Both the number of homes sold in Maine and the median price for which they were bought increased last year in comparison to 2024.

According to a new report from the Maine Association of Realtors, there were a total of 15,133 real estate transactions in 2025, a 4.78 percent increase over the previous year.

The median sale price for 2025 came in at $405,000, rising 3.85 percent over the year 2024.

December’s year-over-year statistics for Maine revealed an 11.82 percent increase in home sales accompanied by a 3.75 percent decrease in the median sale price, which came in $385,000.

Nationally during this same period, there was a 1.8 percent increase in the number of homes sold as the median sale price rose 0.2 percent to $409,500. Regionally in New England, there was a 1.9 percent drop in home sales as prices went up by 3.7 percent to $496,700.

A look at Maine’s county-level data in a year-over-year comparison between the whole of 2024 and 2025 reveals that the most expensive homes continued to be on the market in Cumberland and York counties.

Also in keeping with the patterns established in 2024, the cheapest homes were sold in Aroostock and Piscataquis counties.

Androscoggin and Oxford counties saw the biggest uptick in median sale prices from 2024 to 2025, while homes got less expensive in Franklin, Knox, and Sagadahoc counties.

Several counties, including Lincoln, Piscataquis, and Waldo saw double-digit increases in the number of homes sold throughout the year, while Androscoggin, Franklin, and Knox saw their total number of home sales drop.
