My guess is that it's a money trap. But really, isn't it startling how much you can get for so little when you're not paying for proximity to SF or the silicon valley. By the way, I lived in Vermont (Middlebury) for 4 years of college, and it was absolutely awesome. As my friends in Alaska say, "there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing."

everything looks cheap compared to CA and NY. It's cheap because you probably would have to pay someone to live in VT next to polar bears.

Having grown up right next door, I can tell you that acerage in that are is very cheap relative to major cities. Further, it's not terribly expensive to build a big house. This place may well be over-priced!

Agreed.

Agreed, but I suppose I'd say, "there's no such thing as bad weather, just as long as you're sporting thermal underwear".
