| July Results In Across the state of Maine, sales of single-family homes rebounded in July, as 2.090 properties were sold, representing an 11% increase over July of 2019. Through the first seven months of 2020, home sales now down 1.3%.
Sales in southern Maine, however, were considerably different. Sales in Cumberland County were down 6.6% in July 2020 vs 2019 and now have been below prior year every month of 2020 except for January. Year-to-date sales in Cumberland County are now behind last year by just over 10% while York County is lagging prior year by 5.4%. The first chart below provides details for most towns in the greater Portland area.
Prices
Median selling prices continue to trend upwards for both single family homes and condos. The Cumberland County median price of $370,000 for July was the single highest monthly result ever recorded - and by a wide margin.
Inventory & Under Contract
Last month inventory, especially in Cumberland County, was nearly 30% below prior year, and nothing changed in July. The shortage of inventory, notably in the segment below $500,000, is acute. What has improved, however, is that properties under contract are up considerably at 17%. This has also resulted in quick selling times and on-going upward pressure on price appreciation.
The Absorption Rate tracks how long it takes to sell a home given current inventory levels.
