This state is the second-smallest state by its population, and it is also the sixth smallest state by total land area in the nation. Originally founded as the Vermont Republic in 1777, the Republic lasted for fourteen years. Vermont also became the fourteenth state to join the Union and the first state after the original thirteen colonies. It is also one of only four states that can claim to previously be a sovereign state.
Vermont is home to several small cities, and it has a diverse economy. Every small city and town has an identity, and this is what people like. You can choose to live in one of the cities or away in one of the smaller towns. The tight-knit communities appeal to people, and a lot of them are a short drive away from a larger city so they can commute to work easier. Vermont as a whole has a more laid back feel that people seem to like. You'll get a small town vibe from the state, with friendly people no matter where you choose to live. This same small town feel attracts many tourists each year.

Additionally, Vermont is home to several top-ranked colleges and universities that draws college-aged people. The change of lifestyle also draws people as the state is full of gorgeous scenery, a slower pace, and a more laid-back mindset.
People also move from Vermont for several good reasons. Although the economy is diverse, it hasn't shown much growth over the past few years, and this can drive people away in search of jobs. People also want to experience the faster-paced life they'll find in bigger cities, so they leave. The cost of living is higher in Vermont as well, and this may drive people away once they've graduated or if they simply want a change. Vermont also has one of the top ten highest property taxes rates in the national, and this can lead people to leave.
People who are at the end of their careers or people who have spent the majority of their lives in bigger cities and wanted a change find Vermont very attractive. Also, people who like year-round outdoor recreational activities like to live in this state as it has several things to do year-round thanks to the surrounding hills, dense forests, and more rural areas. College kids may also find the area attractive as there are several top-ranked colleges here for them to attend.
Vermont real estate prices are slightly higher than the national average. Homes, in some instances, may cost more than comparable homes in other parts of the nation with equivalent square footage and more amenities.
Vermont was one state that survived very well throughout the period of the real estate market collapse. The second quarter of 2006 was when the market first began to show slight signs that it was in trouble. The market had previously been on a steady rise, and at this point, it leveled out to a long plateau and gradually stopped rising. This plateau continued until the first quarter of 2008 when it climbed into a slight peak. This peak fell away, and the market began on a very gradual descent. There was another slight peak in the first quarter of 2009, but this leveled off and kept dropping quickly.
The fourth quarter of 2010 saw the market go into another slight peak before dropping to the lowest point. The second quarter of 2011 brought the lowest point which quickly rebounded into another plateau. The plateau ended in the first quarter of 2013, and the market experienced a very short drop. This drop also rebounded quickly, and the market resumed its very gradual climb. The third quarter of 2013 brought another slight peak and a drop that again recovered quickly. This pattern continued with the last peak and drop happening in the third and fourth quarters of 2016. As of the second quarter of 2017, the housing market was above its pre-crash levels.
The Burlington-South Burlington Meto also fared well during the housing market collapse. However, this Metro's housing market didn't really experience warning signs that the market was in trouble until the first quarter of 2007 when it went from a gradual climb to a peak that dropped off into a plateau. The second to the fourth quarter of 2007 stayed at a low plateau before rising into another slight peak in the first quarter of 2008. After this peak, the market began a gradual descent that was very similar to Vermont's real estate market as a whole. It had a slight peak in the first quarter of 2009 that dropped to a low plateau. This plateau continued until the market hit the lowest point in the first quarter of 2011.
Once the lowest point came, the market went on a very gradual rise. From the fourth quarter of 2011 until the first quarter of 2014, the market didn't rise or fall significantly. It stayed around the same prices until 2014 came. Once 2014 came, the market spent the first half on a peak that dropped back down by the end of 2014. 2015 had a similar pattern with an early rise and a slight plateau that dropped slightly by the end of the year. The first three quarters of 2016 were spent on a steady rise that hit a plateau for the first half of 2017. The market is currently on the rise, and the numbers have been higher than they were prior to the housing market collapse since the first quarter of 2015.
As for historical real estate trends, both the state of Vermont and the Burlington-South Burlington Metro had very similar experiences. The start of the 1990s brought a period of stability with no significant rises or falls, and this lasted uninterruptedly until the first quarter of 1994 when the market saw a very slight rise. This dropped away quickly, and the market fell slightly during the first quarter of 1995. This rebounded into another peak during the first quarter of 1996. This peak fell away as well, and the rest of 1996 was spent on a very slight downward pattern. During 1997 and 1998, the market saw two slight peaks and falls that leveled out until the third quarter of 1998.
