When is this due?
A two-story traditional craftsman-style house with a brick lower level and shake-style gable siding, a covered front porch with stone-based columns, and a fresh green lawn.

Maine's overall cost of living lands close to the national average - a Bureau of Economic Analysis regional price index of 97.1 against 100 nationally - which is what the starting home price below is adjusted for, instead of a flat national default.

Maine taxes income at graduated rates up to about 7.15%.

That makes it the 25th most expensive state in the country by this measure, out of 51 - worth knowing before assuming a national-average mortgage payment applies here.
