(AP) Home sales and home prices in Maine are continuing to trend upward.
The Maine Association of Realtors said sales and prices were both up by a staggering 28% in May compared to May 2020.
The association said high buyer demand is driving the increase in home values.
The state’s median sales price was $305,000 in May.
That increase was similar to the national increase.
The national median sales price increased about 24% to $356,600.
