Looking for Land For Sale VT? MLS in Vermont might save you some time.

As you may or may NOT already know, looking for land for sale in VT can be a very rewarding process.  There are some good deals out there right now!  But there are some things you really want to consider before committing yourself to one place in space.

First off, assuming that you want to eventually live at your new location and build a home there, you will need to have a septic system to get rid of your plumbing waste.  Some of the land for sale around here has already been surveyed, designed (well and septic), and subdivided.  Note the order of wording in the previous sentence.  And since all septic matters are now handled through the state, the towns have nothing to do with this anymore.  However, actual subdivision approval will occur at the municipal level.  Hopefully, if you have succeeded at finding a good realtor, they will be doing some investigation at the town hall to beat the bushes a little and make sure this is a viable purchase.

Our MLS in Vermont has coded features that allow us Realtors to focus only on the land that has been surveyed, designed, or even has a septic system in place.  This allows us to spend more time looking at land that is worth our time!

And for buyer clients of mine, I usually recommend and advocate that state wastewater and water supply permits are to be in place prior to closing.  This is because you don’t want to buy a piece of land in Vermont, only to find out that needs a 60,000 mound system after the fact when you only paid half that for the property itself.

Trulia iphone app tries let consumer view central vermont real estate listings on the go!

The time has come for when real estate consumers in Vermont and Central Vermont can view the real estate listings for the area on the go using their mobile phone.  I was looking at Trulia.com and found a link to the app.  But it has to be an ipod touch or an iphone from what they were saying.

After looking at the advertisement, it looks like the system is getting some pretty poor reviews, only 2+* out of 5 for an average.  So the bottom line is, don’t rely on this just yet.  But my company, century 21 jack associates, also has an app coming out that will be free and hopefully it will work a little bit better.

The way this works is that almost every real estate firm decides to allow their listings to be broadcast to the world by other agencies though data sharing agreements, one specifically is called IDX which stands for internet data exchange.  An automated daily “push” of this information makes it out to heaps of sites on the internet, where sites like Trulia compile the information and try to make sense of the data.
