Total building permits
issued in Maine, by year
aine's housing shor tage has
affected the median home price
and the sales rate compared to a year
ago, with double-digit increases in each.
But the housing crunch has also had
an impact on the number of building
permits issued. Through the first five
months of 2021, Maine is on pace to
issue the highest number of building
permits since 2007. At the current
pace, there would be 6,468 building
permits issued this year, which would
be the highest level since 2006, during
Maine's last building boom.
