Maine Mortgages (ME)
The housing market in Maine is cooling, although house prices continue to rise, at a more moderate rate than the past few years. The State is making plans to support future job growth, up to 2,000 new jobs over the next few years. A steady job market will keep the real estate market healthy. Mortgage rates fell slightly in early April, making this a good time to purchase or re-finance a home in Maine.
