Eliot Maine, Kittery Maine, York Maine – Real Estate Market Update – Oct. 1, 2008 to Dec. 31, 2008

Real estate in the Seacoast areas of Maine and New Hampshire has been up and down over 2008, with a little more up than the previous year.  Having said that, some towns fared better than others, both in New Hampshire and in Maine coastal towns.

Everyone knows someone who’s thinking about buying and/or selling real estate, and it’s very difficult to try to time the real estate market, no matter where you are.  Properties are selling, and those homes and condos that have sold have been priced properly for the market and for the condition of the condo or home.

Setting the correct price is so crucial in a market like the one we’re in, and have been in.  Buyers are internet-empowered, and they search for real estate and information on-line, many times long before they actually begin to work with an agent to see properties.  If the house or condo isn’t perceived to be a good value when it’s being viewed on-line, you rarely get a chance for those buyers to come see it in person because they’ve already ruled it out.

Another key component to getting your property sold is the exposure Maine or New Hampshire homes get.  The overwhelming number of buyers who begin their search on-line make it vital for you to choose an agent who understands that and utilizes the power of the internet.  Buyers come from all over the world, and because of that, Maine homes or condos need that same kind of on-line exposure.  Make sure the Maine REALTOR you’re considering hiring to represent you and your property as a strong on-line presence.  If they do, then they likely understand and use the internet to get the job done for their clients.
