The COL in Southern Maine seriously spiked in the last 10 years when the housing market was at the bottom. Property values, in many cases, have tripled which has really wreaked havoc for anyone who didn't personally realize those gains. If we didn't buy our house in Portland in 2014, we'd probably still be renting while watching the gap between our available down payment and the needed down payment continue to grow.
