In this second half of my engaging conversation with Chris Lynch, founder and president of Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty, we dive into what’s driving Maine’s residential real estate market—from explosive luxury appreciation to the deepening challenges in the entry-level housing segment.

Chris shares powerful insights about the post-pandemic surge in demand, why lifestyle-driven buyers are still flocking to Maine, and the surprising national data that puts Maine at the top of the country for real estate appreciation since 2020.

We also discuss:

• The evolving definition of “luxury” in Maine real estate
• How multi-generational wealth is shaping the entry-level market
• The supply constraints keeping inventory low
• Community, lifestyle, and the authentic elegance of living in Maine
• Hidden gems like Casco Bay, community service commitments, and what makes life here so meaningful

Whether you're a longtime Mainer or considering a move, this episode is full of thoughtful reflections, practical insight, and heartfelt appreciation for everything Maine has to offer.
