Maine residential housing inventory levels dropping

0 comments

Not a huge surprise for this time of year, but nonetheless a good sign for the overall health of the Maine real estate markets. Inventory levels have fallen in most communities, Portland for example fell from close to 500 residential units to a current level around 400.  Most coastal regions have seen declines by approximately the same 20-25%.

Southern Maine November 2008 Housing Report

0 comments

In November 2008 the southern mid coastal Maine real estate markets saw much of the same conditions  that have persisted over the previous months with average sold prices continuing to be 10-15% off where they were a year prior, housing transaction volumes markedly lower and continued lengthening of the days on market for Cumberland and York whilst small sample sizes in Sagadahoc and Lincoln made it difficult to discern actual trends.  However one bright spot  revealed in the November 2008 housing data  is that the average sold prices month over month have not statistically fallen since the end of the summer pointing to perhaps a leveling out in this market.
