Surrounded by Lake Champlain, Grand Isle County has long been a destination for Vermonters and tourists alike. As lifestyles changed as a result of the COVID -19 pandemic, Grand Isle County proved even more desirable for those able to work remotely. Still a quick drive to Chittenden County, Franklin County, and Burlington International Airport – single-family home sales have increased by more than 77% so far in 2021. Inventory levels proved healthy enough to satisfy new buyers while keeping the pace of the market reasonable at nearly three months from listing to closing. Alburgh accounted for 37% of the homes sold across Grand Isle County. Affordability of this northernmost town, coupled with 34 new homes coming to market, likely contributed to this surge.
