The 04978 ZIP code in Smithfield, Maine, is a small, predominantly rural residential market with roughly 450 housing properties and an estimated 700 to 800 taxable parcels when vacant land, seasonal homes, and nonresidential sites are included. Recent market activity indicates a median home price of approximately $250,000, while typical closed-sale values can vary widely because the area includes older village homes, waterfront and lake-access properties, acreage, manufactured homes, and newer rural construction. Average asking and sale values commonly equate to about $170 to $200 per square foot, with renovated homes, properties on larger lots, and homes near North Pond generally commanding higher prices. Single-family detached homes represent the clear majority of the local housing stock, accounting for about 85% to 90% of residential properties; condominiums and co-ops are extremely limited, representing approximately 1% or less of the market; and commercial properties, including small retail, service, agricultural, and mixed-use sites, make up roughly 3% to 5% of taxable properties. The remaining inventory consists largely of vacant land, camps, seasonal residences, multifamily homes, and agricultural parcels. Smithfield typically records a modest volume of arms-length residential transactions, averaging about 12 to 18 sales per year over the past 10 years, although annual activity can rise when more waterfront or move-in-ready homes enter the market. Overall, the 04978 market tends to offer lower entry prices than many Maine lakefront and metropolitan-area markets, while limited inventory and demand for rural privacy, outdoor recreation, and access to nearby Waterville and Skowhegan can support home values.
