#1 in Maine for Single Family Residential and Condo Sales Over $400,000 in 2017

Maine Real Estate (February 2018) – Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty, with offices in Portland, Kennebunk, Brunswick, Damariscotta, and Camden, announced today that they continue to hold the #1 ranking in 2017 for all single family residential and condo sales over $400,000 in Maine. The company reported that it closed 428 transaction sides totaling $340 million in this category last year. This segment of the market is one of the most competitive in Maine, with hundreds of agencies and thousands of agents competing for the best properties throughout the state.

“We are so pleased that our commitment to the best photography, video and marketing has separated us from our competition,” said Chris Lynch, President. “With prices increasing in much of the state over the past few years, there are many more homes and more opportunities for us to excel.”

Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty also reported that it was able to convert 160 of its own proprietary listings to match it with its exclusive buyer clients. “We are pleased to have again been able to retain our #1 position,” adds Lynch. “We have a large market share and portfolio of listings with more than 1 in every 15 homes over $400,000 listed with us statewide.”

The company reported that its average sold price is more than 35% higher than its next closest competitor. “Our agents and our clients love working with so many great homes while still applying our marketing magic and world class photography to everything we touch,” says Lynch. “It is always easy to pick out listings from the lineup of lead photos. We really make them shine.”

Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty also reported that it successfully closed sales within this category in a total of 126 towns throughout Maine last year. “This is reflection of our statewide coverage with 5 offices strategically positioned throughout the state and our team of experts who can get the job done most anywhere there is an opportunity,” concludes Lynch.
