Reply #8: You should see what they have done to the sea coast of Maine. [View All]

Big second homes were always in style and as the room gets less to build on they look even worse than before. All on top of each other. I will say this. I grew up in a second home on the coast. How did we get it? The bank owned it as so many of these homes were for sale after the owners lost them. This one my father bought sat from 1921 to 1937 waiting for some one to buy it. Lots of big homes going up in the town I live in and where I live they are selling their big home. Most of the homes when I grew up were heated by coal and most of the home was shut off and hardly used most of the year and it was not really a poor part of the country. Most people worked even during the late 30's. In the 40's the big homes were on the way out and tore down. I think the ball will go that way. Things just keep turning. Look at it this way. York County Maine was once just one big farm and farm land, then the people left and it went back to woods and now the woods are going and homes are taking over once more. Things seem to run in circles like that. The big home is in style right now.
