âIâve never experienced anything like this in my life in terms of individuals buying homes sight unseen,â said Leslie Anderson, a paralegal with Stevens Law Office in Stowe. âThereâs hardly anything on the market right now. And I would say predominantly, the majority of the transactions we handled were cash deals and none were under $500,000.â

A recent review from the Vermont Center for Geographic Information using data from the department of taxes illuminates this jump with eye-popping numbers.
