PORTLAND, Maine — Maine home sales rose about 25 percent in April, compared with last year, as prices remained relatively even with one year ago.
The Maine Realtors Association said sellers have regularly received multiple offers on homes in various parts of the state, meaning a tougher time for buyers.