Once 1998 came around, the market started to climb. This steady climb lasted through the start of the 2000s until the third quarter of 2002 when the market began to lag. While it was still moving upwards, it was doing so at a much slower pace. This continued until the end of 2003 when the market went into a peak. This peak was followed by another lag that peaked again in the third quarter of 2004. This peak leveled off into a more gradual climb that continued until the market began showing signs of trouble during the second quarter of 2006.
Homeownership across the state has ranged between 68% and 75% over the past 30 years. For most of the 1990s it ranged tightly between 69% to 70%, but after falling to 68.7% in 2000 ownership grew to 74.2% by 2005. In 2008 ownership dipped to 72.8%, but reached a high of 74.6% in 2011. In 2016 ownership stood at 71.3% compared to a national average of 63.4%.

As of 2024 the conforming loan limit across the United States for single-family homes was set to $766,550, with a ceiling of 150% that amount in HERA high-cost areas where median home values are higher. High local affordability makes the $766,550 ceiling apply statewide for single unit homes. Dual unit homes have a limit of $981,500, triple unit homes have a limit of $1,186,350 & quadruple unit homes have a limit of $1,474,400. Residents buying premium properties in Burlington may be above these thresholds, requiring a jumbo loan. Jumbo loans typically have a slightly higher rate of interest than conforming mortgages, though spreads vary based on credit market conditions.
Several different types of home loans are available in the Green Mountain State. Fixed-rate loans are very common, and the terms include thirty, twenty, fifteen, and ten years. The longer the life of the mortgage, the lower the monthly payment will be, which is why the 30-year loan is the most popular. The downside of this, however, is that the APR is higher compared to shorter-term loans. The difference can be as large as a full percentage point.
In addition to conventional 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, lenders offer a wide variety of adjustable rate mortgages (ARM’s). While these instruments have lost some of their attractiveness during the recession, there are still circumstances where they offer the only way for a borrower to qualify. Properly structured (that is, with strict limits on how much the rate can fluctuate), such loans are still a legitimate way for borrowers to purchase a home and start building equity while establishing their credit so as to qualify for conventional loans upon the ARM’s expiration. These loans provide interest rates that fluctuate, as the name implies. The APR is usually fixed for an initial term, such as three, five, seven or ten years. Then the rate adjusts depending on the performance of a referenced index rate, usually once per year; but it can change more frequently. The loan agreement may state in detail how frequently the APR can change, and it may also include a rate cap to prevent large changes.
Balloon mortgages are another route for aspiring homeowners. Balloon mortgages are when a large portion of the borrowed principle is repaid in a single payment at the end of the loan period. Balloon loans are not common for most residential buyers, but are more common for commercial loans and people with significant financial assets.
A few lenders in the Green Mountain State offer interest-only loans, but usually only for periods of three years. These are mortgages where payments are applied only to interest for a period of time. The loan's principal isn't paid down, so the monthly payments are very low. The low monthly payments only lasts a few years, however. Typically, it's about three years. After this period, monthly payments spike because the loan's principal hasn't been reduced & the remainder of the loan must be paid off in a compressed period of time. For example, on a 3 year IO 30-year loan, the first 3 years are interest only payments, then the loan principal must be paid in full in the subsequent 27 years.
When qualifying for a loan, a credit score of 720 or better can help secure a favorable loan. The best rates and deals will be obtained with a score above 740. There is a lot of competition among lenders, and this environment can create nice perks for borrowers. For example, some banks will offer special deals on closing costs for borrowers who qualify. The cost might be added to the mortgage or the bank will pay the closing costs but add a few basis points to the APR.
A debt-to-income ratio of 40% and a down payment of 20% are what most banks want to see on a home loan application. They will accept worse numbers, but fees and APR's could go up as a result. Also, a down payment of less than 20% typically results in required mortgage insurance. This down payment requirement does not apply for Federal assistance programs such as FHA, in which applicants can have a lower credit score and income but still receive financing.
The piggyback loan is another type of mortgage which is simply two mortgages in one. The piggyback loan can eliminate the need for private mortgage insurance by covering 80% of the home's value with the first loan, while the second loan helps to pay for part of the down payment.
Prospective home buyers who don't find what they're looking for at one of the state's private banks may want to take a look at some of the mortgage options the federal government offers. One of them is the loan program at the Veterans Administration, which provides mortgages with zero down. On top of that great deal, VA loans do not require private mortgage insurance. The agency does, however, charge a funding fee, and this varies from 1.2% to 3.3%. Making a voluntary down payment will reduce this charge. And in case you're wondering, yes you do have to be a qualified veteran to get one of these unbeatable deals.
