Guam is known as a gateway to Asia, with weekend trips to Japan, Palau, or the Philippines just a few hours away. But with rising airfare and travel fatigue on the rise, many locals are choosing to stay home—and still get away.

Enter the Guam staycation.

With zero airport stress, no packing list, and no pet-sitting required, staycations let you unwind without the logistical hassle. Whether you're looking for a quiet solo escape, a romantic weekend, or full-blown family fun, Guam offers countless places to explore.

Here are the top staycation spots across the island for 2025—each one offering a unique way to relax, recharge, and fall in love with Guam all over again.

Finding an affordable, move-in-ready home on Guam isn’t easy. The housing market here is competitive, and if you’ve been searching, you’ve probably noticed two things:

1. The best homes get snatched up fast.
   
   
2. Many homes on the market are way beyond what most Buyers can afford.

If you’re feeling frustrated, you’re not alone. A lot of Buyers are either priced out of newer, updated homes or forced to compromise on location, condition, or budget.

But there is a way to make homeownership more affordable while still getting the home you actually want.

That’s where the FHA 203(k) Limited loan comes in. And no, we’re not lenders, but as real estate experts in Guam, our TEAM has seen firsthand how this loan can open doors for Buyers who are willing to see the potential in a home.

And this isn’t just good news for Buyers—it can benefit Sellers too.

Guam’s housing crisis is a growing concern, affecting residents at every income level. Inventory is tight, prices are high, and trying to build a home comes with significant challenges. A recent discussion featuring Ryan Mummert, President of Pinpoint Guam Real Estate and  General Manager at Title Guaranty of Guam and Tae Oh, Vice President of Vantage Advertising and PSI Holding LLC, former member of the Guam Land Use Commission, and Chairman of the Guam Chamber of Commerce, shed light on the core issues and potential solutions to this ongoing problem.

The numbers are in, and the February 2025 Guam real estate market showed some important changes for both Sellers and Buyers. Whether you were selling or buying last month, knowing what happened in the market can help you make informed decisions moving forward.

Our Living On Guam TEAM has reviewed the data, and here’s what you need to know.

 Transporting your Fur Babies to Guam:

Moving is never easy, but moving with pets can be even trickier, especially if your destination is Guam. There are some exceptions, however, for those that are on PCS status. While orders are not required upon booking, the service member must be in PCS status for moving the pet on the Patriot Express. According to the AMC (Air Mobility Command) website, the Patriot Express offers limited pet flights. Slots are given on a “first-come, first-served basis.” Each family is limited to two pets. The best advice is to PLAN AHEAD! Start by contacting your Traffic Management Office/Installation Transportation Office as early as possible. The next step would be to plan for all the necessary immunizations and documents required.
