      <image:title>Blog - The Great Shift - Remember the feeling when everyone was losing their minds over houses during the Pandemic, like there was only one donut and dozens of people lining up for it?</image:title>
      <image:caption>That was a seller’s market. But lately, the donut supply is creeping up… and the crowd is thinning. Buyers, your chance might be arriving.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Great Shift - Local Data Snapshot</image:title>
      <image:caption>Let's compare MLS data on single-family home sales from June-August, year-over-year:  Chittenden County Average sale price in 2024: $577,990 Average days on market: 20 Average sale price in 2025: $597,7500 Average days on market: 26 You'll notice a slight increase in the sale price, but almost a week longer on the market.  In Stowe, the numbers are quite different:  Sale price 2024: $1,223,969 DOM 2024: 39 Sale price 2025: $1,163,938 DOM 2025: 71</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Great Shift - Prices softening: Chittenden’s median is slipping; Stowe’s luxury homes are losing steam. If you’ve been waiting for the “peak panic price,” it may already be behind us. Homes aren’t flying off the shelf: Days on market are climbing. Buyers can actually think before making an offer (what a concept). Inventory creeping up: In Chittenden, it’s not a buffet yet, but there’s more choice. In Stowe, new condo and mid-priced listings are hitting, giving buyers room to maneuver. Luxury fatigue: Stowe’s high-end buyers are cautious, which spells opportunity for folks aiming just under that ceiling.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - The Great Shift - Chittenden County: Still technically a seller’s market, but no longer the frenzy of 2020–2022. Buyers have more leverage with slight price drops and longer listing times. Stowe: Looking much more like a buyer’s market, especially outside the very top end.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - The Great Shift - Buyers: Get your financing ready, know what good value looks like, and don’t overpay just because you remember 2021 bidding wars. Sellers: Price smart. Stage well. Don’t assume you’ll get a dozen offers over asking on day one. Everyone: Keep an eye on mortgage rates, local inventory, and those little “price cut” tags on listings—they tell the real story.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - My Listing Expired… Now What? - Seeing your home’s “for sale” status quietly expire on the MLS can feel like a gut punch. You had plans. You expected showings, offers, maybe even bidding wars. Instead—crickets.</image:title>
      <image:caption>But an expired listing isn’t the end of the story. It’s a crossroads.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67f9297326e3791bae7f4890/1757532653937-7X97C7ABV36T5QCRDHCU/unsplash-image-h1RW-NFtUyc.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - My Listing Expired… Now What? - Re-list with the Same Agent</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pros: Continuity: Your agent already knows your house, its history, and the feedback from buyers and other Realtors. Momentum: If the market was slow, sometimes just re-listing at the right time of year (spring in Vermont, for example) is enough to spark new interest. Less work for you: You don’t have to re-explain your goals, paperwork, or property quirks. Cons: Same strategy, same results: If your home didn’t sell the first time, you’ll need to ask what’s really changing this time. Price? Marketing? Staging? Otherwise, you may just repeat the cycle. Complacency risk: Sometimes agents get comfortable and don’t adjust their approach after an expired listing.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Blog - My Listing Expired… Now What? - Re-list with a New Agent</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pros: Fresh perspective: A new set of eyes might spot what wasn’t working before. Maybe it’s photography, staging, pricing strategy, or even how the home was marketed online. New energy: A motivated new agent will often put more effort into re-launching your listing, especially if they want to prove themselves. Opportunity to reset: Sometimes, switching brokers gives you a chance to shake off the “stale listing” stigma. Cons: Starting over: You’ll need to re-explain your goals, your timeline, and your property. Learning curve: The new agent may take some time to get up to speed. Potential awkwardness: If you had a good relationship with your old agent personally, switching might feel uncomfortable.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My Listing Expired… Now What? - Try FSBO (For Sale By Owner)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pros: Save commission: You keep the agent’s portion of the fee if you sell it yourself. Full control: You decide how to market, show, and negotiate the sale. Direct involvement: If you like being hands-on and know your house better than anyone, this might appeal to you. Cons: Limited exposure: Your home won’t be on the MLS (unless you pay for a flat-fee listing service), which means fewer buyers will see it. Time &amp; stress: Scheduling showings, screening buyers, negotiating offers, and managing legal paperwork all fall on you. Lower offers: Studies show FSBO homes often sell for less, partly because buyers expect a “discount” when there’s no agent involved.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My Listing Expired… Now What? - Rent or Take It Off the Market</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pros: Breathing room: If you don’t need to sell right now, pressing pause can take the pressure off. Rental income: Turning your home into a rental could cover your mortgage (or more) while you wait for the market to shift. Market timing: You might benefit from waiting until inventory is lower or buyer demand picks back up. Cons: Carrying costs: Being a landlord isn’t free—maintenance, vacancies, and tenant issues can eat into profits. Life plans on hold: If you need the proceeds from this sale to buy your next place, waiting might not be practical. Market uncertainty: There’s no guarantee that prices will rise or conditions will improve in the near term.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Getting Your Home Ready for Winter in Vermont - Plug Up the Drafts First thing: keep that precious heat inside. Walk around the house on a chilly morning and feel for drafts by windows and doors. A little weatherstripping or one of those clear plastic window kits can make a big difference.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Don’t forget the basement and attic! They’re sneaky spots where heat loves to escape.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Getting Your Home Ready for Winter in Vermont - Give the Heater Some Love Whether you’ve got a wood stove, furnace, or boiler, it’s about to become your best friend. Call in a pro for a quick tune-up, swap out the filters, and make sure you’ve got your winter fuel lined up before prices jump.

      <image:caption>We’ve all heard the horror stories of frozen pipes. A bit of pipe insulation in the basement or crawl space is cheap insurance. And if you’re heading out of town, keep the thermostat set around 55 just to be safe.</image:caption>
