If you could close at these home’s listing prices, you’d nearly achieve the current statewide median sale price of $329,250, according to data from the Maine Association of Realtors®. Last year, that number was $297,500, but low inventory has kept the pressure on buyers.

143 SUMMIT HILL ROAD, Harrison — $329,900

Cumberland County is home to most of Maine’s population and therefore has the state’s highest, current median sale price of $459,000. You can find a (presumably) move-in ready home for a lot less, but you must go west to the Lakes Region. This 19th century farmhouse on 3.5 acres is near Long Lake and Crystal Pond and has views of Mt. Washington. The main home has hardwood floors, exposed beams, and fireplaces. The barn has its own hearth, ten-person sauna, plus an in-ground pool in the yard. Listed by Jocelyn O’Rourke-Shane, Maine Real Estate Choice. See the full listing.

York County is next in line with a median sales price of $430,000, so here’s another possible deal in one of Maine’s fastest growing towns. On the top floor of a three-unit, this condominium has windows on four sides and views of the Saco River from the back porch. Inside, there are nice, circa 1900 details: hardwood floors, decorative pillars, and built-in storage. Outside, a newly completed front porch. Walk into town, but easily access your car with deeded off street parking. Listed by Richard & Jean Murphy, Harborview Properties, Inc. See the full listing.

Now let us go to Somerset County. With a median sales price of $170,000, it’s currently the third “cheapest” county after Aroostook and Piscataquis. This is another antique farmhouse, this time on three acres with a detached two-car garage, main floor ensuite primary bedroom, and an open concept kitchen and dining area. Less than two miles to the public boat launch on East Pond. According to the listing the property has a mooring that has been approved by the town.
