burlington vermont real estate: Why Use A Buyers Agent When Buying Real Esate in and around Burlington VT
- 03/02/11 03:02 AM
Burlington VT - March 1st, 2011
To answer this question, let me begin by asking a question. When you are in a legal proceeding, would you have the lawyer representing the person sitting across the table from you represent you as well? The answer is so simple. Of course not.
Why then when buying a house or property which for many people represents one of the largest financial decisions of their lives would you utilize the Realtor who represents the Seller(s) to safeguard your best interests as the Buyer(s)?
In Vermont, we do not have “dual agency.” Some states do allow this (where one … (1 comments)

burlington vermont real estate: Efficiency Vermont helps all Vermonters
- 02/25/11 02:33 AM
Burlington VT - February 24th, 2011
There is an organization you may know of or not. And if you are new to Vermont, you most assuredly need to be aware that Efficiency Vermont exists.
To sumarize, Efficiency Vermont was created in 1999 when the Vermont legislature passed a law creating the nation’s first ratepayer-funded energy efficiency utility providing energy efficiency services to business owners, homeowners and renters to reduce their energy costs.
Since its inception, Efficiency Vermont has been working diligently to help Vermonters reduce their annual energy costs which results in utilities not having to buy as much … (1 comments)

burlington vermont real estate: There’s Life On The Corner
- 02/24/11 03:49 AM
South Burlington VT February 23rd, 2011
Remember the old song “Down On The Corner” by Creedence Clearwater Revival? Well, it just might be we’re heading Back to the Future.
There is a shift in Vermont real estate trends that is now underway.
An article this week in the Burlington Free Press by Matt Sutkoski entitled, “Data Shows Vermonters Moving Back Towards The City”, in which the author made several interesting conclusions. Mr. Sutkoski writes there is “evidence that policy, planning tools, economic realities and people’s housing choices are beginning to shift the focus of growth toward Vermont’s village centers and downtowns”.

burlington vermont real estate: First Night in Burlington Vermont
- 12/29/10 03:33 AM
This New Year's Eve, celebrate First Night in Burlington Vermont! If you haven't been to a First Night in Burlington yet, keep it in mind this year. Where else can you pay $18 to get into so many, many venues? Okay, a few of the choice concerts at the Flynn Theater added $3 more to the night per person per event but it's laughable how much fun can be had for such a modest outlay.
For a brief history, First Night originated in Boston Massachusetts in 1976 by a small group of artists who sought an alternative way of celebrating New Year's Eve, creating an event … (1 comments)

burlington vermont real estate: National Real Estate Market Slow; Vermont MLS Volume Up
- 11/11/10 03:27 AM
I was interviewed last week for my views by the reporter from the VPOR. Below is the article in full...
-------------
NATIONAL REAL ESTATE MARKET SLOW; VERMONT MLS VOLUME UP
National reports on property sales and prices tell a familiar story for the last months of the summer: a market varying from month to month and location to location, but in no hurry to recover from the market plunge of recent years. By comparison, Vermont’s market still looks better than most.
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) offered the most optimistic report, announcing on October 25 that sales of existing … (1 comments)

burlington vermont real estate: Burlington Vermont Fireworks - July 3, 2010
- 07/14/10 08:41 AM
The Fireworks show in Burlington Vermont this year were spectacular! Earlier in the evening (around 8:20) there was a special stunt air plane show which ended with some daylight fireworks. The stunt pilot dived repeatedly while releasing bright-colored smoke and the fireworks went up in the smoke. As usual the main Burlington fireworks show started at around 9:30 and it was quite a show. I think the Burlington Fireworks show gets better each year. Apparently they cost $40,000 for this year's show, $5,000 more than last year. The good news is that it doesn't cost Burlington Vermont taxpayers a dime as … (0 comments)

burlington vermont real estate: 10 Steps To Hunting for Burlington Vermont Real Estate With A Well Trained Eye
- 04/21/10 03:46 AM
Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Burlington VT Real Estate
It sounds like a great listing – in your price range – in a good neighborhood – with features you’re looking for. First impressions mean a lot – but you find the bushes are overgrown, the front hallway is covered with tacky foil wallpaper, the kitchen cabinets are painted dark brown, the living room rug smells musty, and the hardwood floors have black water marks on them.
Should you head back out the door? Maybe. But to fully determine whether you should cross this house off of your list you’ll need to gather … (1 comments)

Burlington Vermont
Tha age old factors of condition, price and location are influencing our market more so now than in recent memory.
Just a few years ago, Sellers were enjoying multiple offers in all price ranges. Today, the part of the market that is humming along is everything essentially under $300,000. That is the sweet spot in the market for sure.
In Burlington, Charlotte, Colchester, Essex Junction, Essex Town, Milton, Shelburne, South Burlington, and Williston sales for all of 2009 show the average sale to list price ratio being at or above 95%. Of course, much depends on the three factors … (0 comments)
