Both single-family homes and condos showed substantial price appreciation in Chittenden County. The median sale price of single-family homes rose to $505,050 – a record high. Newly listed properties dropped 15.4% to 559. Pending single-family homes in May, an indicator of home sales to come, were flat with last year and showed a 10.2% decline over a 12-month average. Limited choice and slowing buyer demand are two contributing factors to this decline.
While condominium options are slightly more plentiful in Chittenden County, new inventory was down 1.3% from 2021 with 376 new listings. Limited inventory continued to put pressure on prices as the median sale price of condominiums appreciated to $340,000, a nearly 22% increase over last year. Higher interest rates, coupled with inflation are slowing cooling demand. It is anticipated that inventory will gradually increase, slowing down price appreciation.
