KENT — The 12-month trailing median price for a single-family home in Kent increased to $607,500 for the period ending Feb. 28, 2026.
The figure marks a 28% increase from the $475,000 median recorded for the 12 months ending February 2025, and up from $483,000 for the comparable 12-month period ending February 2024.
The unit sales of single-family homes in Kent on a 12-month rolling basis remained within their historic range.
A total of 28 single-family homes were sold in the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2026, compared with 29 sales in the period ending Feb. 28, 2025, and 32 sales for the 12 months ending Feb. 29, 2024. Historically, annual sales of single-family homes in Kent typically range between 25 and 35 transactions.
Inventory of all homes remains limited. As of early March, there were seven single-family homes on the market. Of those, four were listed above $1 million with only one residential property listed below the current $607,000 median price. No residential condos are listed for sale. Six parcels of land are listed on the MLS ranging from $340,000 to $590,000. Summer furnished rentals are now hitting the market for $6,500 to $30,000 per month.
Condo prices also appreciated over the past year.
The 12-month trailing. median price for a condo in Kent increased to $439,000 for the period ending February 28, 2026 — its highest point in 20 years. This peak marks a $100,000 increase from the $ $349,000 median recorded for the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2025, and from $289,000 for the comparable period ending Feb. 28, 2024.
The sale of condos accelerated during this same period with a total of nine units sold in the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2026, compared with only three sales in the period ending Feb. 28, 2025, and four sales for the 12 months ending Feb. 29, 2024

Nearly 90 Twin Lakes Association members unanimously approved the charter governing the new Lake Preservation Fund during the Aug. 8 annual meeting at Camp Isola Bella. TLA President Grant Bogle, at front, joins members in the show-of-hands vote establishing a long-term financial framework for protecting Twin Lakes.
Don’t ever think this lake is not going to throw you a curve ball, because it will.
—Bill Barton, Outgoing TLA Senior Vice President
SALISBURY — Four years into the battle against hydrilla at Twin Lakes, members of the Twin Lakes Association received their strongest sign yet that the invasive plant may finally be yielding. Now, lake officials are placing greater emphasis on prevention alongside continued management, with a focus on protecting the lakes and making those efforts financially sustainable for the long term.
During the association’s annual meeting Aug. 8, TLA President Grant Bogle told nearly 90 people that no viable hydrilla plants have been found in East Twin Lake so far this season despite intensive aquatic plant surveys. But even if hydrilla appears to be retreating, its legacy is reshaping how the TLA prepares for the future.
“This is the first year we have not found a viable plant in the lake, so far,” Bogle said, before receiving enthusiastic applause from the packed pavilion at Camp Isola Bella in Salisbury.
“This is good news, but we can’t declare victory,” he cautioned.
With an eye toward the long-term health of Twin Lakes, members unanimously approved the charter for a newly established Twin Lakes Preservation Fund, or LPF, creating a permanent pool of assets intended to grow over time and eventually help shoulder the substantial cost of protecting the lakes from future threats.
From crisis response to permanent stewardship
The association has spent more than $1 million over the past three years combating the invasive plant and strengthening its lake-management programs. About 70% of that cost came from the Twin Lakes community, Bogle said, despite financial support from the town of Salisbury and the state.
“We rose to the occasion, which is great,” Bogle said, “but I am hopeful 10 years from now, should a crisis arise, future boards will have a little extra support.”
In written comments before the meeting, Bogle said hydrilla exposed how vulnerable the lake system is and how quickly the cost of confronting an environmental threat can escalate.
“Hydrilla is not the only nor the last threat that the Twin Lakes community will confront,” he said. “The scope of activities necessary to ensure the lakes remain healthy for generations to come require a sustained, science-driven approach, which is costly.”
The preservation fund already holds about $350,000 from private donations made this summer.
No formal fundraising goal has been established, but Bogle said approximately $3 million to $5 million would be needed to generate what the board considers a meaningful income stream over time, assuming withdrawals of around 5%.
The association expects much of the fund’s future growth to come from bequests through wills and trusts, while annual donations and grants support current operations.
TLA Secretary Erica Cohn, who has been coming to the area since 1981 and has owned property on Rocky Lane for more than two decades, said the board had discussed creating a preservation fund for years.
