Vermont home sales, prices up in June

Vermont experienced a boost in both total transactions, up 14.8 percent, and median price, up 7.7 percent, year-over-year, though inventory is down. Overall, New England’s summer housing market kicked off in high gear according to the RE/MAX of New England June Housing Report.
The RE/MAX Report shows a very solid month for home sales across the region with marked increases month-over-month and year-over-year. Every state in New England experienced double digit sales growth year-over-year with Rhode Island once again experiencing the largest increase in the region at 32.2 percent. Connecticut and New Hampshire also experienced double-digit growth in median price, month-over-month and year-over-year. Overall, median prices are on the rise with a 7.1 percent increase over last June.
‘Inventory will continue to be a key housing recovery indicator,’said Dan Breault, EVP/Regional Director of RE/MAX of New England. ‘New England inventory is up in every state except Rhode Island and Vermont, but as prices continue to rise, more sellers will come off the sidelines.’
