Southern Maine Real Estate Year in Review
In 2008 the following the 4 counties in southern and mid coastal maine saw on average a 10% drop in average prices and a 20% plus drop in transaction volume. Coastal Maine real estate was perhaps hit the hardest as the 2nd home and waterfront property market pretty much dried out. The first time home buyer market did and does continue to see healthy volume given the astronomically low interest rates coupled with low money down programs still available. The Maine markets hit their peak in '04/'05, held strong through 2006, began to weaken in 2007 and then dropped considerbly this past year. Transaction volume is down about 50-60% from the hey day and prices are about where they were in 2005.
