Waterbury Village and Waterbury Center: Two Different Markets

Waterbury has two ZIP codes, and they behave like two markets. Single-family homes sold January 1 through September 27, 2026:

• Waterbury village (05676): walkable streets with older homes, shops, and restaurants near Main Street and Stowe Street, close to I-89. It is where entry-level buyers find homes, and buyers here had more room to negotiate.
• Waterbury Center (05677): the more rural part of town along Route 100 toward Stowe, with larger lots and newer homes. Homes sold quickly and close to full price, and 7 of 16 sold for $1 million or more. See our Waterbury Center real estate page.

Flood Risk: What Waterbury Buyers Should Check

Waterbury village sits along the Winooski River, and parts of town flooded in Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 and again in July 2023. Many Waterbury homes sit well outside any flood zone, but for any home near a river or brook, check the FEMA flood map, ask about flood history and insurance, and talk with an insurance agent before you make an offer. Under Vermont law, sellers must give buyers the FEMA flood map, their flood history, and their flood insurance status before or with the purchase contract.

Second-Home and Closing Costs

Vermont's property transfer tax on a primary residence is 0.5% on the first $200,000 and 1.47% above that. A second home pays 3.62%, including the Clean Water Surcharge. At the $573,800 Waterbury median, that is about $6,500 for a primary residence and about $20,800 for a second home. See our Vermont closing costs guide.
