Bath, ME

For the month ending May 2011 Bath Maine saw 9 homes sell at a median sales price of 175K representing a yearly volume decrease of 36% but a pricing increase of 26%. Like most of the lower mid coastal housing market.. prices have continued to stabilize, but volume has remained down..partly due to the expiration of the housing tax credit of last year artificially increasing results a year prior. The current inventory of homes on the market in Bath is up to around 100.. a fairly average number for this time of year.

 For the 1st quarter ending March 31st 2011, the residential Bath Maine real estate markets saw 16 home and condo sales transpire at a median sales price of 155K compared with 16 selling at a median sales price of 117K in 2010 and thus statistically showing a 32% pricing increase, but given the small sample size the statistical figure is skewed as overall the housing market remains stable.. with minor price change. As spring has arrived.. the Bath housing market has also seen an uptick in activity as of late though!

The residential real estate markets of Bath Maine saw 3 transactions take place at a median sold price of 176K after sitting on the market for 28 days in January 2011 . Given this extremely small sample size the only real trend one can discern is that housing activity in this mid coastal maine market is extremely slow!

Musicians Wanted - Move to Bath and Play in the Band!

I read in our local newspaper, The Times Record, the other day that the Bath Municipal Band is looking for some new folks to play along! They are recruiting musicians!

The Municipal Band is one of the really cool, throw-back to yester-year, kind of things about the City of Bath that I really love. Picture a warm, summer evening in Library Park. Young families, couples of all ages and singles (usually with a dog or two) are spread across the lawn, under to stately trees, on blankets or sitting in "bag" chairs; many enjoy a picnic supper and children have room to run, romp, dance anad enjoy the music. The band, in their red vests and straw boaters, is set up in the gazebo and strains of show tunes or patriotic songs waft through the night air. What a splendid way to escape the confines of your house and enjoy being out in your community with family and friends. Can you hear it?

I sure don't want this summer entertainment to disappear, so I hope musicians come to play in the band. Apparently, they have a special need for brass players, but openings exist in all sections except saxophones. So, come to Bath and join the band!

If you Move to Bath to Play in the Band, I'd be happy to help you find a home to live in!
