Description
The For Real Estate podcast is for buyers, sellers, investors, and industry professionals in the Greater Portland Maine real estate market. I'm Nova Tower, your host and realtor at Waypoint Brokers Collective. I am a licensed realtor in Maine and I specialize in residential real estate including single family homes, condos, and multi-unit properties. I've also been investing in Maine real estate for nearly a decade and I currently own and manage two investment properties with a mix of short term and long term rentals. I love my work. I love my clients. And I love talking about real estate. In fact my husband has a code word for me at dinner parties if I talk too much about real estate. For Real Estate Podcast is my outlet to share everything I know and care about in real estate in the Greater Portland Maine area. I will also be interviewing a wide variety of other voices on the show - colleagues, clients, ancillary service providers, market thought leaders and policy makers, economists, and more. This podcast is intended to be educational and holistic. Please get in touch with me if you have thoughts to contribute, if you would like to be interviewed, or if you're a buyer, seller, or investor in the Greater Portland area and you have real estate questions!

In today's episode I will be sharing some very BIG news: I've moved over to Waypoint Brokers Collective as broker and partner! I can't say enough about this shift. That aside, I'll be diving into a beast of a topic today-- let's call it a micro economic / macro market mashup. We're talking market bubble and beyond.
In times of rate hikes, lenders adapt with promotions and incentives to make mortgages more attractive and accessible. Lately I've been seeing a lot of creativity in lending. And before you get any ideas, I'm not talking about the predatory creativity of the early oughts. With today's regulations, creative lending means opportunity. On this episode I talk with lender Cyndi Veroneau at Caliber Home Loans to learn about some of the creative mortgage hacks available to buyers and sellers to get their rates and loan fees down.
Today we review market stats of the Greater Portland market and discuss some thoughts on buyer strategy for offering on properties when there is no defined offer timeline. We talk about what constitutes a good deal in this market and strategies around offering below asking, at asking, and above asking. We also talk other terms that are negotiable like closing costs and points.
Today we talk about pricing strategies for sellers in this new market where supply and demand are coming into better equilibrium. In these shifting times, sellers need experience and wisdom to maximize their sale outcome. I'll share my thoughts, as well as some ideas from my fellow brokers at the Portside Midyear Meeting last month.
This is Part 1 of a two-part episode recapping the recent Portside Midyear Event. This episode focuses on a presentation given by Amanda Rector on the condition of the Maine Economy. You’ll hear trends about pandemic fueled demographic changes, what’s up with employment, forecasting for inflation, Maine’s plan and emergency fund for recession protection, and more.
Realtor, Investor, and Property Manager Kaili Moore tells us her story of how she went from renter to owner to investor in just 5 years. She shares her wisdom and advice for buyers, sellers, and industry professionals.
Is the market shifting? What's the shift? Why is it happening? And what does it mean? Today I share my thoughts on the real estate market shift in the Greater Portland, Maine area and what sellers and buyers should be thinking about.
