Buyers may want to understand the market that they are shopping in first of all.....for example Biddeford is a little different from Ogunquit....and the prices will dictate that....
It is nice to see buyers doing their homework over the internet before seeking to see a property, but keep in mind that many properties out there are in an up side down loan and sellers can decrease their prices just so far....
It is important for agents to educate their buyers, for example, a seller has a large mortgage on a property...it is important to know this before trying to just make a low ball offer....in todays market many sellers are either just breaking even or needing to come to the closing with cash.

Location Characteristics: Wells is located in York County, and was the third town established in Maine, incorporated on July 5, 1653 from a portion of the town of Webbannet.
Named by Sir Fernando Gorges for the English city of the same name, Wells was first settled in 1641. It has the distinction of being the only Maine town not conquored during the various French and Indian wars between 1650 and 1730.
Its spectacular beaches have made it an attraction for centuries. Ogunquit, the resort community, was part of Wells until 1980.
