Summer 2026
Summer is finally here after a beautiful spring, and we are all looking forward to enjoying all that our area has to offer. Boating, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking or swimming at our scenic beaches and parks, hiking the Green Mountains and biking to name a few!
The market continues to move in all sectors. Even with the interest rates hovering at 6.25% for a 30-year fixed rate, we are seeing buyers in all price ranges. We saw 323 single-family homes closed through end of May just slightly below the 346 we saw in 2025 and ahead of the 306 we saw in 2024. 41 multi-families have closed through the end of May this year, right on track for the 46 we saw last year.
Listing inventory is continuing to increase. We saw 205 single-family homes available as of June 1st and 155 condominiums. That is a 18.5% increase for single-family homes from the same time last year and a 46% increase for condominiums. Multi-families are holding strong with 44 active in Chittenden County.
As inventory grows, buyers have more choices than they have had in recent years, creating a healthier and more balanced market. That said, with just 2.8 months of supply, we still remain in a seller's market. Well-priced properties in desirable locations continue to attract strong interest, but buyers are taking a more thoughtful approach and becoming increasingly selective. For sellers, this means preparation, pricing, and presentation matter more than ever. For buyers, the increase in inventory provides greater opportunities and flexibility to find a home that truly fits their needs.
In a market like this, we are seeing that condition matters. However, speed does not necessarily mean you’re maximizing your property’s value. To do that, you need a thoughtful and comprehensive marketing plan. If you’re thinking of selling, reach out to us for a private consultation so we can discuss how we achieve exceptional results for our clients. Check out our fantastic website at www.nancyjenkins.com. While you are there do not miss taking a 3D tour of our properties. We have the top technology for our properties that bring the homes to life and allow you to virtually walk through the home to see all the features. We found many of the folks buying from out of the area able to purchase without even visiting the home. It will continue to reach folks and aid in their search for the property that meets their needs.
Our experienced team is ready to assist you in reaching your goals both for your home, investment property, or even a vacation home.
Congratulations to our 29th Annual Nancy Jenkins Real Estate Scholarship recipient, Kali Ali! Kali will be attending St. Michael's College this fall, where she plans to pursue a degree in Health Sciences. We are proud to support local students as they continue their education and wish Kali the very best in this exciting next chapter.
