Reasons why it is hard to find a reasonably priced home.
Yesterday I made a post about rejecting a ME bill that would create a registration requirement for landlords owning rental units that included fees, fines & penalties. 🙅♀️
👇I do however, fully support this measure & introducing similar legislation for the state of Maine. As a Realtor, I have seen REO‘s come in with cash paying way over asking price, taking away home opportunities from regular citizens already battling low inventory. This drives up the comparative market analysis moving forward, making prices inflated.
I  would also include blocking foreign governments and hostile entities from buying property in Maine. A good example is the exposure of over 400 single-family residences being bought up by the Chinese Communist Party using shell companies to create illegal cannabis grow houses. Who knows what other illicit activity is coming in and out, including human trafficking. 🚫
