Econ is simple in some ways. More people, more demand. VT for years was the #1 move in state in the US. Now people have set a trend of leaving - they are leaving!!
You should personally thank your state government for taxes driving out working VTers - especially property tax.
And no one wants to talk about what 1) proficiency based education has done to the folks how use to move here to raise their kids, and 2) the VT biz sector isn’t attracting outside talent.
What does this mean. Real Estate demand is dropping in Vermont, and dropping fast!
Vermont posted the largest population decline by percentage in the country last year, losing more than 1,800 residents, Census estimates show.
