The Franklin County market trended similar to other counties in northwest Vermont in the first half of 2022, with a decline in new inventory resulting in a reduction in home purchases. However, buyer demand remained strong, as indicated by a sharp 26% decline in days on market (the number of days a property is listed until it closes) and an increase of +20% in the median sale price of single-family homes.

Franklin County is one of our most diverse counties, including active cities like St. Albans, lakeside communities, ski areas, and agricultural properties. The commute to Burlington and Chittenden County is relatively easy.

The median sale price for a home in Franklin County reached $295,000 in 2021. While the price has increased 41% since 2018, the county still provides the most affordable options in northwest Vermont. More homes were listed for sale during the first half of the year, while condos coming to market increased by nearly 20% by year end. The average days on the market dropped to only 46 days from listing to close for single family homes – so buyers need to be well prepared to act when the right property hits the market. St. Albans topped the county in sales by a large margin, followed by Swanton, Fairfax, and Georgia. The median sale price of $380,000 in Fairfax was 29% above the county average, but still 14% lower than the median price in nearby Chittenden County. With easy access to I-89, these towns provide options for buyers commuting to work. Traveling east, the towns of Sheldon, Berkshire, and Montgomery posted significant increases in the number of homes sold in 2021. Work from home opportunities as well as vacation home purchases may be part of the reason for growth in this area of Franklin County.

The median sales price for a single-family home in Franklin County has reached $267,250 – a 32% increase since 2018. Still, the county remains the most affordable in northwest Vermont. More homes and condos were available for purchase during the 1st half of 2021 than during the same period last year. This offered more options for buyers to consider in their home search – while still needing to be well prepared to act when the right property hit the market. The average days on market (DOM) – from listing closing was only 51 days. St. Albans topped the county in sales by a large margin – followed by Swanton, Fairfax and Georgia. Fairfax, the highest-priced town, posted a median sales price 38% above the county average. Our Agents have noted that the multiple offer frenzy has slowed a bit, and the continued closure of the Canadian border has prevented some second home sales.
