Selling Costs and Taxes in Maine
What is the Maine real estate transfer tax?
Maine charges a real estate transfer tax of $2.20 per $500 of the sale price, split equally between buyer and seller unless otherwise negotiated. As of November 1, 2025, an additional surcharge of $3.80 per $500 applies to the portion of the sale price exceeding $1 million. For example, on a $1.5 million sale, the base transfer tax applies to the full amount, and the $3.80 surcharge applies to the $500,000 above $1M. Visit Maine Revenue Services for current rates. See Cost of Selling a House in Maine.
Do non-residents pay extra taxes when selling property in Maine?
Yes. Maine requires 2.5% of the sale price to be withheld at closing for non-resident sellers. This withholding is applied toward the seller's Maine income tax liability. Exemptions may apply in certain circumstances. See Maine Revenue Services — Real Estate Withholding for exemptions and details.
What are the typical closing costs when selling a house in Maine?
Closing costs for sellers in Maine typically include the real estate commission, state transfer taxes ($2.20 per $500 of the sale price), deed preparation, recording fees, attorney fees, title insurance, prorated property taxes, and any outstanding liens or mortgage payoffs. Sales over $1 million are subject to an additional transfer tax surcharge. The specific costs applicable to any transaction depend on individual circumstances and should be reviewed with a licensed attorney. Robert Thibodeau provides a detailed seller net sheet at no cost. See Cost of Selling a House in Maine.
What is a comparative market analysis (CMA) and why does it matter?
A comparative market analysis is a professional evaluation of a property's likely market value based on recent comparable sales, current competition, property condition, location, and local market trends. Unlike automated online home-value estimates (which often perform poorly in rural or low-volume markets), a CMA from a local agent accounts for property-specific factors that algorithms miss. Robert Thibodeau provides no-cost CMAs for Southern Maine sellers. Contact: 207-880-9995 or request an online home value estimate as a starting point.
