VERY excited to share this with you: Northwest Vermont Market Report

SO many people ask me every day: "How is our Real Estate Market Doing?". Whether you are a homeowner, buyer, or seller- or even just THINKING about one day possibly purchasing a home, virtually everyone wants to know how the greater Burlington area is faring throughout this "housing crisis" that is being experienced throughout so much of the country. As I have said before, Real Estate is entirely local, so national statistics on the housing market don't necessarily pertain to our area (particularly given how stable our market has remained- fist pump!). Long story short, noting this discrepency between national stats and our local stats, the incredibly innovative and ever-so-clever people that I work with compiled the first ever....(drumroll please)....wait for it....wait for it....Northwest Vermont Market Report. TA DA!

This report truly is a work of art (contain your excitement). It contains a plethora of valuable information based on the most recent sales from our summer season: May through August of 2011. Stats from Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle, and Addison county have been compiled and tediously analyzed in preparing this report. Go ahead, take a peek at how the market in your town is holding up!

I would love to hear any feedback you might have from this. Not to worry, this is the first, but not the last of these reports...much more info coming your way courtesy of Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty!

To view the full report (or at least catch a few of the highlights), click here. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you!

OHHH: While I have your attention, don't forget to check out my Open House in Burlington this weekend, mentioned here.

Happy Reading!
