December in Maine brings a special kind of magic; holiday lights along the waterfront, crisp winter air, and a season that invites us to slow down and reconnect.
In this month’s Monthly Connection, we’ve pulled together a mix of local lifestyle, timely market insights, and a little holiday humor — all rooted in what makes Maine feel like home.
Inside the December edition, you’ll find:
- A guide to holiday events and seasonal things to do around Greater Portland and the surrounding communities
- Highlights of what’s happening in Portland this month, from traditions to local favorites
- A snapshot of recent home sales and how the market is closing out the year
- The latest update on mortgage rates and what that may mean heading into the new year
- Several new videos, including our Christmas message, the story behind Maine’s iconic earmuffs, and a playful holiday spin on Antiques Roadshow — the “Christmas Roadshow”
Whether you’re actively thinking about a move, keeping an eye on the market, or simply enjoy staying connected to Maine life, this edition of The Monthly Connection is designed to inform, entertain, and inspire.

As the first lights flicker on around the city, Portland settles into the season. The waterfront takes on a soft glow, the air feels brighter, and familiar streets start to carry a quiet sense of celebration. From longtime traditions to simple moments that feel a little more special this time of year, the start of winter in Portland has a way of inviting everyone in.
At Maine Home Connection, we believe real estate is about more than transactions — it’s about people, place, and community. This season, we’re grateful to be part of yours.
