Editor’s notes on Vermont
Written March 2026; conditions may have changedVermont's ultra-tight market has been transformed by pandemic-era remote workers seeking clean air, outdoor access, and community. Inventory is critically constrained in a state that never built enough housing. Burlington is one of the most competitive small cities in America on a per-capita basis.
For buyers
Inventory is extremely limited — you need to be ready to move fast when the right property appears. Remote work stipend programs from Vermont are worth investigating.
For sellers
Outstanding seller conditions. Presentation still matters — VT buyers are quality-conscious and value authentic, well-maintained properties.
