The second quarter of 2025 continued to reflect the evolving dynamics of the Stowe Area real estate market. While pricing pressure and buyer selectivity remain prominent, increased activity in some sectors—particularly the condo market in Stowe and select towns in Lamoille County—suggests renewed interest where affordability and value intersect.
Stowe
In the single-family home segment, Stowe saw declines across most key indicators. Sales dropped by 13%. However, new listings were only down by only 2%, which is consistent with the listing bump we have seen the past two years going into summer, unlike the prior three years. Both average sold price, $1,375,419, and median sold price, $1,137,500, fell by nearly 13% and 25%, respectively, marking a meaningful correction within the market. Buyers took significantly longer to transact, with average days on market rising 137%. The list-to-sell price ratio remained high at 97%, only dipping slightly by 0.75%.
The condo market, by contrast, surged in Q2. Sales rose nearly 89%, and new listings more than doubled, up 116%. Average sold price, $1,045,151, and median sold price, $525K, jumped 53% and 70%, respectively, reflecting increased activity at higher price points. Days on market held steady, decreasing slightly by 2.94%, and the average list-to-sale ratio improved by over 5%, indicating strong buyer demand for well-positioned, turnkey units.
