Portland’s highest-priced 2-4-unit multi-family in February was 40 Leland St. $1.05 million.
Portland’s residential real estate market is sending mixed signals to buyers and sellers, according to Benchmark Real Estate’s analysis of the market for February.
The median sales price for single-family homes declined for the second consecutive month, wrote Tom Landry, Benchmark’s owner.
But when compared to February 2024, values were up 33.7%.
Median days on the market increased 50% in February and 91% compared to February 2024.
“This indicates that sellers may be overpricing their homes, resulting in longer listing times before securing offers,” Landry wrote.
The report introduced an “active inventory” metric.
Data were derived from Maine Listings for the period Jan.1, 2024, through March 6.
