Buying a home in Vermont
Housing costs in Vermont are shaped by local property taxes, insurance, and home prices. With an average effective property tax rate of 1.78% and a median home price around $380,000, a typical buyer putting 20% down would finance roughly $304,000. Use the calculator above to model your own price, down payment, and rate — it already reflects Vermont's tax and insurance averages so your estimate is closer to reality.
Remember that these figures are statewide averages. Your county and city can have meaningfully different tax rates, and insurance premiums depend on your specific home. For the most accurate estimate, enter a quote from a licensed Vermont lender and your actual insurance and tax figures.
