Southern Vermont Real Estate - Stay Connected

Weren't September and early October spectacular?!?! I thought we had one of the most colorful foliage seasons in recent memory . . . and there is still some color out there. 

The real estate market is transitioning between our summer and winter buyers and there has been increased activity in the last couple of weeks as buyers begin looking at ski and vacation properties. The area's inventory of homes for sale is strong and mortgage rates are still low - both of which I hope will bode well for a busy winter selling season.

It Takes Me By Surprise Every Year

 
The changing of the leaves takes me by surprise every year. Some years it happens slowly, other years it seems to happen overnight. This year, we seem to be on target for peak foliage during the last week of September and the first week of October.

Autumn is a wonderful time to (re)visit and explore the great State of Vermont. My advice is to take a day, enjoy a drive, see some spectacular foliage and simply be a tourist again.

Some of my favorite drives include:

* Waterbury and Stowe - a drive up and through the Notch Road (Route 108), gallery-hopping and shopping in Stowe, lunch at Prohibition Pig and visits to Cold Hollow Cider and Ben & Jerry's, all in Waterbury.
* Addison County - travel north on Route 7 and meander through Brandon and Middlebury, enjoy lunch or dinner at Cafe Provence in Brandon and picking apples at Champlain Orchards in Shoreham.
* Mad River Valley - travel north on Route 100, visit Waitsfield and Warren and then take Route 17 over "the gap" to Bristol and enjoy a late lunch or dinner at the Bobcat Cafe (opens at 4 PM).
