3rd Quarter 2009 Housing Report for Greater Portland Maine

Posted Oct 15, 2009 @ 7:17 am, Viewed by 162 Visitors, Read 164 Times.

With Fall foliage in full swing here in  Maine....just the facts and a little commentary on how the residential real estate markets in the greater Portland region fared for the 3 month Qtr ending September 30th, 2009.

Total transaction volume for the 5 communities including Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, Falmouth and Cape Elizabeth clocked in at 431 compared with 399 in 2008, a 7% increase year over year.

The average median price for these transactions was 238K compared with 266K in 2008, representing a 12% decrease from year prior.  The markets however do seem to have found a bottom after the intense economic crisis with median prices down a bit from the start of the year, more of which can be attributed to the  1st time home buyers purchasing a greater portion of the lower priced inventory on the market.
