Life along the 299 Corridor means more space, more time, and more room in your budget. Homes in Shasta, Trinity, and Humboldt counties cost about a third of Bay Area prices, and lakes and forest trails are minutes from home. See how the corridor compares below.
