The Drift Toward Maine Real Estate Shift
A Parmer reports a strong drift toward Maine amid home seekers from across the Northeast. In the past year his Augusta dealer’s agency sold seventy farms, with 150 since June 1900, many by parties from outside Maine. Average family capital cited at 2000 to 4000 dollars, adding substantial wealth to Maine. Twenty three farms were unoccupied, bought as investments. Counties involved include Lincoln, Penobscot, Oxford, Sagadahoc, Franklin, Somerset, and Kennebec. Reasons cover old age, widows, and seeking a change, with northern and southern states sending new buyers. Authorities expect further regional inflow and rural growth in five years. Wood’s Norway Pine Syrup ad mention.
