Colchester Vermont Market Snapshot

What’s going on with real estate?

Now that the federal tax credit deadline has passed things should be returning to “normal”. What normal will be should prove to be interesting…
Following are real estate statistics for Colchester Vermont as of 05.06.10:

Homes for sale: 85

Average List Price: $472,218

Currently Under Deposit: 39

Sold Year to Date: 37

Average Sale Price: $249,744

Average Days on Market: 93

The above statistics include both condos and single family homes. These numbers can vary widely depending on several factors including but not limited to location, style, condition and circumstances.

Call or email us for statistics specific to your neighborhood, town or city.

Will the $8,000 federal tax credit be extended?

John Abry — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 01:44:36 +0000

The market continues to plug along here in Chittenden County. According to the local MLS, as of October 1st, there were 952 homes listed for sale in Chittenden County which is only 33 more than the same time last year. The average time on market was 131 days. The absorption rate (which is the amount of time it would take to sell all the homes on the market at the current rate of sales) is 7.8 months which is not too bad given our current “economic situation” (3 to 6 months is considered a healthy market). The year to date average single family home sales price was down less than 2% to $307,974 compared to last year and the year to date average condo fared much worse, down almost 10% to $207,729.

The 1st time home buyer federal tax credit has been the driving force of the market over the last few months but, that is scheduled to expire on November 30th – less than a month and a half away. Those who have not yet taken advantage of this tax credit opportunity may find its now too late as traditional closing times continue to grow longer with the many changes that continue to take place in the banking and mortgage world.

There are rumours that the tax credit may be extended or even expanded but, right now that is all they are – rumours. We won’t really know until it happens – or – as a true Vermonter might say “hard tellin’ not knowin’ ”

Pending home sales on a record roll

John Abry — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:30:44 +0000

Contract activity for pending home sales nationally has risen for six straight months, a pattern not seen in the history of the index since it began in 2001, according to the National Association of Realtors®.The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in July, increased 3.2 percent to 97.6 from a reading of 94.6 in June, and is 12.0 percent higher than July 2008 when it was 87.1. The index is at the highest level since June 2007 when it was 100.7.Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the housing market momentum has clearly turned for the better. “The recovery is broad-based across many parts of the country. Housing affordability has been at record highs this year with the added stimulus of a first-time buyer tax credit,” he said.
According to our local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) statistics Chittenden County numbers have not been quite as consistent. While local pending home sales peaked at 112 in May (one less than 2008) we have lagged behind last years numbers for 5 out of seven months (see chart). There has not been a large gap but, a gap none the less proving once again that Vermont and Chittenden County usually lag behind the nation in just about any statistic.
Time will tell if our rebound catches up with the rest of the nation but, we seem pretty happy in our office just coming off two near record months of sales. The majority of the sales still seem to be first time home buyers wanting to beat the November deadline and cash in on the $8,000 federal tax credit. So, December will certainly be a telling month.

Burlington Vermont makes another Top 10

John Abry — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 01:35:03 +0000

Our beloved Burlington Vermont has made it into yet another Top 10. According to the August 2009 Issue of Backpacker Magazine Burlington came in 8th as “one of the best cities to raise an outdoor kid”. Why you ask? Here’s what they say:

Kids can enroll in weeklong wilderness-survival summer camp
Healthiest city in U.S. (CDC)
Home to IBM, 3 colleges, Burton Snowboards, Ben & Jerry’s
Minutes from trailheads in Adirondacks and Green Mountains
Pedal to Lake Champlain’s islands (and Canada) on the 12-mile Island Line Trail

This is yet one more answer to the question we are always asked: why do you live here? Need I say more