Hydrilla reinforced the urgency.
“Thankfully, the lake community responded and trusted the board to make the best decisions to preserve and protect the lake,” Cohn said. “We hope that trust continues with the preservation fund so when the next invasive threat appears, the board can move quickly again.”
Cohn said the TLA, which has about 770 members, hopes the lake community will include the LPF in estate planning, allowing it to grow across generations.
Protecting the ‘piggy bank’
Bogle called the LPF spending policy “probably the most important section” of the charter because it governs how the money may be used.
“The last thing you want is to have the piggy bank raided,” he told members, adding that restrictions cannot be so rigid that a future board is unable to respond quickly to an emergency. And so, changes to the fund’s stated purpose or spending policy will require membership approval.
The fund will be overseen by a three-person investment committee — two TLA board members and one at-large member of the lake community, preferably someone with financial expertise. Bill Barton, who stepped down from the TLA board Saturday after 20 years of service, has expressed interest in serving on the committee.
Jeff Bravin, a TLA board member and executive director of the American School for the Deaf (ASD) — which owns and operates Camp Isola Bella — pointed to the camp as an example of the stability an endowment can provide.
The ASD received island property from the Alvord family in 1963 along with funding that has since grown into an endowment supporting the camp.
Although annual fundraising remains necessary, Bravin said, the permanent financial foundation allows the organization to plan strategically — a model he believes could similarly benefit Twin Lakes.
“A permanent endowment gives future boards another important tool to proactively manage the lakes rather than relying solely on emergency fundraising or reacting after problems arise,” Bravin said.
A new financial reality
Even as hydrilla-control expenses decline, the association does not expect lake management to return to the less expensive model of earlier years.
Updated projections call for about $475,000 in spending in 2026, down from the $500,000 originally budgeted, largely because of lower treatment costs as progress against hydrilla continues. With projected income of $375,000, however, the association may still need to draw as much as $100,000 from reserves.
Members Saturday also unanimously approved a $450,000 budget for 2027, including $150,000 for treatment by Solitude Lake Management and another $150,000 forscientific surveys and lake-management work by Northeast Aquatic Research. Another $130,000 is budgeted for monitoring, harvesting, biomass removal and watershed work.
To cover those costs, TLA anticipates $100,000 in grant support, $75,000 from the town of Salisbury and $275,000 in dues and donations — the amount needed to balance the budget. About 70% of donors live around the lakes, Bogle said.
The numbers illustrate the balancing act confronting the organization: raising enough money to pay substantial annual operating expenses while building a permanent fund for needs that may arise years or decades from now.
A new line of defense
The absence of viable hydrilla this season does not mean the threat of another introduction has disappeared.
The TLA is working with Bravin and the American School for the Deaf on plans for a boat decontamination unit, potentially located on ASD property across from the old boathouse, a short distance from O’Hara’s Landing marina.
Bogle described the system as a high-temperature decontamination operation intended to prevent invasive aquatic plants from being carried into the lake on boats and equipment.
The association is awaiting a decision on a state-coordinated grant application that could pay for the purchase of the unit.
Its purchase price is not included in the proposed 2027 budget.
If grant funding does not materialize, Bogle said he would like the TLA to acquire a unit using existing assets or donations raised for the purchase.
The $50,000 monitoring line in the 2027 budget includes approximately $25,000 for existing boat-launch monitors, with the remainder representing a rough estimate of labor, fuel, maintenance and other operating expenses associated with a decontamination unit.
The concept could initially be tested for several years, primarily on East Twin.
It marks another evolution in the hydrilla response: as herbicide treatments decline, more emphasis can shift toward preventing reintroduction.
Beyond hydrilla
In written comments before the meeting, TLA Vice President of Lake Management Russ Conklin said intensive monitoring will continue in 2027, including extensive plant surveys and diver searches in deeper water.
“We will remain vigilant,” Conklin said.
The association may further reduce herbicide use in East Twin if findings from the remainder of the 2026 season support it.
But Conklin said hydrilla represents only one part of a larger ecological challenge facing Twin Lakes. “Our lakes are aging.”
Several years of water-quality monitoring, combined with data from the watershed study, point to increasing phosphorus and nitrogen levels.
