Bangor-area market snapshot

City of Bangor, three months ending October 2026

Redfin is the primary source this week. These are city-of-Bangor figures, not a county-wide average. Other sites can report a different median because they use a different mix of sales.

Homeowner tip

A short November checklist before the deep freeze

Maine winters are hard on the simple things. Before overnight lows settle in for good:

Water

Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses, and shut off interior valves to outdoor spigots.

Heat and alarms

Replace furnace filters and test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Pipes and rentals

Keep heat on in lightly used rooms. If you own a rental, confirm tenants know where the main shutoff is and how to reach you after hours.

A note from Jon

I'll be back in town after November 18.

Jon Hyatt

I've been away with family this week and will be back in town after November 18. If you're thinking about a move, a refinance, or a rental in the new year, I'd love to catch up once I'm home.
