Grand Isle County single-family market continues its upward trajectory in 2025, with the median sale price rising to $500,000, a 25% increase over the previous year. This reflects the county’s growing appeal as a luxury and lifestyle destination. The average price also rose sharply to $613,750, an increase of over 31%, indicating that higher-end properties are contributing to market growth.

Inventory saw a mild boost with 83 new listings, up nearly 4% from the prior year. However, this modest increase hasn’t yet translated to a higher volume of sales. Homes are spending slightly more time on the market, with average days on market (DOM) rising to 66 days. The slower pace is subtle but could be an early sign that buyers are starting to push back on pricing—or simply taking more time due to limited options.

Looking at the town-level data, Grand Isle posted the highest median sale price at $665,000, with a staggering 70.5% year-over-year increase, despite only eight homes sold. South Hero followed with a median price of $689,000, though its price increase was more modest at 15.7%. In contrast, Isle La Motte saw a significant price decline of 44%, bringing the median sale price to $356,500 on only 4 sales. This wide variation highlights the diverse nature of the county’s housing stock and buyer preferences. Notably, North Hero experienced a rebound in activity with an impressive 175% increase in homes sold, paired with an average DOM of just 36 days—suggesting strong interest and faster transactions in that submarket.

Apple Island Resort is located on the shores of Lake Champlain in South Hero Vermont. This idyllic community welcomes residents and visitors alike to experience a harmonious blend of natural beauty and luxurious amenities.

Increased inventory (+8.97%) offered more options for buyers, but the average days on market (DOM) rose to 47 days, reflecting some moderation in buyer urgency. Buyers, many searching for their lakefront dream home, appear to wait for the “right” property to hit the market and then move quickly.

The land market saw a slight decline in median sales price (-4%) to $90,000, while inventory decreased by 8.33%. Whether buying or selling, a Realtor’s expertise is crucial for navigating this diverse market and achieving your goals.

Grand Isle County Mid-Year Report

241 East Shore North, Grand Isle, VT ~ Discover serenity in this 3-bedroom, 3-bath lakefront home on 10.4 acres, offering majestic views of Lake Champlain & the Green Mountains.

The housing market in Grand Isle is typically cooler during the first 6 months of the year. With only 37 sales during this period, the reported data can be misleading. The median sale price of single-family homes was stable at $400,000 yet lower than the 2023 year-end median price of $423,000. No luxury home sales have been closed so far in 2024, which is very likely to change during the summer months. 81 single family homes were listed during the period which will likely result in an increase in units sold through the 3rd and 4th quarters of the year.
