Land saw a drop in parcels sold year over year with just 2 trading in Q4 2022, compared to 4 tradings the year prior. Both land sales from this year were represented by our firm. Q4 2021 saw several large parcels or high density parcels trade, thus creating much higher average and median sales prices compared to this year. While land is usually the first segment of our market to cool when we have a transitioning market, it is also becoming hard to find parcels that offer views, location, and privacy. 

The commercial market in Stowe was more active in 2022 than in 2021, with 12 properties trading compared to 5 the previous year. Our office represented the largest number of commercial sales marketwide.

Our firm specializes in securing good stewards for these properties so that they can continue to be a part of the fabric of the Stowe community.
