February Real Estate Planning: Get Ahead of Maine’s Spring Market

February 9, 2026

February is the perfect month to prepare for the busy spring real estate season in Maine. 

Buyers and sellers who plan early often gain a competitive edge when activity increases. Dan Letellier of Coldwell Banker Realty helps clients use February wisely to set themselves up for success.


Why Planning Early Matters

Spring is traditionally the most active time for home sales in Southern Maine. Waiting until March or April can mean increased competition and higher pressure. February planning allows time to make informed decisions without rushing.


Smart Moves for Maine Home Sellers


Steps to Take in February

  • Schedule pre-listing home inspections
  • Complete minor repairs and updates
  • Begin decluttering and staging
  • Review pricing trends in your town


Homes that are prepared early tend to sell faster once spring demand arrives.


Buyers: Strengthen Your Position Now

Buyers should use February to get pre-approved, define must-have features, and research neighborhoods. Knowing which Maine communities fit your lifestyle makes spring house hunting far more efficient.


Local Expertise Makes the Difference

Dan Letellier provides insight into school districts, coastal vs. inland markets, seasonal pricing trends, and long-term resale value. This local knowledge helps clients make confident decisions.


February is about preparation, not pressure. With the right strategy, you’ll be ready when the market picks up. When you're ready, we are here to help! Contact Dan to get started.
