true. prices in coastal Maine have really shot up. but that's the same issue people in other states like Idaho have. I think things will eventually drop a lot if we have a recession. demand for vacation homes drops a lot during a recession. and many people who retire to Maine may be less than thrilled with the winters and it isn't the best place in terms of taxes. I love the state and would have a place there if it wasn't all the way across the country.
