It May Be That Way Where You Are, But You Are Not Talking The Maine Real Estate Market.

Five Maine real estate property listing closings today.

When I read about markets where the blogger, reporter maine boy beach seagullstates how dire it is, I worry about the public getting the impression that broad brush statement wears well, applies to the entire country.

It does not.

When you try to compare a market where $400,000 plus is the house price norm for the single family residence to one where $71,000 is the median price, a square hole with round peg situation happens.

And when the owner of a home with lots of zero places in the price tag or mortgage loses his job, they bleed out quickly.

Like a major artery has been severed, sliced down through with a loud dangerous tissue, muscle and bone splintering spinning tooth chainsaw roar.

But contrast that with the no or small mortgage on a rural market home which actually figures out cheaper than rent.

And if the owner of the home runs a tight ship where money is not needed to fuel his happiness.

Where most of his fun, recreation is no or low cost. Maine is that kind of state, provides a text book example of that scenario. 

Money is not the end all in small town living in rural America. Maine, check her out one photo at a time.

S and D .... you can say that again three times fast.

Gita ... Thanks Gita, snapped that at Sand Beach in Maine while four kids and I were enjoy the beautiful sunny day in the sand, under the sun and cobalt blue sky. This little fellow was trying to get back a french fry that the sea gull latched on to!

Cal ... Good thinking. Not every buyer, seller wants to be on camera. This guy with a red addiction did for my interview though. I had three closings set up but two more that were done through the mails arrived on time today so it ended up five closings. So far today. (Smile)
