Market Analysis: 05652 Eden

ZIP 05652 inside Lamoille County looks affordable on the surface — median value of $300K — but the discount exists for reasons that a careful buyer should understand before committing.

Distressed markets are won on execution, not on spreadsheets. ZIP 05652 sits at the profile where tenant screening, deferred maintenance, and local relationships determine the outcome.

ZIP 05652's metrics run below Lamoille County's averages on price growth and tenant stability. Investors who ignore that regional gap tend to relearn it the hard way.

A durable renter share of 25% in 05652 is not, on its own, a problem — but paired with below-average income and high mobility, it changes the operating playbook.

Strategically, 05652 can be a high-return sleeve of a diversified portfolio — but it should not be the whole portfolio, and it should not be someone's first deal.

Negative Leverage — IRR / Tax Play Cap Rate: 4.1%  |  30yr Rate: 6.8%
Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (4.1%). Financing reduces your cash-on-cash return below the cap rate. Markets like this may still make sense as IRR plays — factoring in appreciation, depreciation, and a future refinance when rates drop.

About Repit School Scores

Traditional school ratings rely heavily on standardized test scores, which often reflect family income more than school quality. Repit takes a different approach.

We evaluate schools based on factors that research shows actually impact educational outcomes:

  • Class Size — Smaller classes mean more individual attention
  • School Funding — Resources available for programs, staff, and facilities
  • Community Factors — Neighborhood characteristics that influence student success
  • School Environment — Size, type, and structure

Scores are updated annually using federal education data.
