The top Mainebiz real estate article in 2020 was about this renovated three-bedroom house at 71 Essex St. in Portland, the prize in an HGTV contest.
One thing that didn't change in 2020 is that people wanted to read about real estate.
The four most-read real estate stories at Mainebiz were also among last year's top five stories in overall website readership. The top 10 real estate stories, many from our twice-weekly Real Estate Insider newsletter, were among the overall top 26.
It's no surprise that the most-read real estate articles are all "good news" — success stories, big acquisitions, big investments, the always popular "hottest Maine towns" and more. There was a lot of bad news in 2020, but the popularity of positive real estate articles is an indication that the industry was a bright light in a year that many are happy to put behind them.
