“I've been listening to Dave Ramsey on 107.1 at 6pm for a few years. Allison came up in my search and she called me almost immediately. We made an appointment 2 days later. She came and brought comps and we discussed price. The previous realtor didn't bring a single comp and wanted to list at 75k less than Allison. At the end of our meeting, she gave me homework. Once it was completed, she came back with a professional photographer and took the most amazing photos, made a reel, and the house went "Live" that Friday. The following Thursday we received an offer. Allison was amazing! She was kind, thoughtful, patient, and walked us through the process with ease. She then assisted with the purchase of the new house a 100 miles away. I highly recommend Allison.”

Essex County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Essex County real estate market. *
Latest Monthly Snapshot
September 2026
Monthly Pricing Trends for Essex County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Essex County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Essex County is seeing more homes available, with active listings up over 20 percent from last year and now at 85. Sales activity has picked up, with homes sold rising nearly 47 percent year over year and pending sales also higher than a year ago. At the same time, new listings have dropped sharply from August and are down compared with last year, which could limit fresh options coming to market.
Prices are reacting in mixed ways as this shift plays out. The typical home value is up almost 5 percent from a year ago and jumped more than 10 percent in the past month, yet the median list price has fallen steeply year over year, suggesting sellers are adjusting expectations to attract buyers.
Conditions still lean toward buyers, with seven months of supply in Essex County compared with about five months statewide in Vermont. Homes are taking a long time to sell at a median of 102 days on market, and the average sale-to-list price ratio has slipped to about 89 percent with no recent sales closing above asking, signaling buyers have some negotiating power. With these crosscurrents in inventory, pricing, and time on market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local agent who understands the latest trends in Essex County.
Learn more about what Essex County has to offer.
Essex County offers its residents a close-knit community, abundant outdoor recreation, and wholesome, small-town amenities that support families, work, and a high quality of life.
Essex County feels different from nearby Chittenden County or Caledonia County. Here, the pace is quieter, the forests are deeper, and small towns like Brighton and Bloomfield define daily life more than big-box conveniences. Residents value privacy, self reliance, and neighbors who know each other by name.
The county’s identity is shaped by its vast wildlands. The Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge and the North Branch Trail welcome hikers, paddlers, and wildlife watchers who want real solitude. In Brighton, Island Pond offers four season recreation on the water and a small but active village center. Families appreciate local schools such as Canaan Schools and community hubs like the Island Pond Public Library, which help anchor this rural region.
Housing here ranges from camp-style retreats and off grid cabins to long held village homes. Inventory can be limited and highly seasonal compared with Lamoille County or Orleans County, so timing and preparation matter. Buyers who clarify priorities and financing early are ready when the right property appears. Sellers who understand current demand for year round living versus second homes can price and present effectively.
Agent Pronto can connect you with a real estate professional who knows Essex County’s local nuances and can guide both buyers and sellers to make the most of the market right now.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“We had a great experience working with Chantelle! From listing to closing, the entire process took just 18 days. She communicated well throughout and made everything go smoothly. We especially appreciated the little things she did to go above and beyond, like opening the house for our cleaner when I wasn’t available. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail made the process so much easier. We’re grateful for all her hard work and would highly recommend Chantelle to anyone looking to sell their home!”
“Kris made both buying our new home and selling our previous one a smooth and successful experience, all within just three months. She was patient, kind, and consistently available to show us homes, answer our questions, and do whatever was needed to get our home ready for the market. Her dedication and positive attitude never wavered, and we always felt supported throughout the process. We’re incredibly grateful for her help and would highly recommend Kris to anyone looking for a caring, dependable real estate agent.”
“Renee is an incredibly knowledgeable agent that has a lot of experience, cares about her clients, and is trustworthy !! She knows the ins and outs of current real estate markets and how to strategically price a property so that it will sell in a timely manner but with the highest yield!! She has sold two of our properties over the last eight years (one in Illinois and one in Wisconsin) and we received more than we expected on each of the sales!! We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Renee!!”
“Our real estate agent, Nicole Canny, from Mike McCatty office is fantastic and I highly recommend her to everyone. She has been looking for the perfect house for my daughter and husband and their family for about 2 years now as they had certain requirements for a new house and a certain area they wanted to live in also. Nicole was persistent and she finally found the perfect home for them and the purchase all went quickly, smoothly and was a great experience overall. Thanks to Nicole Canny and now she will be able to sell their old house also.”

“Abbey was excellent to work with. This was a very hard sale as the new buyers were brutal. She did everything possible to make the deal happen. She is very professional and went above and beyond what other agents would have done. We have nothing but high praise for her. We would recommend Abbey to anyone who needs a realtor that really works for her client. We love her and could not be happier with the outcome.”

“Making the decision to move out of state was a difficult one. Choosing Parker as our listing agent was a no brainer! This was our second experience working with him, and I can't express how grateful we were for the support Parker offered throughout the sale of our home. Many questions and unforseen emotions surfaced during the process, and Parker was nothing less than professional, but also very kind and mindful of our journey. He took the time to explain each step of the process, and quickly answered all of our questions. He listened to our concerns and was able to negotiate on our behalf. He worked hard making sure everything was complete, allowing for a seamless sale of our home. Thank you Parker for making our dream a reality!! We couldn't have done it without you!!”
“Laura's attention to detail for staging and marketing are amazing. She's very willing to lend a hand to make sure the sale goes quickly and without missing a step. I'd highly recommend Laura to anyone wanting to sell their home.”
“My son and I were looking for a property within our budget and came into contact with Nydia by accident. She was actually advertising for another property next to the one we were interested in. However, Nydia stepped in, became our realtor and did an exceptional job. Her experience and knowledge of the process of buying a house was invaluable to us. It was through Nydia we came into contact with the lender who approved us. Being this was my first time buying a property, I didn't fully know the process. Nydia's expertise and guidance really helped us feel comfortable every step of the way. Her warm, comforting personality helped us to feel at ease. Not only did we gain a realtor with Nydia, but also a genuine friend. I would 100% recommend Nydia to help anyone navigate the house buying process.”