The likely sources of many of those nutrients are along the shoreline, Conklin said.
“Once these chemicals build up in the lake, the options for addressing them are few, often impractical and very expensive,” he said.
Left unchecked, elevated phosphorus and nitrogen can contribute to anoxic — or oxygen-depleted — conditions and potentially toxic algae blooms.
While forces such as climate change are beyond the control of individual property owners, Conklin said there are several “knobs that we can turn.”
Among them are pumping septic systems every two years and establishing natural vegetative shorelines to filter pollutants and provide habitat. Conklin also encouraged homeowners to reduce unnecessary nighttime lighting as another way to support the broader lake ecosystem.
The steps may sound simple, he said, but collectively can have a significant impact. “The science is as clear as it is going to get,” Conklin said.
Governance grows with the mission
Members unanimously approved revised TLA bylaws, originally adopted in 1977 and amended Saturday for the seventh time.
“I remember when the bylaws were one page,” Barton said, gesturing toward the 11-page document distributed at the meeting.
The changes include staggered terms for directors and formal ex-officio board seats for representatives of the American School for the Deaf, Salisbury School, Twin Lakes Beach Club and O’Hara’s Landing marina.
The revised bylaws also require the board to submit the following year’s budget to members at each August annual meeting and allow the board to enter contracts consistent with the TLA’s mission and an approved budget without additional membership approval.
The changes, along with related governance policies, were developed with advice from outside legal counsel as the scope of TLA finances and fundraising has grown.
Former TLA President and current board member Carey Fiertz reflected on the transformation shortly before members cast their votes. The nonprofit, volunteer organization “has come a long way,” he said. “This is an exciting time.”
Fiertz said he was confident the community would continue stepping forward to protect Twin Lakes.
Minutes later, members unanimously approved the revised bylaws, preservation fund charter and 2027 budget.
The next generation
Saturday’s meeting also marked the end of Barton’s two decades on the TLA board.
Barton, the organization’s senior vice president, acknowledged “some sadness” in stepping aside, but used his farewell to remind members why vigilance and community involvement remain essential.
“Don’t ever think this lake is not going to throw you a curve ball, because it will,” Barton said. Hydrilla, he added, “was a beast,” but the association has confronted milfoil, the threat of zebra mussels and other challenges over the years, and new ones will inevitably emerge.
“It’s been a labor of love,” Barton said. “Local change happens on a local level.”
After the meeting, members filtered from the pavilion, some headed home while others remained for a picnic and the annual Twin Lakes Day celebration.
Among them was John O’Mahony of Pleasantville, New York, who was pleased to see the preservation fund charter approved.
“I have been coming to this lake since I was born,” said O’Mahony, whose aunts owned property at Twin Lakes when he was growing up. “I feel as though we have got to protect these lakes.”
O’Mahony then walked toward the small beach at Camp Isola Bella, where children splashed in the sparkling summer water — another generation beginning to form memories on the lakes the community had just voted to protect for those still to come.

John Papp, right, and associate Jonathan Abbott formed Litchfield Building Inspection Services LLC, which serves as the building inspector for Falls Village, Kent, Norfolk and Warren.
A series of departures and retirements has left several towns confronting a regional shortage of qualified building inspectors, with four municipalities turning to a newly formed private company while Sharon filled its vacancy with a veteran inspector and contractor.
The vacancies arose throughout the spring and summer, when Jim Clark left his positions in Falls Village and Norfolk in May, Joseph Manley retired from Kent and Warren in July, and Stan MacMillan retired from Sharon in June.
The search for a building inspector was a shared concern among Falls Village, Warren and Kent town leaders. Before a recent Council of Governments meeting, Falls Village First Selectman Dave Barger said he spoke with Warren First Selectman Greg LaCava and Kent First Selectman Eric Epstein about their vacancies. LaCava told them that Warren contractor John Papp was forming an LLC to provide building inspection services.
“We had a vacancy and people weren’t knocking down the doors to take it on because of the stringent requirements,” Barger said.
He reached out to Papp, as did Kent’s Eric Epstein and Norfolk First Selectman Henry Tirrell. Papp has since been hired by all four towns.
