Driving Factors For Maine Real Estate Market

Appreciating Home Values

The driving force behind Maine’s real estate market is much like the rest of the U.S., an unbalanced relationship of supply and demand. As a result, decreasing inventory, lower interest rates, and government stimuli have created a seller’s market and increased home values at a historic pace.

Long-Term Rental Properties

With flipping margins decreasing, Maine investors have turned to long-term rental properties and even short-term rentals. “Buy and hold” investment opportunities have enabled investors to offset the high prices of homes in the state with substantially high rental rate of returns.

Low Inventory, For Now

Maine simply doesn’t have enough available inventory to keep up with demand and the lack of listings is only driving prices up even further. It’s projected that more homes will be listed in the coming months which will have the ultimate effect of stabilizing pricing across the state.

EquityMax Insight

Along with the rest of the U.S., Maine’s real estate market has seen appreciating home values at a historic pace. Additionally, high prices have also overflowed into the rental market and driven up prices and demand on rental units and even short-term vacation homes. Therefore, while fix and flips still present a profitable return in the state given the right opportunity, investors are finding much success in long-term and short-term rentals as well. Anyone participating in the state’s real estate juggernaut should remain bullish and follow the market daily to seek out deals that best fit their strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the rental market growing around the state?

With more investors flocking larger northeast states for less populous, “country” towns, we feel it only expands the geography for investors to profit by becoming landlords.

Will EquityMax lend on short-term rentals?

Absolutely, in fact, we find that the higher monthly cash-flows generated by an STR provide great financial advantages in servicing a high-interest, hard money loan.

Will the market for real estate investing plateau in the near future?

That is a question that many investors have asked us, but we just don’t know. Until then, seize the opportunities that present themselves TODAY.
