A 2006 house a short walk from Kennebunk Beach sold for $2.52 million to lead the five highest-priced home sales publicly reported in the Portland, Maine metro area for the week ending August 9, 2026. Together those closings accounted for $10.29 million in reported Portland-area real estate.
The five sales span Kennebunk, Yarmouth, Cumberland and Falmouth, where two of the week’s closings were recorded. Build years run from 1850 to 2023, and water runs through much of the group: a beachside address in Kennebunk, a Cumberland house minutes from Casco Bay, and a riverfront custom home on the Presumpscot in Falmouth.
No. 1 — $2,515,000 · 7 Peninsula Drive, Kennebunk, Maine
The week’s highest reported price went to Kennebunk. The house at 7 Peninsula Drive, built in 2006 in a beachside neighborhood within walking distance of Kennebunk Beach, sold for $2,515,000 on August 3, 2026. It has five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a reported 2,574 square feet.
The kitchen is built around an oversized island with additional seating at a peninsula and opens into the dining and living rooms. A stone fireplace anchors the living room, and hardwood floors run through the main level. A first-floor bedroom and full bath allow for single-level living, while the second-floor primary suite adds a walk-in closet, an ensuite bath and a private deck fitted with a retractable awning. Further guest bedrooms occupy the upper floor. A porch and a deck extend the house outdoors, and the home is air conditioned for the warmer months. Dock Square, with its restaurants, shops and galleries, is minutes away.
The property went under contract 4 days after the current listing date, and it closed $265,000 above its final asking price of $2,250,000. Portside Real Estate Group was the listing brokerage on the sale; the individual agent’s name could not be verified for publication, and RealtyWire welcomes a correction from the professionals involved. The $2,515,000 transaction ranked No. 1 in RealtyWire’s Portland Metro Area Top 5 home sales for the week ending August 9, 2026.

No. 2 — $2,050,000 · 109 Main Street, Yarmouth, Maine
An 1850 residence in the middle of Yarmouth took the No. 2 position. 109 Main Street sold for $2,050,000 on August 6, 2026, and offers four bedrooms, five bathrooms and a reported 4,214 square feet in a house that has been enlarged repeatedly since it was first built.
Wide pine floors, crown molding and refurbished antique lighting remain from the original residence, while a rebuilt kitchen now flows into the gathering rooms, a sunroom, a back porch with a fireplace, a dining room and an office. The second level holds the primary suite with a spa-styled bathroom and a sun-filled sewing and craft room. Above the garage, a bonus room with a private deck and full bath serves as guest quarters or workspace. Structural, roofing and systems upgrades and a generator have been added, and the grounds are laid out with patios, walkways and gathering areas built partly from reclaimed materials. Boutiques, cafes, schools, the marina, parks and the library are all within a walk, and the town hosts the Yarmouth Clam Festival each July.
The house went under contract 20 days after the current listing date. The Flaherty Group held the listing; RealtyWire was unable to verify the individual agent’s name for publication and welcomes a correction.

Built in 2023 on more than three acres in Cumberland, 25 Daybreak Lane changed hands for $1,995,000 in a closing recorded August 7, 2026. The single-level contemporary holds three bedrooms, four bathrooms and a reported 3,261 square feet.
Soaring ceilings open the plan, and the great room centers on a wood-burning fireplace with walls of glass leading out to a stone patio, a pool and a lawn framed by woods. The kitchen is fitted with custom cabinetry, quartz surfaces, a walk-in pantry and high-end appliances, and a second gathering room has a fireplace of its own. Three en-suite bedrooms sit apart from the main rooms, and the primary suite opens directly to a covered outdoor hot tub. Geothermal heating and cooling serves the house year-round, and the high-ceilinged lower level is insulated and left for future expansion. The town beach and the waters of Casco Bay are minutes away.
