Zillow's typical home value ran $837,792 (up 0.7% YoY); Redfin's median sale price ran $843K as of January 2026 (up 8.8% YoY); Movoto's July 2026 median LIST price ran notably higher at $1.13M -- a real, disclosed spread this record does not resolve to one figure (base record).
Coastal landmarks likely support a real premium
Cape Elizabeth's proximity to Portland Head Light, Two Lights State Park, and Crescent Beach State Park's genuine sand beach likely supports real, sustained demand relative to less coastally distinctive Greater Portland suburbs, though this record does not quantify that premium precisely (base record).
More than double the national comparison figure
Every cited Cape Elizabeth housing figure runs genuinely, substantially above the roughly $408,776 national median home value this project cites consistently (base record).
