🔄 More Homes Are Selling, But Not All Over Asking
In May 2025 alone, Vermont saw 632 home sales—an 11.1% increase from last year. But only 27.2% of homes sold over asking, down significantly from 2023. This signals a clear shift toward more balanced negotiations.

📉 Strategic Pricing Is More Important Than Ever
With 19.2% of homes seeing price drops, Vermont sellers must approach listing with strategy and preparation. Homes priced right—and staged well—still sell quickly. But overpricing leads to markdowns, longer days on market, and fewer offers.
💸 Mortgage Rates & Buyer Behavior
Mortgage rates are expected to hover around 6.3% to 6.6%, which slows buyer urgency but helps normalize prices. While national growth may taper to around 2%, Vermont remains ahead of the curve with consistent 5–9% appreciation, thanks to high demand and tight regional supply.
