A real, disclosed cross-source spread

Redfin's median sale price (~$390,000, +3.9% YoY) and Realtor.com's median sold price (~$400,181) both ran higher than Zillow's typical home value (~$332,299, +3.4% YoY) -- a familiar sold-price-vs-estimate divergence.

A balanced, reasonably paced market

Homes sold at approximately 100% of list price after a median 36 days on market, with 76 active listings as of May 2026 -- neither an extreme seller's nor buyer's market.

Below the Maine statewide median

Every figure reviewed ran below this project's own Maine statewide median sale price ($428,478, per maine.js).
