Midcoast Maine Foreclosure Properties for 1st Time Buyers

Sunday, July 27, 2008

A couple of new foreclosures have come on the market this week and are certainly worth noting. As mentioned in a prior blog Midcoast Maine Foreclosure Properties, first time buyers are attracted to the bank owned properties because of their affordability.

The following properties are located in the rural areas of Midcoast Maine, are fairly new construction and have been left in reasonable condition. (Many foreclosure properties are in a distressed state). These homes may offer buyers an opportunity to get into a home at a reasonable price.

1824 West Appleton Road in Appleton. A large three bedroom cape, with farmers porches (2) and a stone fireplace. Large lot bounded by stonewalls and woods. Priced at $134,900.FMI: www.VictoriaCondon.com/1824WestAppleton

45 Metsa Lane in Warren. Gently used 2006 Ranch on a 1.02 acre lot. Three bedrooms, a full basement and an open kitchen/dining/living room floor plan. Priced at $144,900. FMI: www.VictoriaCondon.com/45Metsa

You should note that the majority of bank owners don’t allow extra contingencies (conditions) in their contracts. This can make the buying process a bit more challenging. In the rural areas of Midcoast Maine and those served by water wells and septic systems this often creates issues. Many of the banks who provide loans to buyers will require a water test on private wells. This is to make certain that water is potable or safe to drink. There are ways to accommodate this. It takes creativity and a good understanding of the foreclosure buying process.

If you want more information on the above properties or if I can help you through the foreclosure buying process then please conact me: vcondon@jaretcohn.com

South Thomaston ME Home for Sale

Sunday, July 20, 2008

If you haven’t figured it out, I am quite fond of South Thomaston. The village center is small but it offers that home town community feel. One thing I do notice is that many of the young adults who have grown up in this town have come back. They are buying or building their first homes. That itself speaks volumes.

The village sits on Route 73 at the Weskeag River. The post office, an inn, library, historical society, The Keag (local shop with good sandwiches and a few grocery items) and an art studio all rest within walking distance to each other. The town’s public landing is just across the road. And the view up and down the Weskeag River from the landing is quite beautiful. There is a comfortable home town feel as you stop or pass through town.

Not too long ago I wrote about a piece of land for sale in South Thomaston Maine. It’s just the Saint George Road. Today I have a South Thomaston house for sale to share with you.

I’ve listed darling two bedroom home located on Westbrook Street. It sits well off the road and is tucked into the trees. You could drive down the road many times and never realize there was a house there. This property would make someone a perfect Maine summer home or year round residence. My first visit was on a warm summer day. There was a gentle breeze that came through the house and I found myself wanting to spend my afternoon sitting on the deck. The trees kept the house cool. The inside of the home is charming. The living room, kitchen and eating area share the same room. The open floor plan gives this home a greater since of space. The location is fantastic. A short drive drops you into the South Thomaston Village or into downtown Rockland.

There is another South Thomaston home coming on the market this week. A three bedroom expanded ranch that looks out over a field towards the Weskeag River. Visit my website next week for details on the property: www.victoriacondon.com

Build your dream home in South Thomaston Maine

Sunday, June 22, 2008

Hi all, I'm anxious to share my new land listing with you.

Located in South Thomaston and on the Saint George Pennisula in coastal Midcoast Maine, this lovely parcel of land will make an ideal home site. The marjority of the lot is meadow (this means no trees to clear!). And this time of year the meadow is a perfect shade of green and is scatterd with beautiful wildflowers. South Thomaston Land

This parcel is located just off of the Saint George Road not too far past Westbrook Street. The property is accessed by a 50' right of way that gently slopes away from the road and towards the Saint George River. A quick trip down Westbrook Street will drop you off in the South Thomaston Village where you'll find the Keag Store (You must try their crab rolls), The Art of the Sea Gallery (Hi, Tad and Joan), The Post Office, Historical Society, Library and South Thomaston's Public Landing. I'm quite partial to South Thomaston. It is a small community with a coastal flare yet it is so close to downtown Rockland and Thomaston.

Go check out the land. Look for the Jaret & Cohn Real Estate sign on the right hand side of the Saint George Road just after you pass the Harjula Farm and Westbrook Street.

Just over 2 acres and priced at $37,000!
