I agree, I can't believe the prices for property up there, Not my dream destination anymore because of greedy people and they think that these prices are terrific 😡😡😡😡😡
Maine is great in the summer, but summer is so short. Maine is too expensive for us native Mainers. We can’t afford to live in our own home state. Maine weather is harsh for most of the year. Like my Dad said to me, “You’re always preparing for winter.” That’s why my Dad and brother moved to Florida and my sister to N. Carolina. Us Mainers always live with winter in mind. So, I really can’t see why prices in Maine are so ridiculously high. Maine only has something to offer during the very short summer. I would say rent something in summer and don’t buy for a summer home.
It's a lovely little place, but that price is ridiculous. The average Mainer couldn't afford that. That's geared for an out of state buyer thinking it's a bargain.
So everyone seems concerned about an “outsider” moving in here. They apparently do NOT like out of state people. I don’t want to move anywhere I’m not welcomed…for any price. Maybe they are mostly struggling there instead?
I hear that but not everyone had the same opinion. We had seven offers, four of them over $700,000. I also work with buyers and it IS challenging to find the right place.
