Plain and simple: new listings in Vermont are on the rise in a big way

When we look at the number of new listings in Orange, Washington, and Chittenden counties, there were 13% more new listings in 2025 than there were in 2024. The inventory is there. And you might think that with more inventory the market is slowing down. Economics 101 says more supply = less demand...right? But while there are more homes and more buyers, the speed at which homes are selling has remained remarkably consistent. This is an indication of a healthy real estate market: buyers are able to get into homes, sellers are able to close deals, and new homes continue to become available.

We all watched the Olympic speed skating. When they're coming around the last curve the skater with the inside track has a clear advantage.

In the current Vermont real estate market, that inside edge is getting in and making an offer on a house before other buyers have even gone to look at it. In 2025 it took about 30% longer for homes to sell in Orange, Washington, and Chittenden county. What does that mean for buyers? It means you have a chance to win gold (aka you get the house you want at the terms and conditions that are best for you) when you and your buyers agent stay proactive in your home search and act quickly when a property is a good fit 🥇

Attention first-time buyers📢

I've looked at A LOT of Vermont real estate data comparing 2025 to 2024 and if there's one piece of information you should pay attention to going into 2026, it's the median sale price. And not just the statewide average. You're going to want to work with a real estate professional who has been tuned in to the median sale prices in the towns you're looking to buy. That understanding of the value of those properties in the current market not only helps you plan financially, but also ensures you're making a strong and strategic offer that's likey to get accepted.

Everything else in Vermont might be frozen🥶but the real estate market isn’t!

Whether you’re a buyer or a seller or both, everyone benefits from a market that has movement. Across Orange, Washington, and Chittenden counties the number of sales were up around 12% more in 2025 than they were in 2024. That’s on average, so some towns in those counties are going to have more than a 12% increase in sales and some are going to have less.

The Vermont real estate market is not black and white anymore!

In this mini series I'm breaking down the factors contributing to this shift we're seeing when we compare the 2024 market to the 2025 market. Overall here are the bullet points for what that change looked like:

🏠More houses are on the market
🏘️More houses are being sold
💲Sale prices are slightly higher
⏱️Houses are taking longer to sell
