On the Market: A Tiny Cabin in the Woods
Head north after the holidays for some much-needed R&R.
By Madeline Bilis | Home & Property | December 21, 2016, 9:50 a.m.
Aside from its wintry charm, this tiny cabin in the woods of Vermont offers a bit of history. The one-bedroom overlooks the Twenty Mile Stream, named for an encampment of British troops during the Revolutionary War. The encampment, which was 20 miles from Charlestown, N.H., was located on a military road that led to Ticonderoga, N.Y.
It’s the gurgling stream and surrounding 30 acres of land on the property that make the cabin a gem. The back deck boasts views of the stream, as well as a spacious backyard. The place is less than five miles from Okemo Mountain Resort and several lakes. Plus, 30 acres for $149,000 doesn’t exactly break the bank.

Overpricing: How Aiming Too High Can Cost You
By Brendon DeSimone on 16 Aug 2016
You may think of it as giving yourself room to bargain, but beware. You could just turn off buyers.
Pricing a home for sale is more of an art than a science. Each home’s value falls within a range, and the price the buyer and seller agree on determines the exact value of the property.
If priced competitively from the very beginning, a home will sell at the higher end of the value range. The longer it lingers, the lower it lands in that range.
In fact, “homes that linger on the market tend to sell for significantly less than their listing price: five percent less after two months,” according to Zillow research.
Then Again: Remembering the terror and losses of 1927 flood
Article by Mark Bushnell
Only in hindsight did Vermonters see the flood of 1927 coming. The first signs of trouble, they would later recall, had emerged in October of that year, when it rained about 50 percent more than usual. And things didn’t let up as November started. In fact, the rain only intensified. The forecast, much less reliable in those days, had called for fair weather, but a tropical storm traveling up the East Coast veered unexpectedly inland and met a rainstorm coming from the west. As a result, rain fell especially hard on the night of Nov. 2, and continued for 38 hours. Then it took an hour break, before pouring down for another four or five hours.
