Watch my next coming video. This is average price

My property tax in Nebraska was almost 4 times lower.....

@@kaiwenhe5518 No I meant real estate has jumped up 20,000. like the op said. He was talking about how much houses cost from 2023 t0 2024. I don't think the value of our home has gone up much. I think the value is around 350,000. or so Our taxes are 4000.00 a year now. They were 3200. So they went up 800.00 dollars this year.

Property taxes are not based upon the market value of your home. They are based on the assessed value of your home. We would all love to buy homes at the assessed value, but then if course sell them at the market value. The real issue with property taxes is not what they city or town assess your home for, it’s what the city or town needs to make to provide the services they believe their citizens should have. Right or wrong that’s the basis. Most never attend public hearings during budget time. We allow them to create a mill rate and then we bitch our taxes are too high. The saying you can’t fight City Hall is true but you can influence it if you start early. I have many examples of this when I lived in Saco and we started a committee called Saco Citizens for sensible taxes, which then turned into Saco Citizens for sensible government. Things changed because a light was shined on the challenges in the optics. The town didn’t want.

@ Yes of course you are correct. I was addressing two different things, and it might have come out wrong. I know it has to do with where you live and what kind of place you are living. Unorganized, industrial, ocean, ect..ect. Also what businesses are around. They do jump when a big tax payer goes under. Happens. I am a little ignorant but not completely stupid.

Also the heat is driving migrstion

Thank you. I appreciate all the support.

I’m sorry your state of being. Have you ever lived someplace different

Perhaps you should experience living in another area to compare how bad it is here. You may be surprised.

Appreciate the kind words, you’re welcome!

Well said, I agree we want to keep things nice and the Maine way, but thinking anyone who comes here is going to change the state, not so at these real estate prices

Yeah, it’s not the 80s anymore! Everything is expensive.

Thank you, Bill, Happy 2025. As a Patriot, Veteran, Husband, Father, now Grandfather, Son of Maine, my maker has blessed me throughout my life, even when I didn’t know it. When I’m finally called home, maybe tomorrow maybe years from now, when I cross that great divide, I won’t beg on my death bed for more time like the sorrows of men who live with regret wishing they had more time to do things over. I live my life for my family, for my friends, for the ones who I am put in their path to help. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us, I had to strip away my ego, my insecurities, my shame to realize we are here love one another, help one another, bend a knee to no one but the Lord, respect others even if their views are not yours, and lead by showing grace, being humble and believe I am, just like you and everyone else, a child of God, and he doesn’t make mistakes. Thank you for the kind words, thank you for supporting the channel. God Bless….stay in touch…..Scott

Why you here for 25 years then. Besides you want my clients coming because when shit hits the fan, you’re gonna want my crowd.

Most sparsely populated state east of the Mississippi. Not full, we need talent, maybe you can move out so it’s not so full.

Your mom needs talent. No more out-of-staters.

I’m not gonna engage in a childish response instead put it to you like this “Thank you for sharing your perspective. Maine’s beauty and opportunities make it an attractive place for many, and I understand concerns about maintaining the state’s unique character. However, bringing in diverse talent can help support local businesses, create jobs, and ensure Maine remains a vibrant and thriving community for future generations. I appreciate the conversation and encourage respectful dialogue as we all work toward what’s best for our state. The train is already underway and you either can hop on or get out of the way, or get run over, but either way it’s coming. your response is fear based which is a reflection upon you and your insecurities more than this great state of Maine. Good luck.

Cool. One of the tools a lot of out of state buyers use that I provide is a custom search stream that is set up from the criteria they give me. It’s free to them and they all really like it because not only is it custom to their wants but it has nice graphics and notifies them when something comes up matching their criteria. Most Realtors use the generic MLS search tool which is very clunky and vanilla. This is not that. You do need to provide an email and accept the cloud stream but after that it’s totally easy to customize and use. If you’re interested just let me know.

Congratulations on the BTC, I still don't get it or trust it but still feel sad that i didn't take that plumbing job for 20k bitcoin lolololol god help me! I've had a camp up in Moscow for 25 years and have recently been getting it ready for my exodus from this communist hell-hole called Massachusetts good luck !

You're welcome, nice to meet you too!

