This weekend I received a call from a potential buyer who saw my build package listing in Cumberland's Westbranch subdivision. The person who called was wondering if they could build on the lot and bring their horses with them.  That would not work due to neighborhood covenants, but the inquiry alerted me to the fact that this subdivision is smack in the middle of four popular horse boarding facilities (all within 3 or 4 miles) AND within a mile of the Cumberland County Fairgrounds. I hadn't realized this, but the neighborhood is INCREDIBLY convenient for Maine-based horse lovers.  Plus you can build this house for only $351,000: Check out the Google Map:     View Horse Boarding Near Westbranch Subdivison, Cumberland, Maine in a larger map 02/10/2010

Comparing this to 10 transactions at an average price of 497K in December 2007 one actually sees a year over year price increase of 8% although this number s probably skewed by a high value home selling coupled with a small sample size. With a current inventory of 72 properties the Cape Elizabeth residential real estate market remains slow and will most likely continue this way for the foreseeable future.   To get more information on this greater Portland Maine real estate market please visit www.mymaineproperty.com or contact me directly at 207-650-5383 or via email at john@greentreemaine.com 01/09/2009
