The Stratton  and Bromley area real estate market has been very strong in the the last two months.   In that time, there have been 28 closings in Stratton/Bromley area  and at present there are 36 properties pending a closing!    NAR’s 2023 Investment and Vacation Home Buyers survey indicated that “Vacation sales rose 7.0% in 2011″.  ” 42 % of these Buyers were cash buyers”  according to the survey.  We are definitely mirroring these trends.   The average vacation home buyer in the Stratton Mountain area is a family looking  to use weekends and vacations.   The Stratton  Mountain, Bromley Mountain and Manchester areas offer lots more than just skiing and shopping.    Memorial day Stratton Mountain will be hosting lots of activities from a rail Jam to a concert sponsored by the Stratton Foundation for Irene Disaster relief.   June 21 to 24 – Wanderlust - a nationally know yoga and music festival will be returning to the area.   This is a great time to rent a home or condo at Stratton  to  enjoy all that Vermont has to offer.    Starting in July the Vermont Summer Fesival horse show  returns with five weeks of top horse show competition.  Weather own or renting a place here at Stratton Mountain, summer is a great time to enjoy all that Vermont has to offer.

After a period of stalled sales and falling home prices, the resort-home market is poised for a comeback.  During the past decade, the market for homes in many resort areas experienced an even more severe boom-and-bust trajectory than the traditional housing market.  Vacation-home sales hit a record high of 1.07 million in 2006 before plunging 30.6 percent in 2007 and another 30,8 perscent in 2008, according to the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS (NAR).  But sales increased by 7.9 percent last year, which may indicate that the worst has passed. ” (by Regina Ludes, The residential Specialist, May/June 2010)
