Second realtor just left. She'll get back to me with a suggested price tomorrow or Saturday AM. She seemed favorably impressed, so I guess we shall see.
A bit of explanation. The "town" of Gouldsboro consists of seven villages, of which Prospect Harbor (my home) is one. The next one up the road, about 3 miles away, is Birch Harbor. She just sold a small house - 1000ish sq. ft. - on two acres, no water frontage or view, in 12 hours. Asking was $310K, sold for $350K after a bidding war. That gives me hope we may be able to get enough equity out of this place to build our dream.
If the numbers work, I'll talk Maw into going for it. If not, we'll dig up a couple of those coffee cans full of cash in the back yard and spruce this place up a little and call it good.
Nice! I keep reading that there is a housing shortage, we just recently sold my mother in laws house, she went into assisted living, the house sold the first day it was on the market, in fact there was a bidding war and it sold for more than we were asking. I’ve seen some of your photos showing your coastline and it looks pretty as a postcard! Good luck with your listing!
