Thank you to all owners who have continued to refer family
and friends to Vermont Properties for sales and/or seasonal
rentals. Your referral is our highest compliment.
Summer is here and we are gearing up for an active season.
The Okemo area market is experiencing activity and we are
optimistic that we will continue to see interest. State and MLS
figures indicate that house and condo median sale prices
remain higher in Vermont than a year ago, presenting a sharp
contrast to national reports that prices are continuing to fall.

Annual Arts & Crafts Festival ~ Ludlow, VT
Okemo's addition of the "Timber Ripper" and the Family Golf
Course, enhances our area’s existing assets of gorgeous golf
courses, recreational lakes, and hiking trails providing for a
more four-season activity resort. Real Estate doesn't go to
zero...long term tangible investments still make sense.
Enjoy the Summer!
