Summer is in full swing, and the Northwest Vermont real estate market is keeping pace. Activity picked up in June as more homes came to market, sales increased, and well-prepared buyers continued to act quickly despite ongoing interest rate considerations.

Across Grand Isle, Chittenden, and Franklin counties, the median sales price rose to $490,000, up 2.4% from May, while closed sales increased 21.5% to 237 transactions. Homes sold even faster, with the median days on market dropping to just 7 days, and sellers received an average of 100.2% of list price, indicating that well-priced properties continue to attract strong offers. At the same time, active inventory increased 11.2% to 637 homes, and new listings climbed 8.4%, giving buyers a broader selection of Vermont homes for sale than in recent months.

For sellers, today's market still offers excellent opportunities, but increased inventory means thoughtful pricing and effective marketing are more important than ever. For buyers, more available homes provide additional choices, though desirable properties are still moving quickly. While interest rates remain an important factor in purchasing decisions, local market conditions and your personal goals should guide your strategy.
