Northwest VT Real Estate Report: What Every Home Buyer & Seller Needs  to Know

Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty released a real estate market report for Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle, and Addison counties reflecting home sales for the summer real estate season, May through August, as well as a year to date comparison. The report analyzes the data for each county, town, and within Chittenden County provides a unique analysis of by school district.

“Real estate data is often reported on a monthly or year to date basis, but not for a period of time that would represent a selling season – such as summer,” remarks Leslee MacKenzie, President/Owner of Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty, “Our goal was to make some sense of the monthly, national reports we hear about and provide local data to give homebuyers and sellers relevant information to make informed decisions. Real estate is a local business, so trends can vary by town and within each community, with that in mind we are reporting the data in a similar way that a homebuyer may search for a home– by property type, location, or within a specific school district.”

The Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty Market Report reveals sales volume across Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle and Addison counties rose 6.4% between May to August, or the summer real-estate season. For the year-to-date, however, sales rose just 3%, crimped by comparison against 2010 home sales boosted by the first-time homebuyer’s tax credit.  In addition to a break down by county and Chittenden County school district, the report summarizes trends in northwest Vermont’s luxury market, as well as multi-family investment properties.

Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty is a locally owned company affiliated with one of the most nationally recognized names in real estate, Coldwell Banker.  The agency has set the bar for marketing and selling Vermont properties, as illustrated by its consistent ranking as the #1 Coldwell Banker Office in Vermont and as one of the top Coldwell Banker companies nationwide.
