Our April showers brought May flowers, and spring finally! You wouldn't believe how beautiful Brunswick is in the spring, or how well it's doing in the Southern Maine real estate market! In the first quarter of 2014, transaction volume was up 22%, with 45 homes sold compared to 37, and median prices were down by 8%. In a market this good, don't be surprised if the second quarter is just as good, if not better! So what's so great about Brunswick, anyway? Not only is it the home of Bowdoin College, it's also an ideal place to raise a family. With great schools and a warm and welcoming community, you'll be glad that you decided to give Brunswick a chance! Want to know more?

In the first quarter of 2013, the Brunswick Maine's local real estate market saw a total of 37 residential transactions occur with an average sold price of 205K.  This contrasts sharply with 2012 when 25 homes sold at an average sold price of 170K. Thus, there has been a transaction volume increase of 48% and a median price increase of 21%. Coming up on June 22, Brunswick will host the 5th Annual Taste of Brunswick event. There will be special culinary and musical experiences from 11 am to 4 pm.  Many of the downtown restaurants will have many great foods and drinks to try throughout the day.

JONATHAN LEVITT FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE The Bowdoin College Museum of Art. There is no harbor here, no wooden sailboats, no weathered wharves, no lobster in the rough. The vista viewers and steamer clam feasters drive right through, hurrying along to the island-studded bays and coastal mountains just down the road. Their loss. Unlike so many of Maine’s more picturesque villages, most of Brunswick, possibly because of its lack of scenery, does not feel like a tourist town. The downtown, full of grand old houses and specimen trees, sprawls between the old mills and Androscoggin River rapids to the ivy and tweed of Bowdoin College. The Fort Andross Mill complex, a 100,000-square-foot former cotton mill, still stands on the shore of the river facing the wild falls, and is now full of artist, ...

This represents a 19% volume drop year over year as the snow and harder winter made conditions in mid coastal Maine less than ideal Median pricing clocked in at 200K, compared with 202K for the same time period illustrating that despite the slower volume figures pricing in the market continues to remain stab.

Brunswick, Maine is Best Place to Live - Angus' "Top 10" List! Maine's former Governor, Angus King, spoke last week at the Brunswick Downtown Association's(BDA) annual meeting and gave his "Top 10 List" of why Brunswick, Maine is the best place to live.  Please note, these are Governor King's Top 10 items, but my commentary: 1.      "Walk-ability" - Yep, I checked WalkScore - 98 out of 100 - not to shabby! 2.     Brunswick's Merchants - Friendly folk, one and all! 3.     Amenities - he specifically mentioned flower-lined median strips (planted by volunteers), the Androscoggin River Bicycle & Pedestrian Path and the Brunswick Mall (this is not a shopping mall, but a grassy park-like area along Maine Street where, in spring, summer and fall, you can find food carts, the weekly farmers mar...

Create Jobs and Home Buyers Will Come I don't know about you, but most of my transactions this year have been first-time home buyers, cash sales, short sales and foreclosures - not a move-up buyer in the batch!  While tax credits were nice and low interest rates are a plus, they aren't helping real estate sales at all price points.  If you have to sell in order to buy, you could still be pretty much stuck.  And sales in the lower price ranges now seem to be drying up, too, as good inventory gets snapped up quickly.  For Buyers in the low $100,000's range, real estate agents in my territory are tripping over each other showing the same dozen properties to our buyers.  We no longer can even say that there is lots of inventory - just stale properties still on the market because of location...

 The residential real estate markets of Brunswick saw 13 transactions take place at a median sold price of 173K and a median days on market of 99 in December 2009 contrasting with 11 homes sold at a median sold price of 260K after sitting on the market for 198 days in December 2008. This represents a transaction volume increase of 18% and a pricing decrease of 33%, but given the smaller sample size a discernable trend is challenging to find from this data. This southern ME housing market does continue to see signs up improvement taking all the results of 2009 into account.
