Maine number 2 and Vermont number 3. Interesting.

[dfwgator]

Aren’t those basically vacation homes?

[Boogieman]

Basically, people don’t like to live in the cold, even less so if it’s cold and full of leftists.

[McGavin999]

Maine is a beautiful state, but judging by the senators they send to DC it doesn’t speak well for the state.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Attention Mayor Adams...lots of houses available for your undesirable visitors in Maine, Alaska and Vermont. Get those busses warmed up and ready to roll...

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'

Here are the states with the lowest vacant housing rates:
California—8.5 percent
Washington—8.7 percent
Iowa—9.5 percent
Connecticut—9.9 percent
Ohio—9.9 percent
Nebraska—10.02 percent
Oregon—10.03 percent
Illinois—10.1 percent
Colorado—10.3 percent
Minnesota—10.6 percent
Utah—10.7 percent

I knew Oregon would be on the list. No drugs are illegal and the best welfare in the world. All sanctuary state.
We will be buried with illegals and there’s no place to live! I’ve been trying to get home after the Alameda fire for 3 years.

[Codeflier]

I would like a definition of “vacant”

[Othniel77]

I can’t believe Hawaii has high vacancies. There is such a housing shortage campsites can go for $1000 a month (not quite an exaggeration). Are they counting the second houses that these leftist millionaires own as vacant?

[PIF]

Vacation homes count as ‘vacant’?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sounds like some states who need a good dose of “refreegeez”.

[woodbutcher1963]

The reason there are so many empty houses in northern New England is that those vacation houses are easy driving distance from all the big northeastern cities. So, many people that live in Boston, Providence, NYC, Hartford, etc can drive to those vacation homes in a few hours.

[aquila48]

That would imply that houses are really cheap there.

Is that the case?

[EEGator]

I was thinking of moving to NH.
Maybe I’ll check out Vermont.

[Mr.Unique]

Maine has the most vacant housing out of all 50 states, according to new research from real estate website LAHomes.

Oh, a California real estate company did the research? It must be sound. /s

[Sequoyah101]

Is this counted as a vacant "home"? Surely not. We have lots of those around here. I have burned and buried one with two to go. Once the roof leaks they are gone for good.

"

Why didn't they give the full list?

[Flatus I. Maximus]

Ah, just the places to ship all those undocumented immigrants. We need more squatters breaking into and taking up residence in other people’s unused homes. All the more enlightened countries have that solution to the housing problem.

[JimRed]

Are second/vacation homes unoccupied at the time of counting counted as vacant? That might skew Maine’s numbers.

[AlaskaErik]

Vacancy rates mean nothing. Try finding a place to rent in Alaska. It’s almost impossible and landlords are very picky. I see it all the time. All those vacant homes must be second homes in trendy areas, because they’re certainly not on the rental market.

[vetvetdoug]

I live in rural N. Central Arkansas close to the Missouri state line and forty minutes from Branson. There are few homes for rent. I built a log cabin at the expense of around $300K and it appraised at $150K for taxes. I’m not complaining. The area also is demographically acceptable.

Alaska, Maine, and Vermont.

So now we know where to send the migrants.
