Stowe Vermont Real Estate
Stowe, Vermont is a four-season resort ski town. Like many resort towns, Stowe has a lot of vacation and second homes. We have a full time population of about 4,500 people, but at certain times of the year, our population swells with skiiers, leaf peepers, craft and art fans, antique car show buffs, or just folks from the "big" cities such as NYC, Boston, or Montreal who want to slow down and enjoy the beauty of a New England small town.
But also like many resort towns, the sale of real estate has been slowed down by the recession. 2009 has seen an increase of real estate inventory and a decrease in sales. However, August has seen activity from buyers that we have not seen in awhile. The Realtors® are busy showing homes again! We are even seeing multiple offers again. Although the current sold numbers don't show a dramatic gain, there are currently 10 homes under contract - 4 of which are over $500,000. So far, from Jan. 1, 2009 through August 1, 2009 the Average List Price of homes sold was $588,357 which is higher than 2008. The average Sale Price of homes sold was $521,000 - a bit lower that 2008's $535,000.
