About Lincoln County, ME

Southport Island Maine I took this video with my cell phone back in July of 2011. I'm a sleepy head and don't often rise in time to see the sun rising but when I do it's always special. Jay and I were camping and had guests with us who were sleeping in the front of the motor home when I caught this outside my camper window. We were camping at Gray Homestead in Southport Island Maine which is a small island off of BoothBay Harbor. Isn't it beautiful? This video was recorded in July 2011 via my Droid Thunderbolt and even though it was a "cell" phone video I thought it came out pretty good and wanted to share the pretty sunrise with you all.

This represents 65% and 26% increases respectively. Month over month this was the first price increase of the year and if I had statistics for all of last year, it may be the first price increase in well over a year.
These are strong signs that the southern and coastal Maine real estate markets are significantly improving helped by the low interest rates and a return of strength to the stock market.
