I thought this inventory chart might be helpful for those who are hearing all kinds of things lately about the real estate market. While we have more inventory on the market currently than in recent years, overall, our market here in Maine has 54% less listings than back in July 2019.

The shift to more inventory and lower interest rates this week will be helpful, but there are still lots of buyers looking for their next home!

Good news for all the buyers out there.

The supply of homes for sale has grown significantly this year. There are 36.6% more homes actively for sale compared to 2023. This means more options for you.

But this doesn’t mean we have an oversupply. Inventory is still almost 29% lower compared to more normal years like 2017-2019.

😍✨🏡This Cumberland beauty closed today and helped jumpstart my luxury portfolio. This family was incredible to work with and some of the most efficient people I have met. And I was so honored to work with them to buy their dream house in Freeport as well!

Our journey together started early in their search, but then the perfect house came along and we had to move quickly to get their own home listed. I'm going to miss working with them but am so excited that they get to write their next chapter. I love it when good people win!

In case you missed the open house yesterday, here is the video tour of the beautiful 37 Newell Ridge. Enjoy!

Just reflecting back on 2022 and some of the amazing clients I had the opportunity to work with! Below is was my last closing of 2022 and I so enjoyed visiting this home and its glorious views.
