Replace, Repair A Maine Home Hammering Heard But...

Maine is a small population big area state and the housing is low cost.

So despite the thrifty nature of our residents to make do with what they have, the DIY to take it up a notch.

The simple fact remains that all the low cost houses for sale in Maine make it cheaper often to make the big move.maine farm dream house photo

Cross town, out in the country or to a lake, something waterfront for a new pleasant boundary.

Where your neighbor is more apt to be four legged, furry, not so talkative.

Cheaper to replace than repair or modify to fit your situation in life is often the case on relocations, the move to and in, around Maine home circles.

So a home for sale sign shows up and the marketing band starts up the chorus to attract the attention. For the pass the keys please at the real estate closing.

(Those house keys are not used, we don't lock doors in the fourth lowest crime state. Folks respect your space. You return the favor.)

I know, so so different living day to day, seeing the lower price tags worn on the properties here. Compared to, than witnesses as the norm in other real estate markets outside of the great state of Maine.

The one dubbed Vacationland and we all read the reminder. Get the memo stamped on the bottom of every license plate in the Pine Tree State.
