Maine’s real estate market closed out 2025 with strength and momentum. While statewide sales and prices increased, the Midcoast market stood out with a brisk fourth quarter and strong buyer demand. Inventory remains tight, buyers are more selective about condition and pricing, and sellers who prepare and price thoughtfully are seeing the best results as we head into 2026.

The Midcoast market stayed active this fall. Lincoln and Waldo saw strong gains in units sold, Knox remained steady, and Hancock held firm on price. Buyers are active but focused on value, making pricing and presentation essential.

Maine’s fall housing market remains strong. October brought a 10.73% jump in sales and a median price of $426,000. First-time and VA buyers are gaining ground, while sellers need smart pricing and strong presentation to stay competitive.
