Average rent in Maine
The median asking rent in Maine is $2,500 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.
Against an average home value of $448,826, that rent level prices Maine at a 7.21% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Maine markets.
