The Vermont Statewide Housing Conference is proud to announce its lineup of 18 workshops, in-depth plenary panel and nationally-acclaimed keynote speaker Barry Zigas. Register online today for this important event!

The 78 recently-completed apartments at the Harrington Village and Wright House developments in Shelburne will help area households keep their housing costs affordable. Funded largely through housing tax credits provided by VHFA, the apartments are a much-needed addition to the area’s tight rental housing stock.

Thanks to low interest rates and a little known housing program making a big impact, this is a great time to buy a home. The Housing Acquisition & Rehabilitation Program (HARP), administered by VHFA, is helping qualified home buyers purchase beautifully restored and energy efficient homes.

Between January and June, the median price of a primary home sold in Vermont was about 4% lower than it had been in 2013. Statewide, the median price dipped to $192,250 from $200,000 in 2013.
