Vermont’s Buy-Side Real Estate Market: Q1 2026 Analysis

Vermont Market Snapshot: Q1 2026

Vermont’s single-family market opened 2026 with relatively stable inventory levels. Active listings began January at 1,585 homes, eased to 1,520 in February, and edged back to 1,561 by March, essentially unchanged across the quarter with a 1.5 percent net decline. Months of supply moved on a different track, opening at 4.7 in January, rising to 5.3 in February, then easing to 4.8 in March. The reading stayed below the 6-month balanced-market benchmark in every month of the quarter, though Vermont approached the threshold most closely in February at 5.3 months.

Median sale prices climbed each month. After opening at $396,500 in January, the statewide median rose to $418,400 in February and reached $427,800 in March, a 7.9 percent gain across three months. Days on market followed a longer trajectory. The median measure opened at 89 in January, stretched to 112 in February, and held at 106 in March, leaving homes spending notably more time on the market at the end of the quarter than at the start.

Year-over-year context sharpens the picture. January 2026 inventory of 1,585 homes was 10.4 percent above January 2025, and supply ran two-tenths of a month looser at 4.7 months versus 4.5. By March, inventory was 14.0 percent above the prior-year reading of 1,369 homes, and supply sat 1.0 months above March 2025. Median prices held above the prior-year mark in February and March, finishing March 5.6 percent higher than March 2025. Days on market widened year-over-year by 31 days in March, from 75 to 106. The quarter ran consistently looser and notably slower than the same window in 2025.

Vermont’s Top 25 Buyer’s Agents and Teams: Q1 2026 Rankings

Agent Pronto/CINC has ranked Vermont’s top 25 buyer’s agents and teams based on total transaction volume in Q1 2026. This proprietary buy-side data reveals both high-volume operators and luxury specialists who dominate Vermont’s diverse real estate market.

What the Data Shows

Vermont’s top 25 spans a wide range of production paths. Eight agents and teams operate with median prices under $500,000, eight fall between $500,000 and $1 million, and nine reach the $1 million threshold. Flex Realty Group leads the rankings with 33 closings at a $374,500 median, the highest closing count in the state, generating $14.8 million in total volume. Elise Polli ranks ninth with 18 closings at a $317,500 median for $7.4 million in total, and the Hammond Team ranks seventh with 13 closings at a $499,900 median for $7.6 million. The Malley Group (12 closings, $457,500 median, $6.1 million total) and Sarah Peluso (11 closings, $499,000 median, $6.0 million total) reach the rankings through similar high-volume paths at price points near or below the statewide median of $427,800.

A different model anchors the upper end of the rankings. Hillary Boardman ranks second with a single closing at $14.0 million, the highest median in the state. Dia Jenks ranks fourth with two closings at a $5.8 million median for $11.5 million in total, and Kelley King ranks sixth with two closings at a $4.9 million median for $9.8 million. Lauren Handrahan ranks fifth with three closings at a $3.7 million median for $10.9 million in total, and Lisa Jenison ranks fifteenth with two closings at a $2.5 million median. Betsy Wadsworth occupies a hybrid middle position, ranking third overall with nine closings at a $1.1 million median for $11.8 million in total, blending elevated transaction counts with mid-luxury pricing.

The wide range of price points in the top 25 reflects Vermont’s mix of mid-market production and selective luxury submarkets. Median prices span from $317,500 to $14,000,000, and closing counts range from one to 33. Because the rankings are ordered by total sold dollar volume, agents and teams reach the list through three distinct paths: high transaction counts at price points near or below the statewide median, moderate counts at mid-market or higher prices, or low counts at substantially higher per-transaction values. The dollar-volume ranking naturally favors luxury specialists, who can generate large totals from single-digit transaction counts, and that pattern is visible at the top of Vermont’s list, where a single $14.0 million transaction places Boardman at second overall.

Conclusion

Vermont’s first quarter of 2026 saw inventory hold essentially flat, months of supply trace a February peak of 5.3 before easing to 4.8, and the median sale price rise 7.9 percent to $427,800, while remaining below the 6-month balanced-market benchmark throughout. Within this environment, the top 25 buyer’s agents and teams closed 181 transactions across median prices ranging from $317,500 to $14,000,000. The list spans a clear high-volume leader, several mid-market and high-volume operators, and luxury specialists generating large totals from single-digit transaction counts, illustrating the range of paths to top buy-side production in Vermont.
