KeyCrew Journal recently published a feature titled “How Maine Became One of America’s Strongest Housing Markets,” highlighting Chris Lynch, President of Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty, and his perspective on the state’s continued housing market strength.
Lynch, who began his career on Wall Street before moving to Maine with his family, founded Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty in 2006. Over the past two decades, he has grown the firm into Maine’s leading luxury brokerage, now operating six offices across the state and serving clients throughout Maine and New Hampshire.
In the feature, Lynch describes Maine’s housing performance as reflecting conditions that are “more durable than a pandemic-era spike,” pointing to demand that has remained consistent well beyond recent market cycles.
That demand has been supported by remote and hybrid work, continuing to draw buyers from major metropolitan areas including Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C. At the same time, inventory remains limited, with constrained new construction and many homeowners holding onto historically low mortgage rates. As Lynch notes, many owners “love their mortgage rate more than their desire to move.”
