In Brief:

Summer seems to be on its way, but the super-warm and humid days have not hit the Mad River Valley yet. There have been more clouds than sunshine, and rain seems to be in the forecast every weekend. However, we may be spared this weekend, but the sun will still be elusive at best. The grass sure is green and the leaves are all filled in an amazing transformation that we see every year. The real estate inventory is also growing! Will this summer be as frantic and competitive as the last several years? Stay tuned to find out…

Recreation and the forecast:

Between the air and water temperatures, it’s still a bit cool to be jumping into the popular swimming holes here in the valley. However, the hiking and biking trails are starting to firm up a bit after a very wet spring. I also saw a street sweeper on RT 100 last week which should make the road cyclists happy. We’re fast approaching the busy summers season which kicks off with the famous Warren 4th of July Parade. The theme this year is ‘Stand Up For Democracy,” which will surely bring out some, let’s say, colorful floats and messages. Our own David M. Dion will resume his long standing role as one of the judges after a brief hiatus last summer.  Here’s to hoping for a summer full of sunshine, mild humidity, and PLEASE, no flooding!

Now onto the market update:

Currently there are 16 single family homes under contract or pending sale in the price range of $79,900 - $1,590,000 (up from 12 last month, and up from 14 two months ago), 10 whole-ownership condominiums under contract or pending sale priced from $230,000 - $795,000 (up from 9 last month and 5 two months ago), 2 undeveloped land parcel under contract priced from  $98,000  - $132,000 (down from 4 last month, and 3 two months ago), and ZERO commercial properties under contract (ZERO last month, and ZERO two months ago).

Regarding the properties that are currently under contract, 5 of the 10 condos, 10 of the 18 single family homes, and zero of the 42 land parcels were listed after May 1, 2025. So, more than 50% of the inventory Under Contract lasted less than 25 days on the market. This shows that properly priced inventory still generally moves quickly for the most part.

Based on information from PrimeMLS, Inc. for the period 1/1/2025 through 6/13/2025.

There were 7 single family home sales in May 2025 from $130,000 - $975,000 (up from 2 sales in April).