Barger said Papp works as a subcontractor and his firm, Litchfield Building Inspection Services LLC, gets a percentage of the building fees.
“It’s interesting,” Barger said. “We no longer do anything by paper. Everything is electronic. This has moved Falls Village into the 20th century. Someday we’ll get to the 21st,” he joked.
Papp, 40, of Warren, and his associate, Jonathan Abbott, 33, of New Preston, were familiarizing themselves with the Kent office last week as they took on their new roles.
Papp acknowledged that the requirements for becoming a building inspector can make the field difficult to enter. There are approximately 200 inspectors around the state, he said.
A longtime contractor, Papp said he was looking for a new experience. He’s finding that Kent has a lot of new construction, especially with three private schools within its borders.
Asked if he’d take on other towns if needed, he said his team would definitely be willing to expand.
In Sharon, William Pietrefase, 61, who took over for MacMillan in Sharon as both building inspector and fire marshal, attributes the shortage to the rigorous and time-consuming courses needed to qualify for the inspector’s job.

There are 12 modules that have to be completed, including electrical, plumbing, residential energy and pool and spa installation. Completing all 12 can take multiple years. Classes are held in Hartford, but there is a shift toward online courses.
An alternate route for those with years of experience in the building trades is available. Candidates can challenge having to take particular courses and skip the test.
Pietrefase’s route to his position was a circuitous one. He began his career as a liquor salesman and was familiar with the area because he serviced customers in Sharon. He then worked as a building contractor for 35 years, but the physical demands of the work eventually took their toll.
In August 2022, he was hired as building inspector in Winsted. “They gave me two years to get certified,” he said. “I did it in seven months.”
Josh Kelly, Winsted’s town manager at the time, sent him to fire marshal school, which he was pleased to do, since many of his family members were firefighters.
After 18 months, he became a building inspector in Torrington, his hometown. He was there for two and a half years before learning that MacMillan was retiring. “I applied because this would give me the opportunity to do both,” Pietrefase said.
Pietrefase said Sharon has a lot of construction going on, a mix of both commercial and residential. “It’s a dynamic situation for a small community.”
The two jobs equal a 35-hour-a-week position, but he is on call 24/7 for incidents requiring a fire marshal.
Being an inspector is a natural step for those in the building trades, Pietrefase said, because it allows them to continue using the skills they have learned.

The North Canaan dog park sits next to the children’s playground at Bunny McGuire Park. Town officials are considering relocating it because of safety concerns.
NORTH CANAAN — Voters rejected using $6,800 in state funds to relocate North Canaan’s existing dog park at a town meeting Monday, Aug. 3.
The proposal failed 65 to 46, with two blank ballots among the 113 votes cast.
Sandwiched between a children’s playground and a softball field, the current dog park has raised safety and logistical concerns, but finding a suitable new home for it has proven complicated.
First Selectman Jesse Bunce emphasized that the Aug. 3 vote concerned only the use of Local Capital Improvement Program funds — not whether the dog park should be moved or where it should go. LoCIP provides state funding to municipalities for eligible capital projects, including improvements to public buildings and recreational facilities.
“Tonight you’re voting on using LoCIP funds to move the dog park,” Bunce said. “You’re not voting on the location. We have four potential areas where we’re looking to put it.”
The dog park is within Bunny McGuire Park, next to a children’s playground and adjacent to the softball field. The area is also used for community events.
In an interview after the meeting, Bunce said safety was the primary reason for considering a move. He recalled seeing a dog come off its leash and enter the playground during a town event.
“Luckily, no real damage was done, but he [the dog] did knock a child down,” Bunce said. “I feel like we should try to make our kids as safe as possible.”
Softballs have also been hit into the dog park, while players have sometimes had to contend with dogs walking across the field, Bunce said. He said representatives of the local softball league have expressed concerns about the dog park’s location and offered to maintain the grounds if it is moved.
Town officials have identified four alternative sites.
One is near the former Boy Scout building and daycare at Sam Eddy Field. A resident objected, saying local Boy Scouts regularly use the property.
Another is town-owned land near the municipal parking lot behind NBT Bank on Main Street, close to the community garden and the Colonial Theatre. Bunce said the site could be accessed through the municipal lot and is outside the wetlands setback.