If you're not a vet, you may want to consider the Federal Housing Administration's home loan services. The FHA offers loans to people who have a credit score of at least 580 and who can put at least 3.5% down. The government agency also offers mortgages for lower credit scores, but it requires more money down with these loans.
USDA loans can help people with low incomes in rural parts of the state qualify for a subsidized low-interest loan. Given the low population density throughout most of the state, most areas qualify.
MOVE Mortgage Program
The MOVE Mortgage Program is administered through the Vermont Housing Finance Agency, and it is designed to help its applicants get a home loan with lower interest rates. Applicants are not restricted to first-time homebuyers, but there are eligibility requirements and restrictions they have to meet including county-specific income limits and home purchase price limits.
However, if an applicant does apply and get accepted to this program, it comes with several benefits that can increase the likelihood that the buyer will be able to continue to afford their home. These benefits include:
ASSIST Down Payment Program
The ASSIST Down Payment Program is restricted to first-time homebuyers but it can help pay the down payment or closing cost fees when they purchase a property. However, in order to be eligible for this program, they must first get a home loan through one of the Vermont Housing Finance Agency's programs. The amount of funding also can't cover the entire cost of the down payment and closing cost fees. The eligibility and benefits of this program are as follows:
Homeowner's insurance policies typically do not cover flooding. Most of the state of Vermont has a very low to moderate risk of flooding. Here is county-by-county classification.
Home buyers with mortgages in high-risk areas are required to buy flood insurance. Most flood insurance policies are sold by the United States federal government through The National Flood Insurance Program. Under-priced flood insurance in high-risk areas act as a subsidy to wealthy homeowners.
The NFIP does not charge nearly enough to cover the expected costs of its liabilities. The assessments are not sufficient to build any buffer to cover an extraordinary year, such as what occurred with Hurricane Katrina in 2005 or Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Because homeowners don't incur the full cost of building in a flood zone we end up with more houses there than if homeowners incurred the full cost of the flood risk, which exacerbates the government's costs in the next disaster.
Homeowners who live in lower risk areas & are not required to purchase flood insurance heavily cross-subsidize homeowners who are in areas where floods are more common.
Most of the state has a very low eathquake risk, while the central portion of Vermont & the southeastern tip of the state have a low earthquake risk. Standard rental and homeowner insurance policies typically do not cover earthquake damage, though they usually cover losses caused by fires which resulted from an earthquake. You can supplement your homeowner's insurance with an earthquake policy.
Hail damage is not uncommon across the state. Damage from hail is typically covered by home insurance policies.
Vermont is the fifth-highest state for property tax rates in the United States. In 2016 the average Vermont assessment rate was 2.02% while the national average assessment was 1.24%. As a statewide average, property owners pay $3,444 per year, per property. This number averages out to be around 5.55% of the property owner's annual income, and this is the third-highest in the nation. The county that collects the highest property taxes in Vermont is Chittenden County with $4,096 per year. The county that collects the lowest amount of property taxes is Essex County with $1,727 per year. The median single-family home costs $255,242, which yields an annual assessment of $5,150. In Burlington the average assessment for single-family homes was $5,604.
Homestead laws work to prevent a homeowner from becoming homeless in the event the homeowner suffers from financial hardship or if the homeowner has to declare bankruptcy. A homestead is defined as a home or mobile home along with the property it sits on. Vermont has a generous Homestead law, and property owners may declare up to $125,000 in property as exempt.
The person who declares the homestead must occupy the residence as their primary home, and the debtor is the one who decides which part of the property counts as the homestead if it exceeds the $125,000 maximum cap. The property's value is based on the last property assessment value.
Vermont's mortgage lenders are required to use the judicial foreclosure method on every property that have four units or less and that are owner-occupied. In addition to this, Vermont's foreclosure process typically defaults to the strict foreclosure method. This means that the property title will be transferred directly back to the mortgage lender at the end of the foreclosure process. But the mortgage lender or the court itself can ask to bypass this method and have the property sold at a foreclosure auction.
If you are served papers which state you have a right to mediation you should fill in your information and send it to the court right away, as mediation puts the foreclosure on hold.
Vermont is also a recourse state with restrictions, and this means the mortgage lender can sue the defaulted borrower for any deficient funds they may incur for the sale of the foreclosed property. During a strict foreclosure, the mortgage lender will file a separate lawsuit to start the deficiency judgment process. During a foreclosure sale, the court may allow the mortgage lender to sue for any deficient funds, but the mortgage lender has to include this in their initial foreclosure lawsuit for it to be valid.
If the defaulted borrower chooses to go through the deed in lieu of foreclosure process, the mortgage lender usually forgives any deficient amount that may result from the lender retaining the property. However, it is a good idea to negotiate for this and have it in writing.
