The Aroostook County price average for median purposes is $80,000 for a home, down from $89,000. What the price average will be when you are ready to buy depends on the supply, economy, your timing of what season to purchase. Lakeshore retirement homes are more costly, harder to find but having a lake for a neighbor is pretty special!

I am sure there will be some Realtors chiming in with their opinions. However, my office has noticed a considerable increase in business over the past several months both from purchases and refinancing activity. We have a long way to go but if business continues to improve then it won't be long before prices begin to come back. However, as interest rates move up things may start to slow down again and prices may even drop further. It's hard to say. If only we could all predict the future.