Residents expressed concern that dog park users might instead enter from Foot Avenue, a dead-end street where neighborhood children ride bicycles. Bunce said after the meeting that he was likely to rule out that site.
“I don’t want to have residents upset,” he said. “I want to try and put this in a spot that’s easily accessible, but away from children as much as possible.”
The other possibilities are near the Town Hall parking lot as well as on Whiting Drive by the sand and salt pickup area. Bunce said the Whiting Drive site has parking, and is his preferred option.
The vote did not require the dog park to remain at Bunny McGuire Park. It only prevented the town from using the proposed LoCIP funding for its relocation.
Bunce said one resident offered to donate the $6,800 needed to cover the cost of the move. He plans to hold a public hearing on whether the dog park should be relocated and, if so, where. The Board of Selectmen will then decide how to proceed.
“Ultimately, if everybody says, ‘We don’t want this moved,’ we will take that into consideration,” Bunce said.

MILLERTON — Our precious Olly Josiah Rea, beloved son, cherished brother, treasured grandson, and dearly loved by so many, went home to be with his Savior, Jesus Christ, on July 25, 2026, at just two years old.
Though his time on earth was far too brief, Olly’s life overflowed with joy, laughter, and unconditional love. He filled every room with his contagious smile, infectious giggle, and endless curiosity. His joyful spirit had a way of drawing people to him, and it was impossible not to smile in his presence.
Born on July 17, 2024, to Johnathan and Darryl Sue (Lasko) Rea, Olly was happiest simply being with the people he loved. Whether enjoying family vacations, running through church hallways with an ear-to-ear grin, or making everyone around him laugh with his playful personality, he embraced childhood with a joy that was unmistakably his own.
Olly delighted in the simple things that make childhood so special. He loved Mickey Mouse, Lightning McQueen and his friends from Cars, dinosaurs, and every opportunity to be surrounded by family and friends. Whether excitedly saying, “Ready, go”, curiously asking, “Ooh, what’s that?”, pointing off into the middle distance, making “vroom-vroom” sounds as he raced his toy trucks across the floor, or doing his happy twist, Olly embraced each day with wonder and excitement. He loved watching airplanes soar overhead, eagerly searching the sky whenever he heard one. He found endless joy splashing in the water, pulling his favorite wagon, and never wanted his carousel rides to end.
He never shied away from a camera, saying, “Cheese!”, leaving behind countless photographs that beautifully tell the story of a little boy whose radiant smile could brighten anyone’s day. Olly was the epitome of a daddy’s boy, and loved to be in his father’s arms, always reaching for him with a beckoning wave to be picked up. He also had a particular talent for finding the frosting on a cupcake—often preferring generous handfuls of icing while leaving the cake behind—a memory that will forever bring both smiles and tears to those who loved him.
One of Olly’s favorite places was his church. From his earliest days, he was raised in a home where Christ was known, loved, and faithfully served. He grew up surrounded by parents who taught him about the love of Jesus and by a church family that treasured him as one of their own. He especially loved the attention of the older girls at church, who eagerly played with him, loved on him, and delighted in every hug, laugh, and mischievous smile. To them, he was much more than a little boy—he was their little buddy.
Although his time with us lasted only two short years, Olly’s life was rich in laughter, hugs, adventures, faith, and unconditional love. His joyful spirit, radiant smile, and precious life will forever remain woven into the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his beloved brothers, Cory and Levi; his loving parents, Johnathan and Darryl Sue (Lasko) Rea; maternal grandmother, Susan (Cahill) Lasko; paternal grandmother, Brenda (Senter) Stewart; paternal grandparents, Jimmy and Frances (Tapia) Rea; paternal great-grandparents, Stanley and Margaret (Brennan) Senter; along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and countless friends who loved him dearly.
Among those welcoming him into Heaven were his maternal grandfather, Darryl Lasko; maternal great-grandfather, William J. Lasko Sr; maternal great-grandmother, Doris (Hanaburgh) Lasko; maternal great-grandfather, Joseph T. Cahill Jr; maternal great-grandmother, Vivian (Deats) Cahill; paternal great-grandmother, Sally Garcia; maternal great-uncle, Daniel; paternal great-uncle, Robert, and great-aunt, Patsy.
