SW area of Maine. I have had the same issue for a while. I think some folks are just meant to wander.

Are you Abenaki?

Perhaps, but VT is elevated. Lots of people moved in after/during the pandemic. Such a large change in population dynamics isn't going to be negligible.

For not much money? You must live in a different VT.

I was talking to a realtor friend the other day in my busy tourist town, and he says it's mostly investors, and everyone knows. So it's not like the seller has no idea, most people just care about the $$.
