This market report gives you the real estate activity for the Greater Portland, Maine area. Since we had a great spring the big problem right now is inventory to keep up with buyers demand. We have people calling our office all the time looking for homes to buy. While we do have plenty of homes to look at, there just isn’t enough inventory to satisfy ALL the buyers that are looking. If you or someone you know is considering selling a home now is a good time to get it on the market. There won’t be much competition and may result in a multiple bid situation which could get you top dollar.
