Hey Hue, Whats New? Color Update | Auburn Maine Homes For Sale



The new trendy Color update is Honeysuckle pink! It’s the “hot” new color of the year, according to Pantone, the world leader in color authority. A lively and energizing shade of reddish-pink, it could be a fun way to perk up a dark room, or if you’re just a wee bit more conservative, try it as a splash of color. We will soon see it in everything from small appliances, to table accessories and clothing. Another economical way to use this color to modernize the look of your home — whether you’re just putting it on the market or if you’ve just moved in — would be to update your bed coverings, accent pillows in the living room, or table-top accent pieces such as candles, flowers or ceramic pieces.

Homeowners: Protect Your Investment – Roof Snow Removal | Maine Waterfront Real Estate



Because it is usually your most valuable investment, I am hoping that you want to take care of your home. At this time of year, I like to send out a reminder about all the beautiful snow that may be stacked up on your rooftop. To remove this excess weight from the roof, and to prolong the life of their roof shingles, many people will use a roof rake to remove as much snow as possible. Aluminum rakes seem to be the best choice for do-it-yourself homeowners because they are lightweight and quite sturdy. For many people, I would recommend hiring a professional maintenance person to do this job for you, especially if you have a two or three-story home.  Also, this applies to seasonal or vacation properties Call me if you need the name of someone in our area to help you. 207-784-2525

More valuable Information from the recent Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report | Lewiston Maine Homes For Sale



Some of the top interior projects for resale value noted in the report by the National Association of Realtors included an attic bedroom and a basement remodel. Both increase your living space without expanding the foundation of your home. An attic bedroom addition could recoup an estimated 72.2% nationally upon resale. A basement remodel is estimated to recoup 70% nationally. Improvement projects expected to return the least at resale are a mid-range home office remodel, a backup power generator, and a sunroom addition, recouping an estimated 45.8 to 48.6%of costs. If you wonder if a home improvement project could pay off when it comes to selling your home in Maine, give me a call to talk about it.

The Role of Realtors, The Real Estate Professionals | Buckfield Maine Area Homes For Sale



The Role of Real Estate Professionals
While reading a recent survey by the National Association of Realtors, I found the following statistics interesting:

•Most home sellers — most of whom had worked with a real estate agent before —understood the value a real estate agent brings to the transaction, the survey reported. They noted this is especially true in a still-stabilizing housing market.

• Nearly 9 out of 10 home sellers sold their home with the assistance of a real estate agent…..

Celebrate the Holidays in Freeport



Here is a nice way to usher in the holiday season:  Plan to head over to Freeport for its 15th annual Sparkle Weekend! Traditionally held the first weekend in December, Sparkle includes an electric light parade, Christmas lighting contests, a talking Christmas tree, sales in assorted retail outlets, a holiday open house with historic Freeport bed and breakfasts, a tuba Christmas concert and much more. Sparkle Weekend has been held in Freeport since 1994, and features events and activities throughout the village. Santa will make an appearance, too! It sounds like a lot of fun (and possibly savings?) for the entire family.

We, at Meservier & Associates of Keller Williams Realty Mid Maine, wish you all a very happy and safe holiday this week for Thanksgiving.
