We present our latest edition of The Legacy Collection, a digital magazine showcasing extraordinary homes for sale across Maine, including an opening letter from our President, Chris Lynch, on what’s next for the Maine real estate market.
The Legacy Collection magazine has a customized distribution that includes a print partnership with The Wall Street Journal, including copies sent to Maine and New Hampshire subscribers, and features in Down East Magazine and The Boston Globe. It is also shared with hundreds of thousands of our followers via email, social media, and this Maine Real Estate Blog.
For those of you who have been following our market updates for nearly two decades, you already know that the Maine real estate market is both cyclical and seasonal. Over the past five-plus years, our sparsely populated but growing state has experienced a real estate cycle that has outperformed the entire country in terms of home sale prices. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), Maine ranked #1 with overall price gains exceeding 73% from the first quarter of 2020 through the fourth quarter of 2024.
It is interesting to note that rounding out the top five states were Florida, Montana, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Maine’s relative success, much like that of Montana, New Hampshire, and Vermont, stems from being a small state with a limited inventory of homes for sale and a surge of buyer interest in both primary and second homes. As a result of excess demand relative to available inventory, prices have remained very strong, and buyers have been so resilient that we have hardly seen any notable seasonality.
