Washington County Mid-Year Report

Montpelier, Vermont’s charming capital city, is located in the north-central region of the state. Home to Vermont’s iconic golden dome of the Vermont State House, Montpelier holds the oldest active legislative halls in the United States that have preserved their original interior.

Home to the state capital of Montpelier, with Barre being the most populous municipality, the Washington County real estate market is robust and varied. A 6.6% increase in single family homes for sale helped meet buyer demand, increasing the number of closed sales by the same percentage. While the median price across the county is one of the most affordable in this report, there are broad ranges between the resort towns and the business & population centers.

Once again, severe storms in July caused widespread flooding across the area, damaging properties and infrastructure in Barre and Plainfield, among others. It is too soon to know how these areas will rebuild and what the effect will be on the housing market. In the meantime, the resiliency of Vermonters and support of our communities is strong.
