Comprising 60 lakes across 20 towns, the Lakes Region of southwestern Maine saw all lakefront homes sell for over the asking price in 2021 for the first time. Last week, 35 lakefront homes in the region were on the market, 20 of them for more than $1 million. Another 28 home sales were pending, and most of those were on the market for less than seven days. Different people opt for a lakefront home than for one on the ocean. Rather than craving the views and crashing waves of the ocean, lakefront dwellers like to recreate in the water, which tends to be warmer than the ocean and easier to access.
