Sometimes it's not good to be number 1. In a recent
Bangor Daily News article, Kennebunkport was cited as being number one in median home price increase since February 2020 in the State of Maine. Another
BDN article noted that Kennebunkport is on track to become the first town in Maine with a median home price of $1M.
Affordable housing means our classrooms have kids, our local government has skilled workers, and our small businesses have the staff they need to survive. While we are grateful for the summer folks that choose Kennebunkport as their second home, towns need year-round residents to volunteer as elected and appointed officials and year-round residents embed in the community and allow it to remain vibrant. According to the 2020 Census, 45% of Kennebunkport homes are vacant most of the year.
We believe that creating safe, efficient, attainable housing makes Kennebunkport better for everyone. We are committed to our goal of building 25 homes by 2025 and look forward to welcoming the retirees, young families, municipal and school workers, and others that become our next homeowners!
