I am trying to move to Vermont. Anyone know of anyone selling a small home in a safe city?

Look into Bennington County! Lots of cool stuff and economic growth happening.

Thank you for the suggestion! I have looked at a few homes there, it looks promising :)

You're welcome! I grew up here, moved away, then to Burlington, Vermont area and then back here to Bennington County. Lots of great stuff all over the place but there's something really special about what's going on here in the County and also being so close to Saratoga Springs, New York and New York City and Boston. Check out the Stay To Stay program in Vermont which might help you decide. And hope you find yourself feeling welcome no matter if you come to live or visit.

VT has the oldest housing stock in the country so assume any home will need work.

/r/NewToVermont and also I mean... you're getting downvoted because the housing market is very competitive here. No one's just walking into reddit and getting offered a house. At minimum, learn about the state and watch specific regions on real estate websites. Better yet, move and rent for awhile; meet people, discover different communities, contribute to the state's economy a bit. I am sure where you'd pick on a whim right now would be different after spending quality time here.
