Citations reviewed this pass ranged from Zillow's cited $433,563 average home value (as of July 31, 2026, this record's primary citation) to a separate Zillow Home Value Index figure of $413,824, to a Redfin median-sale-price citation of $454,000 (up 7.5% YoY) -- this record discloses all three rather than picking whichever is most dramatic.
Modestly Above the National Median, Not Below
Using its primary citation, Montpelier's housing market runs approximately 6.1% ABOVE this project's ~$408,776 national median sale price comparison figure -- unlike several of this project's more affordable Tier A+ markets, this record discloses Montpelier as a genuinely, modestly above-national-median market.
A Genuinely Small, Thin Market Worth Understanding
Montpelier's own year-round population (just over 8,000, the smallest of any U.S. state capital) means its housing market is genuinely small and thin -- a handful of transactions can meaningfully move reported medians, and this record's own research this pass did not surface neighborhood-level price variance within the city.
A Real Flood-Zone Consideration for Buyers
As detailed on the flood-hurricane-risk topic page, Montpelier sits within a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain at the confluence of the Winooski River and its North Branch -- buyers should confirm a specific target property's current flood-zone status directly as part of any housing-market research.
