The Coastal Real estate communities of Phippsburg and Georgetown/Arrowsic saw 4 transactions take place with an average sold price of 232K and an average days on market of 365 in December 2008. This contrasts with 3 homes sold at an average price of 200K after sitting on the market for 44days on average in December 2008.The markets in lower mid coastal Maine have been and will continue to be slow as the 2nd home buyer is effectively stopped buying property given the state of the economy.

Phippsburg is a large peninsula off of the city of Bath that juts South into the ocean and is about 45-1 hr from Portland. It has a year round population of about 2000 and in the summer it blossomes to about 5000. Home to Popham Beach State park and tons of hiking trails and areas to explore I grew up here and continue to summer in this wonderful location. Lots of micro communities with a mix of fishing villages, summer communities, year round living and Sebasco Harbor Resort with a 9 hole golf course, there iis tons of waterfront real estate primarily on the Kennebec and New Meadows rivers available. Overall the topography of the area lends itself to privacy with larger parcels and mostly wooded lots. The Phippsburg Maine real estate market is much more affordable than areas further south with a current inventory of 39 properties. Having seen 31 transactions at an average price of 274K in 2007, one can find great waterfront/view property in the 500K range.

The coast of Maine. Beautiful in all seasons, but as summer turns to Fall. Here are a
couple of shots from the coastal community of Phippsburg Maine, a varied community of about 2000 or so year round residents. From working waterfront to wonderful sand beaches including the famous Popham Beach State Park, one can be to Bath in 10-15 minutes and Portland in less than an hour. A great blend of locals and retired parties from away there are real estate options for each and every discerning buyer from simple year round capes to expansive summer home villas.

All parents are familiar with the dreaded "I'm Bored" refrain that children everywhere have perfected. Delivered at a certain pitch and repeated enough times, it can drive any parent crazy.

Not just from the variety of fishing spots, beaches, etc., but from actual organized activities provided for people of all ages. We are definitely a close-knit community and enjoy getting together after the work is done. To help provide activities for our residents, the Recreation Committee was created.
