Sales of luxury homes also slowed to a standstill, given that most high-end buyers prefer to look at the county\u2019s waterfront properties in balmier weather. That shifted the mix of home sales to lower-priced singlefamily homes, which comprise the bulk of the county\u2019s residential market. The median sale price for residential properties slipped 41.2% in the first three months of the year, although that includes one low-priced mobile home sale. Excluding that transaction, single-family homes saw their median sale price slip 25.3% to $183,000. Because Grand Isle is the smallest real estate market by volume in Northwest Vermont, a shift in only a few transactions can have a large impact in overall sales and pricing trends.<\/p>\n<p>The county has recorded two land sales in the first quarter, or little changed from the three land sales recorded a year earlier. The median sale price slipped 61% to $50,000.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-132 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hickokandboardman.com\/vermont-market-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/grandisle_table.png\" alt=\"grandisle_table\" width=\"686\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hickokandboardman.com\/vermont-market-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/grandisle_table.png 686w, https:\/\/www.hickokandboardman.com\/vermont-market-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/grandisle_table-300x89.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With below-normal temperatures hitting Vermont this winter, home buying activity in Grand Isle slowed to below typical levels.
