New Listings galore!!!!

I'm happy to share 3 new listings! Tis the season, and so far so good with the incredible spring weather we've been having here in Bar Harbor!! I have a great feeling about the upcoming season. It seems that all the buyers I've talked with recently are realizing the bottom of the market is here and NOW is the time to invest in real estate.

Thank you Mr. Dow Jones...helping out the consumer confidence a little.

MDI Young Professionals Host First Meeting

Finally, after over a year of talking about it we officially launched the group MDI Young Professionals. At the first meeting there were over 20 Young Professionals which really shows how much of a need there is for something like this. I am so excited to get the ball rolling and grow this group from our informal "thirsty Thursday" crowd to a real deal networking group of young professionals that will actually make a difference in community growth and development. At this point we've all agreed to let the group shape into what it will be, without too much formality, hoping that will keep it real.

Here are a few pictures from our first meeting held at Side Street Cafe in Bar Harbor.

We'll host a meeting the last Thursday of each month, with the next one being April 29th at Leary's Landing Irish Pub in Bar Harbor.

busy busy busy!!

I am happy to say I am really busy lately! Whether this is Spring Fever or what - I am impressed with it!

I had a call on Saturday night to show one of my listings on the following morning - I called my client who was THRILLED to have a showing even with the late notice.

I've had many email inquiries from people that I hadn't heard from in months - which gives me hope! I've also been trying to contact some of my old contacts who have been just casually looking for something to buy. NOW is the greatest time to buy!

Most buyer's I'm dealing with right now are very patient, and most importantly want a deal.

I was looking through listings the other day, and seriously, some things have been on the market for 3 + years! I think these Days On Market numbers are a great bargaining tool for a buyer .

I have a feeling it will continue to pick up as the weather gets warmer.

Summer in and around Mount Desert Island is amazing - and luckily the natural beauty draws many people to the area, a bonus for the real estate industry.
