Saturday Solds

   Okay, the banks have passed their stress tests, Chrysler and GM are going to be allowed to go bankrupt and the world is still turning and the swine flu is turning out to be just another bad cold. So how is the real estate market in mid coast Maine you ask?  Well, let me tell you.  It is improving.  Prices are down and some people are getting some pretty good buys.  Here's a few properties that have sold recently:

 

   This home above, with 18 acres of land, beautifully sited on Boyd Pond in Bristol, sold for $550,000 after 129 days on the market.

 

   This home in Jefferson, with convenient boating access to Damariscotta Lake sold for $251,000 after 552 days on the market.

 

   This 2004 home with many custom features is located on 7 acres in the rural community of Somerville and sold for $235,000 after only 42 days on the market.

 

   With beautiful views of the open ocean from Ocean Point in Boothbay, this cottage sold mostly furnished for $440,000 as soon as it came on the market.

If you've been considering purchasing property in Maine's beautiful mid coast, isn't it time you called your broker?
