January was not only banner month for snowfall in the state it was a super month for home sales localy here in Aroostook county! Again proving that real estate markets are local and driven by factors not related to the dismal news constantly beraded by the national news networks. The Maine Real Estate Information System is reporting Aroostook county single family home sales increasing 12.85 % in comparison to January 2007. Staewide sales decreased 28% for January 2008. This years large near record snowfall for the state may have had some influence however that trend was not the case for our area. (0 comments)
