This is How Much a Typical Home Costs in Vermont

For many, homeownership is the cornerstone of the American Dream. As of January 2021, a typical single-family home in the United States costs $269,039. Of course, home values are not uniform across the country, and in some states, the typical home costs far more than the national average — while in others, homes cost far less.

According to estimates from Zillow, a Seattle-based real estate data company, the value of a typical single-family home in Vermont is $277,364, about 3% higher than the national average.

Housing prices are determined by supply and demand forces as well as what local residents are willing to pay — and that is influenced largely by what they can afford. As a result, areas with higher than average home values often also have higher-income residents. Vermont is an exception, however. The typical household in the state earns $63,001 annually, $2,700 less than the national median household income of $65,712.

Just as home values are higher than average in Vermont, the overall cost of living is too. The average cost of goods and services across the state are 3% more than they do nationwide, on average.

Across Vermont, home values are climbing at a relatively slow pace. The value of a single-family home across the state increased by 6.06% over the one year period from January 2020 to January 2021, 3.05 percentage points slower than the average national one-year home value appreciation of 9.12%.
