Maine Housing Market 2026: Prices, Sales & Trends
What homes actually sell for in Maine: a median closed sale price of $420,000 across 9,381 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, plus the state's largest markets by volume.
Maine's median closed sale price is $420,000, measured across 9,381 closings Resideline tracked statewide over the last six months, as of August 2026. These are closings we track directly, a measured sample rather than a complete state record, which is why we can show the detail below at all. A statewide median hides how far apart Maine's markets sit. Among its highest-volume markets, Portland carries the highest median and South Portland the lowest. That gap is the reason a state figure belongs in a market briefing rather than in an offer: it describes the middle of a very wide distribution, not a price you can underwrite against.
Maine's largest markets by closing volume
| Market | Closings tracked, last 6 months | Median closed sale |
|---|---|---|
| Portland | 445 | $590,000 |
| Wells | 242 | $570,750 |
| South Portland | 190 | $533,500 |
Volume matters as much as price here. A market with more tracked closings gives you a deeper comparable set, so you can filter hard on property type, size and condition and still have sales left to price against.

How to price a specific Maine property
Work from the closings, not from the state number. Start with sales of the same property type inside a tight radius, match size and condition before you widen anything, and treat the figures above as a sanity check on the answer rather than as the answer. A statewide median is useful for spotting which markets deserve attention; it will mis-price an individual address in either direction.
Run any Maine address through Resideline and you will get the local comparable set and the property's value together, in one report.
