When a condo sits on the market for months with no offers, most sellers assume the price is the problem. Sometimes it is.

There’s a quiet but telling pattern at open houses across northwestern Vermont. A buyer walks in, glances at the dated kitchen, peeks at the bathroom, and – without saying much – moves on. No offer. No callback. Just a polite exit and a mental note to keep looking. With more inventory available than at any ...
Rhode Island’s housing market remains tilted toward sellers heading into spring 2026.