Brother, thank you for your service first and foremost. The people that I meet from northern Maine and the ones I know are the salt of the earth. I wish most of America had the type of people that “ the county” has, integrity, hardworking, trustworthy and their word is their bond. Keep up the good fight. When the day comes that you cross the great divide to come home to your maker, you will be rewarded for your time here. God Bless brother, merry Christmas.

They’re coming with or without me. But like attracks like. Most of my client are former military and honor and respect and I will always welcome them

@LiveLifeInMaine if they won't stand up for their home s , they won't stand for ours

If who won’t stand up for their home’s

Plenty available out there

Glad it was helpful!

Don't move here then. There is hardly any snow at all.

Hi there, per your request, here’s a quick update on Brunswick's real estate market for November: Average Sale Price: $566,071, slightly up from $561,183 in October. Active Listings: 39, compared to 34 in October. Sold Listings: 14, down from 24 the previous month. Sale-to-List Price Ratio: Increased to 104.5% from 101.5% in October. Days on Market (DOM): Up to 30 days from 28 in October. Months of Inventory: Increased to 2.79 from 1.42 in October. These figures suggest the market is slowing down, which is typical for this season. However, this also indicates the housing market in Brunswick is starting to normalize as we adjust to the new home values across the country. Median Home Value: $525,910, showing a modest increase of 0.08% from October and a notable 5.8% growth over the past year. If you have questions about these trends or are curious about buying or selling in Brunswick, feel free to reach out. I’m here to help!

The state is really divided up into 3 sections. In the winter Northern Maine which is above Bangor averages 10 to -20 degrees on average in the Winter, Bangor south except along the coast is 10-25 Degrees and along the cost, which includes Kennebunkport averages 25 to 35 degrees on average in the Winter, specifically late Dec, Jan, Feb, early March.

Over the past decade, Maine has consistently maintained one of the lowest crime rates in the United States. Here’s an overview of crime trends in Maine compared to national statistics: Violent Crime: • In 2022, Maine reported a violent crime rate of 103.3 incidents per 100,000 people, the lowest in the nation.  • The FBI’s 2023 data indicates a 3.0% decrease in violent crime nationwide compared to 2022.  Property Crime: • Maine’s property crime rate has remained relatively stable, with 32 crimes per 1,000 people in both 2021 and 2022.  • Nationally, property crime rates increased by 6.7% in 2022, marking the first rise since 2001.  Homicides: • Maine experienced 29 homicides in 2022, up from 18 in 2021. Despite this increase, the state’s homicide rate remains significantly below the national average.  • Nationally, the estimated number of murder and non-negligent manslaughter offenses decreased by 11.6% in 2023 compared to the previous year.  Overall Trends: • Maine’s overall crime rate has remained steady, with 44,373 crimes reported in 2022 compared to 44,637 in 2021.  • The state’s consistent low crime rates contribute to its reputation as one of the safest states in the nation. In summary, Maine has maintained low crime rates over the past decade, often outperforming national trends. While certain categories, such as homicides, have seen fluctuations, the state’s overall crime levels remain among the lowest in the U.S.

Lmao Winter in Maine has barely any snow and it barely gets cold.

Undocumented means either in the country without proper approval like crossing a boarded illegally or staying beyond permission like a visa expiration. Neither should be permitted.

@@LiveLifeInMaine I'm not saying illegal activity should be permitted, but it is ICE's responsibility to detain them, not local police. I can give you an analogy. Prostitution is illegal. If a prostitute is raped, she can report the crime without fear of being arrested herself for prostitution - it's police policy. It should be the same for immigrants who are here illegally. Otherwise they will perpetually be victimized by criminals who know that they will always get away with it.

It beat Boston, San Jose etc

That’s awesome. Please share where you heard that. Like to see what they said

@@LiveLifeInMaine It was on KRON 4 News which is a local Bay Area station in California. Not sure where they got the study but I'm sure you can inquire.

@@georgiahamilton4346 Yes, Portland is a great city in New England. One of the best one by far. The OP exaggerated the homeless problem. The whole country has a homeless problem, not just Portland.

Ironically there are a lot of farms houses built in the 1700’s peppered throughout Maine. Northern Maine is going to require the house to be wrapped tight, even so house that old are going to g to be drafty. Lots of wood for burning. Central Maine won’t be as cold depending on where you are but still going to require the home to be winter proof as much as possible. If you have never lived here I guess it would be like me living in Odessa in the middle of summer. You’re in for an adventure but I can promise you it will be rewarding.
