To the editor:
I am writing to invite all readers to visit http://maineopenhouseday.com/ and find a local home currently offered for sale that will be a part of the Maine Association of REALTORS® “Maine Open House Day” that will be held on Sunday, May 16, 2010. Much of the news about real estate has been about the recent expiration of the home buyer tax credit. While the tax credit was an attractive enticement, the lasting benefits of homeownership are personal, not just financial. Owning offers an enduring home in which to establish a life and family, opportunities to become involved in the neighborhood, and flexibility in lifestyle.
This is a great time to buy a house. Buyers have a large inventory of homes to choose from and access to loans with historically low mortgage interest rates. Properties in Aroostook County offer value and an opportunity to continue in the County tradition of devotion to family and community. On behalf of all of Aroostook County’s REALTORS®, I invite you to contact a real estate professional about taking the first steps to buying a home and investing in your future.
Aroostook Council of REALTORS®
