MARKET REPORT

WATERBURY VT 2024 Q1 Market Report

In the first quarter of 2024, Waterbury, Vermont's real estate market exhibited a significant shift, particularly within the single-family home segment. This period was characterized by a notable decrease in the volume of properties sold, which dropped by 70% compared to the same quarter in the previous year. Additionally, in Q1 of 2024, the average sold price saw an increase of 21.86%, and the median sold price soared by an impressive 60.23%. This unexpected rise in property values, accompanied by a stark reduction in sales volume, was largely due to 5 of the 10 listings sold in Q1 of 2023 closing for under $325K.

Additionally, the quarter observed an 18.18% decline in new listings, which is fairly common for the Waterbury market. Despite this decrease in new listings, the market conditions favored sellers for the properties that were listed, as evidenced by a 13.33% rise in the average list price and a substantial 70.73% hike in the median list price. The speed at which transactions were completed also highlighted a significant change; the average days on market reduced by 75%, and the median days on market saw a 64.29% decrease. Despite the overall reduction in transactions, this rapid pace of sales underscores a persistent demand for properties that are priced appropriately, aligning with buyer expectations and market conditions.

The first quarter of 2024 for Waterbury's real estate market thus presents a picture of a transitional phase, characterized by a reduction in sales volume but an increase in property values. This suggests a market that is adjusting to a new equilibrium, where high-value properties command significant interest despite broader market contractions. The decrease in new listings, alongside the rapid closure of sales, points to a competitive landscape for well-positioned properties. This period marks a clear deviation from previous trends, indicating a market that is increasingly selective, with a pronounced focus on premium offerings. Understanding these nuanced market dynamics will be key to navigating the ongoing adjustments and leveraging opportunities in a shifting real estate landscape for both buyers and sellers in Waterbury. Engaging with local real estate experts for insights and guidance remains essential for those looking to make informed decisions in this evolving market.
