Waterfront Success: 484 Bay Road Sold for $106K Over Asking

Bailey Pate - Keller Williams

Waterfront homes in Maine are in high demand—but selling for top dollar still takes strategy, execution, and expertise.

 

When I listed 484 Bay Road in Bowdoinham for $460,000, I knew it had the potential to generate serious interest. Thanks to a comprehensive marketing plan and careful pricing strategy, the property sold for an incredible $566,500$106,500 over asking price!

 

This sale wasn’t just about listing a beautiful home. It was about positioning it perfectly to stand out in a competitive market—and I’m here to share how I did it.

 

How We Made It Happen

✔️ High-End Marketing Materials:

I spared no detail when it came to presenting 484 Bay Road at its absolute best. I invested in:

Professional Drone Footage to highlight the stunning waterfront location

Matterport 3D Virtual Tour to give buyers an immersive experience

Cinematic Listing Video to showcase the lifestyle and setting

Detailed Floor Plan so buyers could easily envision the layout

Top-Tier Photography to capture the home’s natural beauty and light

 

When you’re selling a waterfront property, presentation matters more than ever—and my strategy ensured this listing made a lasting impression from the moment it hit the market.

 

✔️ Strategic Pricing:

Pricing a home correctly isn’t about guessing—it’s about market expertise and smart positioning.

After analyzing waterfront sales trends, buyer demand, and local comps, I recommended a list price of $460,000 to spark immediate interest and competitive offers.

The result? Multiple buyers competed—and the final sale soared $106,500 over asking.

 

✔️ Maximizing Exposure:

I didn’t rely on the MLS alone. I launched a multi-channel marketing plan to ensure 484 Bay Road was everywhere serious buyers were looking, including:

•Paid social media advertising across Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube

•Direct outreach to my personal network of buyer agents and investors

•Premium placement on top real estate websites

•Customized digital brochures and email campaigns

 

✔️ Understanding Buyer Psychology:

Today’s buyers want more than just a home—they want a lifestyle.

Every piece of marketing we created emphasized the waterfront living experience—the peaceful mornings, the breathtaking sunsets, the connection to nature.

This emotional connection helped drive urgency and strong offers.
