Housing
This section of the BDN aims to help readers understand Maine’s housing crisis, the volatile real estate market and the public policy behind them. Read more Housing coverage here.
Maine’s real estate market has started to pick up with warmer weather arriving across the state, including some multimillion-dollar homes that changed hands, largely in southern and coastal areas.
The number of homes for sale across the state has continued to rise to nearly 8,000, as of April, and asking prices on average have ticked up to nearly $400,000 after dipping slightly over the winter, Redfin data shows.
We created a list of the five most expensive residential properties sold in Maine in May 2026. The information comes from state transfer tax documents, which are available to the public online.
With an average purchase price of roughly $3.8 million the properties soar above the median price Maine homes are selling for, which Redfin placed at nearly $400,000 as of April.
