      <title>January Maine House Sales</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;MAINE ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS&amp;nbsp; E-NEWS&lt;br /&gt;Monday, February 25, 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;January Home Sales Press&amp;nbsp; Release&lt;br /&gt;PRESS RELEASE:&amp;nbsp; In a press release to the Maine&amp;nbsp; media today, MREIS&lt;br /&gt;reports single-family real estate sales decreased over 28%&amp;nbsp; during January&lt;br /&gt;2008, compared with January 2007, with a total of 495 homes being&amp;nbsp; sold.&lt;br /&gt;Statewide median sales prices for those homes dipped&amp;nbsp; just over 2% to a&lt;br /&gt;median sales price of $185,000. The median sales&amp;nbsp; price indicates that&lt;br /&gt;half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for&amp;nbsp; less.&amp;nbsp; While&lt;br /&gt;prices decreased&amp;nbsp; overall, several Maine Counties experienced double-digit&lt;br /&gt;price gains during the&amp;nbsp; month of January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nationwide, real estate sales were down 22.4% from&amp;nbsp; January 2007. &lt;br /&gt;According to&amp;nbsp; NAR, the median existing single-family home price dipped&lt;br /&gt;5.1% to&amp;nbsp; $198,700. The Northeastern United States experienced a 25.7% &lt;br /&gt;regional decrease in sales.&amp;nbsp; However, NAR reported that prices rose 3.1%&lt;br /&gt;to $270,800 in the past&amp;nbsp; year.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANALYSIS&lt;br /&gt;Buyers, now is a great time to get out and take advantage of low interest&lt;br /&gt;rates, a large inventory, and a buyer&amp;#39;s market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sellers, it&amp;#39;s very important to price your home correctly and also use the&lt;br /&gt;right real estate agency to most effectively market your home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
