Coastal Maine Real Estate Market Update: A Look at the November 2025 Numbers

The Scott & Sunny Townsend Team with Keller Williams is your premier source for real estate market information in Maine. 

As we wrap up November 2025 and head into the winter season, the Maine real estate market is showing signs of a "new normal." We are seeing shifts in inventory and pricing that vary significantly depending on which town or county you are looking at. Understanding these hyper-local nuances is critical for success, whether you are looking to list your property or find your next dream home. Here is our deep dive into the numbers for November 2025.

Key Takeaways at a Glance

• 📈 Inventory is Recovering: Statewide, inventory is up 20.7%, offering buyers more options than previous years.

• 💰 Greater Portland Prices Hold: While some areas saw dips, Greater Portland's median price rose 6.8% to $562,500.

• ⚡️ Scarborough Speed: Despite market cooling elsewhere, Scarborough homes are selling in a median of just 9 days.

A Deeper Dive into the Data

The Statewide View: Maine The statewide picture for November 2025 suggests a move toward balance. The number of Properties Sold decreased by 11.5% to 1,161, while the Median Sales Price saw a healthy, sustainable increase of 3.6% to $399,000. Perhaps most importantly for buyers, New Listings increased by 14%, helping to push inventory up to 3.2 months supply.

The Greater Portland Perspective Cumberland County continues to demonstrate resilience. The Median Sales Price climbed to $562,500. However, we are seeing the pace of the market relax slightly. Median Days on Market increased by 88% year-over-year, landing at 16 days. This suggests that while values are holding, buyers are being more selective, and homes are not flying off the shelf quite as instantly as before.

The Scarborough Story Scarborough remains an outlier in terms of speed. For November 2025, the Median Days on Market actually decreased by 32% to just 9 days. While the Median Sales Price showed a decrease of 9.4% to $692,500—likely due to the specific mix of inventory sold rather than a drop in property values—the demand is clearly present. Inventory has increased by 40% to 1.9 months, but that is still considered a seller's market territory.

What This Means for You

For Sellers: The days of putting a sign in the yard and getting multiple offers in hours may be evolving. With Days on Market rising in Greater Portland (up 88%) and Maine (up 22.2%), pricing strategy and home preparation are more vital than ever. You need an expert partner to position your home correctly to compete with the increased inventory.

For Buyers: This winter may be your window of opportunity. With New Listings up 14% statewide and Inventory rising across the board, you have more choices and potentially less competition than the spring market will bring.
