Barre Montpelier Real Estate

Town Meeting Day This is one of those uniquely Vermont traditions.  To those who don't live in Vermont, it may conjure up images of the Town Green, and the early colonists.  Maybe even people selling vegetables from pushcarts. It's evolved.  Town Meeting Day in Vermont is a big deal.  It's the da...

  I used to be a financial planner, but this advice isn't from me. A client of mine passed along the advice that their financial planner had given them. Just about anyone who bought a house in Montpelier or Barre (or elsewhere) in 2006 or 2007 probably paid more for it than it's worth in today's ...

Ok, we've all heard it before.  But it's really time to start listening. I had two buyers in the last week walk through homes for sale in Montpelier and Barre and comment on all the clutter. And not in a good way.  Not in the "Wow, there's a lot of stuff, and I LOVE this property!" kind of way.  ...

This week's Tip of the Week:  Be nice. Some of you know that I used to teach 2nd grade.  And, while I loved using Responsive Classroom, that's not really where I'm heading with this. Central Vermont is pretty small, and we all probably know each other.  We certainly know people who know each othe...

Is it the season, or what?  Lately I've been showing a lot of multi-family properties in Montpelier.  There are only eight for sale right now, and I think I've been in all of them in the last week.  I think that's great.  There's some pent up demand for multi-family properties, not the kind where...

Call or email for more information...

The NECAP test results are in, and have been published by the VT Department of Education.  We can slice and carve up these numbers any way we want.  But it's my blog, so I'm doing it my way. Here are the percentage of 11th graders who scored at least "proficient" in reading. Montpelier HS:  79% U...

This is why you follow my blog. I just got wind of a new commercial listing on State Street right in downtown Montpelier.  It's the building that Denis, Ricker, and Brown insurance is in.  Three stories, fantastic downtown Montpelier exposure and centralized location.  Right now it's all used for...

Live and Work Right Downtown Montpelier Here's a brand new listing for a home for sale in Montpelier.  It's a four bedroom, two bath single family home.  That's all well and good.  What makes this something special is that it's RIGHT downtown.  Miles Court is off East State Street (about 75 feet ...

Cityside Open House Join me at an open house on Saturday February 5, from 12-2 at 96 Cityside Drive in Montpelier.  You may think it's a condo...but it's not.   Nope, this is a free standing classic colonial, with four bedrooms, an open floorplan, and beautifully refinished floors.  Plus (did I m...
