Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty, Maine’s leading luxury property company, with offices in Portland, Kennebunk, Brunswick, Damariscotta, Camden, and Northeast Harbor, announces that the Maine real estate market has warmed up, as the Maine Association of Realtors predicted during the spring sales season. Realtors across the state reported both a rise in transactions and prices for single-family existing homes. According to Maine Listings, the median sales price (MSP) statewide increased 2.72 percent to $410,865 comparing April 2026 to April 2025. The MSP indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half sold for less. Sales also increased with a rise of 3.36 percent last month compared to a year ago.
“Maine’s spring real estate market has kicked off,” says Judy Oberg, 2026 President of the Maine Association of Realtors. “For-sale inventory has increased 18 percent since March, and sales are up more than three percent as we head into the busy season for sellers and buyers.
“While the inventory of 3,900 homes for sale in April is shifting the market toward a better balance, this is not consistent statewide,” adds Oberg.
“Whether buying or selling, partner with a Realtor for expert guidance regarding inventory availability, marketing, pricing strategies, and negotiation approaches to successfully navigate your real estate transaction, given the current market conditions of your area.”
The National Association of Realtors reported a decrease of 0.3% in national sales during April 2026 over April 2025, while sales prices rose 1.0 percent to a national MSP of $422,300 for single-family existing homes. Regionally, NAR recorded a price jump of 4.8 percent to an MSP of $510,800, while sales dipped 8.2 percent in April 2026 compared to April 2025.

The second chart compares the number of existing, single-family homes sold (units) and volume (MSP) during the rolling quarter of February, March and April (2025/2026).
