Northwest Vermont’s housing market saw notable movement in October 2025, reflecting a continued shift as inventory trends upward and prices begin to soften. The median sales price continues to rise. The median sales price in October settled at $539,900, up 8% from September and up 14.6% year over year. Despite the continued rise of prices, deals are happening. Closed sales rose to 205, marking both monthly and annual gains. Homes took longer to sell this month, with median days on market increasing to 17. Sellers received 98.9% of their list price, a slight month-over-month dip. This shows that negotiations are happening and sellers are not always selling for the full list price. Inventory remains a key story—active listings reached 389, up 15.1% compared to last October, giving buyers more options even as new listings declined to 193 from the previous month.

Selling your Vermont home this fall? Make the most of the autumn market by blending essential maintenance with seasonal curb appeal improvements. Here are five key ways to get your home ready:

1. Boost Your Curb Appeal

First impressions matter. Refresh your front door by painting it a neutral color if needed, and add simple seasonal decor such as a potted mum or wreath. Rake leaves, trim overgrown bushes, and tidy up your garden beds to create a welcoming and well-kept exterior.

2. Clean Gutters and Spruce Up the Exterior

Clogged gutters can lead to water damage and pest problems. Remove leaves and debris, and consider pressure washing siding and washing windows. A clean exterior not only prevents issues but also makes your home look cared-for and inviting.

3. Inspect Your Roof and Trim Trees

Check for missing shingles, cracks, or damage before winter weather hits. Trim back branches near your home to prevent limbs from falling on the roof during storms. Taking care of these tasks now can avoid costly repairs later and give buyers confidence in your property's upkeep.

4. Service Fireplaces and Safety Systems

Have your chimney and fireplace serviced before listing. This gives you time to address any issues and gives potential buyers peace of mind. Also, test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries if needed. If you sell a property in Vermont, it must have functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in place before closing.

5. Prepare Windows and Outdoor Spaces

Wash windows and remove screens to showcase your windows and the view. Keep patios, porches, and outdoor areas clear of fallen leaves and clutter. Add subtle fall touches like pumpkins or planters to make outdoor spaces feel inviting and highlight the lifestyle your home offers.
