Summary

  • Nearly 5,000 homes were on Maine’s market in May, up by more than 1,000 from April, while the median single-family sale price stayed unchanged from a year earlier at $425,000.
  • 1,206 existing single-family homes sold in May, down slightly from May 2025, as Realtors said a spring inventory surge and lower 30-year mortgage rates were helping rebalance conditions for buyers.
  • Nationally, the median home price reached $434,300 and sales rose 3.3% from a year earlier, underscoring how Maine’s flat pricing diverged from the broader market.
  • Cumberland County led March-through-May sales and posted Maine’s highest median price at $600,000; York was the only other county above $500,000 at $522,000, while Aroostook was lowest at $165,000.
