We actually live in Whitehall. My husband drives to Middlebury for work.

Whitehall NY? i can't imagine the housing market there is overpriced

It's not bad, but interest rates are high to buy right now and nothing is available to buy or rent in our price range. Also it would be nice to live closer to Middlebury for my husband's work so he doesn't have to drive almost two hours every day. He keeps saying that no one can get help out there because no one can afford to live there, like us. If Middlebury wants services they really need to have housing. :(

it's a terrible time to buy with interest rates. no one is going to move right now either if they have a lower rate, no one is going to sell a home with a 2.25% mortgage to sign a new one with 7%.
try looking from rutland north, you might find something. renting/buying in middlebury is probably out of most VTer's range, especially buying

Very true. Yes, we are definitely keeping Rutland on our radar.

It will be a while before these are built (I think they're not breaking ground until 2024) but this will help ease the shortage in Middlebury! https://vtdigger.org/2023/01/20/up-to-250-units-planned-to-help-address-middleburys-affordable-housing-shortage/

My husband did mention that recently, but he said he's pretty sure most of it is reserved for students and healthcare workers.
