May 2013 Market Statistics
The Northwestern Vermont Board of REALTORS® (NVBR) has released its real estate market statistics for May 2013. The information is derived from data contained in the Northern New England Real Estate Network® and covers Chittenden, Franklin and Grand Isle Counties.
Comparisons to last year at this time:
- New listings increased 21.8 percent to 369 new properties
- Median sales price increased .4 percent to $246,000
- Inventory continued to drop, down 27.5 percent to 966 units
- Pending Sales rose again this month, up 27.7 percent to 221
We're almost halfway through the year and the market is robust. "As the summertime heats up, so does the market. There is a strong demand for homes in all three county areas", said Kathleen Sweeten, Executive Vice President of NVBR.
Karin will be reporting mid-July on the first six months of 2013, comparing the market to the first six months of 2012. We are looking forward to seeing if our increased activity lines up with the statistics on market as a whole.

Summer in Vermont

| Vermont has so much to do in the summertime, from festivals, to exhibits, from plays to live music. Something is always happening in our area. For a calendar of different events and ideas of things to do click here.
Summer is also a great time to dine on all the local fruits and vegetables. On any given weekend you can find several farmers' markets or any number of different festivals, tours, dinners, etc. Vermont has always been a leader in this area. For more information about farmers markets in the area and for a complete schedule of where and when they happen click here.
