A quick note before the numbers: these are medians, not averages, and every town is its own micro-market. Always verify what these figures mean for your specific property before making a decision based on county-wide data.

The Scoreboard: Median Sold Price, June 2025 to June 2026

• Southern Maine (York): $535,000 to $583,725 (+9.1%)
• Central Maine (Kennebec): $322,000 to $353,250 (+9.7%)
• Mid-Coast (Hancock/Knox/Lincoln/Waldo): $445,000 to $425,136 (-4.5%)
• Northern Maine (Aroostook): $185,000 to $197,950 (+7.0%)

Southern Maine: York County (+9.1%)

York County had a spring surge strong enough that homes are routinely selling over asking price. If you’re competing for a home here, price alone isn’t winning offers anymore, the whole structure of your offer matters.

Central Maine: Kennebec County (+9.7%)

Kennebec posted the fastest growth rate in the state this period. Augusta and Waterville-area buyers who waited for prices to soften have instead watched the gap widen, a reminder that waiting has a real cost in a market moving this fast.

Mid-Coast: Hancock, Knox, Lincoln and Waldo (-4.5%)

This is the one region that actually declined. For buyers, that can mean more room to negotiate on Camden, Rockland, Belfast, and Ellsworth-area properties. For sellers here, pricing strategy and presentation matter more than they did a year ago.

Northern Maine: Aroostook County (+7.0%)

Even with steady growth, Aroostook remains Maine’s best value play by a wide margin. A median sale price under $200,000 is increasingly rare anywhere else in the state.

The Big Picture: Three Takeaways

• Maine is not one market. Four counties, four different stories, and your strategy should match the one you’re actually buying or selling in.
• Rising medians don’t mean every listing gets multiple offers. Pricing and preparation still decide outcomes town by town.
• A single soft region (the Mid-Coast this cycle) can be an opening for patient buyers, even while the state overall trends upward.

What This Means for You

If you’re buying, the region you’re watching should shape your offer strategy, from how fast you move to how you structure contingencies. If you’re selling, your county’s trend line, not the statewide headline, should inform your pricing conversation.
