Beautiful property! Very cool house. The ceiling reminds me of a Deltec home. Walls too. Someone is going to love this place. Thanks for the tour Rick!😊
Actually the market is still very strong. There are only about 2000 residential properties for sale in Maine at the moment. Normally there would be 20,000.
You know making it up octagonal makes it like 50% harder 50% more saddle cuts then if it was Square although I guess each piece would weigh slightly less because of it being shorter
@@richardtheriault7624 Maybe you can do (or already did) an auction video to help people have a better idea how it all works. Or maybe film your next auction LIVE. I'd watch. Thanks Rich.
@Kookie Therapy Below is a video explaining the method. East coasters have not been exposed to real estate auctions much, so like anything new, there is hesitation and fear. In our opinion, this is better than the blind bidding that has been going on for several years now with conventional sales, with "escalation clauses" and other such things. So far, our closed auctions have had both buyer and sellers satisfied with the results. th-cam.com/video/YVVzgdxXq3M/w-d-xo.html
Auction sales used to be good but online auctions are a scam might as well tell people the reserve price even if it says no reserve it will be bid up to what they want
@@kenword3751 This is an opportunity for more people who may have an interest in such a property to buy it. There is only 1 property to be sold, so only 1 person may be successful in the auction. I fail to see where the scam is. Market price by definition is where a willing buyer and a willing seller meet. So what if it is a listed property or an auction?
That's a chuckle, I saw the land line phone which is a analog phone. I'm surprised that dialing it is still supported. I have one in my current home but all the lines are digital. I can talk on it, but cannot dial out on it. Its more of a conversation piece for my children's friends whom have never seen the old land line phone dial.
@@lovinwildlife2150 I have not had an opportunity to look underneath yet. Waiting for the snow to melt, but yes the skirting keeps snow and wind from blowing under the structure. I will be going up to look underneath, maybe the end of next week to get a picture or two.
@@bullishatresistance8830 If a *Mainer* and that includes me, wanted to sell my home. I sure as heck would want fair market value, not an Uncle Henry's free for the taking, offer.
@@richardtheriault7624 Hi Rick, these auctions may be selling properties quicker and easier than traditional sales, but I don't think it's doing much good for the image/brand of United Country Lifestyle Properties of Maine, in my humble opinion. It has really put me off.
@John Flynn Auctions are not selling good properties any faster than a conventional sale. The process is different no doubt, but the active buyers have found it a more transparent process and allows time to view a property better than many conventional sales. What is it about an auction you do not like?
I was thinking exactly the same thing, probably ten years since they cut anything! I wish it was not such short notice, only one month to decide if I really want this or not.. I am looking to move into Aroostook county. I'm currently in Oxford and have good credit! The year 1987 really peaked my interest because that is the same year as my one and only classic car. I will keep in touch if I really decide on this and go online.. Hopefully people have common sense and don't bid much higher than what a home like this would go for on the regular market.
Just giving more people an opportunity to buy it. Can't please everyone. If I listed it, and it sold in a week or two, I would get 20 phone calls asking to be called if something happened to the deal. The auction levels the playing field for buyers.
Sure. You just need to drain the water pump and interior cabin water lines before you shut off the power. People "winterize" properties up here all the time.
A bid at auction is just like signing a P&S. If you don't want the property you should not be bidding at auction nor writing a contract on a conventional sale. Backing out of an agreement can and should have consequences.
I put a level on the floor while there. It was spot on. You could see the framing levels in the video hanging on the wall. When the snow melts, come on up. I will let you crawl under there and check it out.
The neighbors use Pioneer Broadband which has very good reviews from other property owners that have the same service. Very fast, reasonably priced, and reliable company.
If you saw it online that is a place holder price from the National MLS that allows auctions to be posted. It says that on the site in the first paragraph of the description.

Thank you for showing this really unique property, I like it.
Glad you enjoyed it
That's a cool property. The cabin has a cool design.
Thanks for watching.

Thanks Val. I thought you would like this one.
Ooof another auction... People know the market hasn't got much longer. Scary times ahead.

Another Auction?? WTH
What a nice property. Love the log home
Us too!
As soon as he said auction I stopped the video 😢😢😢😢 no point in watching
No need to be scared. It is just a different way to sell things.

Cool I will bid 1.00 and I will tell everyone to let me win the auction!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Good luck.
I love this!

Thanks for watching and sharing. It is kind of weird to see the old style phones. We may all be better off if we brought them back.😉
Any updates on the auctions if reserve not met?
Snow load cracked the windows
I do not believe that is the case at all. But hey I only have an engineering degree, so what the hell do I know about anything?
Hey Rick what is the foundation? I'm wondering why plastic skirting around foundation, to keep snow away?
@@lovinwildlife2150 I have not had an opportunity to look underneath yet. Waiting for the snow to melt, but yes the skirting keeps snow and wind from blowing under the structure. I will be going up to look underneath, maybe the end of next week to get a picture or two.
Enough of the auctions getting greedy...
Not getting greedy, letting the buyers decide what the property is worth.
Now Mainers can get publicly outbid by out of staters running up the housing market haha *sheds tear*

Any idea of the opening bid?
@Eddie D Who are they? People like you?

Nothing is 'regular.'
What's that blue tarp around bottom for?
Skirting around the crawlspace to keep snow and wind from blowing under the cabin in the winter.
How does the auction thing work ?
Call 800-286-6164 ask for Morgan she will send you a bid package and explain how to register.
lota things popin off up there...?
I've been watching the auction and now it says unavailable. Does this mean the seller pull it off the market?
The seller received an offer outside the auction and opted to accept it.
If I didn't want the utilities could they sit dormit without problems
Sure. You just need to drain the water pump and interior cabin water lines before you shut off the power. People "winterize" properties up here all the time.
Very nice, are most of your properties going to be at auction from now on?
Thanks. How it is sold is up to the seller.
Not all, but some. Nationally, auctions are a very common method of selling real estate.
@@lifestyleproperties Where is the info to get in on the auction ?
If the buyer doesn't like the high bid at the end of the auction time, can they back out?
A bid at auction is just like signing a P&S. If you don't want the property you should not be bidding at auction nor writing a contract on a conventional sale. Backing out of an agreement can and should have consequences.
That doesnt answer the question
BS those windows cracked due to setteling or rotten foundations

Any cable TV or internet?
We have been using Starlink in Maine with good results.
Utility power landline telephone, cellular telephone, DSL internet, Starlink internet all available.
The neighbors use Pioneer Broadband which has very good reviews from other property owners that have the same service. Very fast, reasonably priced, and reliable company.
Do you let the people know what the Reserve ( Minimum price seller willing to take ) is ? I’m sure every property has one so why not post on video ?
No the reserve is confidential.
150,000 is the reserve for this?
If you saw it online that is a place holder price from the National MLS that allows auctions to be posted. It says that on the site in the first paragraph of the description.
This is nice what is the price.j

2023 google maps shows logging on the property. Logging roards cut 8n and timber being removed
I was there. No recent commercial harvesting has been done. Google maps is not live satellite feed.
