The Pomfret, Vermont real estate market saw three (3) sales of single-family homes during the first quarter of 2019, up from one (1) sale during the same period in 2018. As of this writing there was one (1) additional property active under contract – likely to close in the first quarter of 2019.
It is important to remember when evaluating first quarter sales that buying activity is almost always the slowest during this period, when snow covers the ground and cold weather discourages many people from wanting to go out and look at houses. From a 2004-2018, on average, just 18% of sales occurred during the first quarter, with 26% occurring in the second quarter, 31% in the third quarter and 25% in the fourth quarter.
Like Woodstock and other nearby towns, Pomfret has been following a trend of decreasing inventory over the past 5 years and has now reached its lowest point since 2014. On April 1 of this year there were just eleven (11) houses actively listed for sale, down 39% from the same date last year with eighteen (18) homes actively listed. We first observed this inventory decline early last year in Woodstock alone, before the effect ultimately pushed out into surrounding towns such as Pomfret, Barnard, West Windsor, Reading and Hartland.
Of the eleven (11) properties actively listed for sale on April 1, just three (3) were priced under $600,000, compared to eleven (11) on the same date in 2018.
