Portland, MAINE (November 14, 2008) - The luxury property real estate market here in Maine continues to benefit from national and international buyers who see Maine properties as a safe investment offering a special lifestyle. That was one of the key points this week when Chris Lynch, founder and owner of Legacy Properties Sotheby's International Realty, sat down with the hosts of Inside Maine Business.

As Maine's only business TV show hosted by local business leaders, Inside Maine Business features Matt Jacobson and Roger Katz, airing on channels throughout the state each week. The long-ranging discussion with Lynch focused on everything from the strength of Maine's high-end real estate market to the current state of Wall Street and the economy as a whole.

"We've been seeing strong interest from overseas buyers, especially those in Europe, as the exchange rate has moved in their favor. The coast of Maine represents a global lifestyle destination," said Lynch. "A high-end waterfront home here is still seen as a solid investment, representing a safe asset class where investors can keep their funds."
