3 articles · Updated · mainebiz.biz · Jul 7

Summary

  • Portland’s first half of 2026 ended with more inventory in key residential segments, giving buyers more choice even as demand stayed firm and the market split by property type.
  • Single-family homes remained the tightest segment: median price slipped 2.4% to $595,500, closed sales fell 10.1% to 170, new listings dropped to 239, and homes still sold in a median seven days.
  • Condominiums showed the clearest inventory rebound, with new listings up 21.9% to 245 while the first-half median price rose to $522,500; closed sales still fell 6.7% to 126.
  • Multifamily properties also added supply, with new listings up 19% to 94 and closed sales up 10.6% to 52, while the median price increased to $870,000.
  • June data reinforced the shift: active inventory rose year over year in all three segments, while Landry said buyers now have more leverage in a still high-demand but no longer one-size-fits-all market.
