It is an exciting time in real estate. The Chittenden County market is healthy with 279 single family homes and 72 condominiums available. Interestingly, deposits and closed sales are down slightly year-to-date and some segments of the market are showing a softening in price while others are not experiencing any effect.
Most of us have seen on the news or read of the possibility of a “Real Estate Bubble” in the United States. Some areas in Florida (Naples and Miami are two) have been experiencing over 20% annual price increases for the last several years and are places to watch. Federal Reserve Chairman warned on May 20th that real estate speculation had accelerated recently. Our area has had strong appreciation over the last five years, with many properties increasing significantly in value since 2000. Although we may not see the price of homes and condominiums increase at these rates for the foreseeable future, as one economist said during the last boom, “Nobody rings a bell at the top of a market.”
It is still a great time to invest in Vermont for a second home, investment property, or a family move. Rates are at historically low levels which makes homes more affordable, and availability is up. Although some parts of the country are overvalued, Vermont is considered to be fairly valued. If a move is in your future- call Nancy today.
Nancy & The Jenkins Team
P.S. If you have held rental property for a long term investment and have used all of your depreciation, you may want to consider selling and trading up to another more expensive property using IRS Section 1031 (tax free exchange). If you would like more information on a 1031 Tax Free Exchange, let us know – it is one of our specialties.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
When we called Nancy we did not plan to use a Realtor to sell our home. We had successfully sold two other homes on our own. Once we chatted with her we knew she was the person we needed to help us sell our home quickly and efficiently. We wanted the best and that is what we got. Because of Nancy and her team of specialists, our home sold very quickly and we got out of the sale what we wanted dollar wise. We had none of the hassles associated with “For Sale By Owner.” The Jenkins Team has helped make our dream of living in Arizona a reality. Not only did they sell the house in Vermont, they also helped up find a Realtor in Arizona and helped us get our belongings moved as well. To say thank you doesn’t seem like enough….but THANK YOU!
