Vermont home prices continue steady increase in first half of 2024
New Vermont Property Transfer Tax (PTT) data shows recent trends in the home sale market have continued in the first half of 2024. During that time, the median sale price of year-round homes increased an additional 5%, compared to the median price of $325,000 in 2023. At the same time, the median length of days a Vermont home is on the market for sale has remained at a historic low point, suggesting demand to buy homes in Vermont remains high despite increasing sale prices. Additionally, new analysis shows that secondary homes account for about a quarter of all Vermont home sales each year. These datasets, and many others about Vermont’s housing market, are available for free on VHFA’s housingdata.org.
