Market snapshot
Recent data show a mixed but active start to 2026. In January, the median sale price was about $260,000, a solid year-over-year gain. At the same time, homes are averaging more than 100 days on market, notably longer than last winter, suggesting buyers have a bit more negotiating room.
Zillow’s latest figures put the typical home value near $267,000, up 6.6% over the past year. Realtor.com reports a median list price around $275,000, with roughly 60 days on market and a sale-to-list ratio just under 100%, indicating sellers are still capturing close to asking price.
Inventory has improved from extremely tight levels. Zillow reported about 55 homes for sale at the end of January, while Realtor.com recently showed dozens of active listings across price points.
What’s for sale now
- Single-family homes in the mid-$250K to high-$270K range with 3–4 bedrooms.
- Smaller two-bedroom homes listed in the low-to-mid $200Ks.
Overall selection spans from entry-level properties under $200K to higher-end homes approaching $1M, though most activity remains concentrated below $300K.
Bigger picture
Statewide, inventory remains constrained compared with historical norms, keeping upward pressure on prices in many Vermont markets. Locally, the combination of rising values and slightly longer selling times points to a market that is still competitive, but less frenzied than peak pandemic years.
