SALISBURY — The 12-month trailing median sale price for a single-family home in Salisbury, excluding condominiums, fell to $770,000 for the period ending Feb. 28, 2026, its lowest level in almost four years.

That figure represents a 19% decline from the $947,500 median recorded for the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2025, and a 15% drop from the $896,000 median for the comparable period ending Feb. 29, 2024. The rolling 12-month median in February was the lowest since October 2022, when it stood at $688,500.

Single-family home sales in Salisbury, measured on a rolling 12-month basis, remained within their typical historical range. A total of 48 homes sold in the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2026, unchanged from the same period a year earlier. That compares with 52 sales in the 12 months ending Feb. 29, 2024.

In recent years, annual single-family home sales in Salisbury have generally ranged from 45 to 55 transactions. These figures remain well below the historic peak of 117 sales recorded in the 12 month period through May 2021 during the pandemic-era surge.

Inventory rose in February. As of March 21, there were 16 single-family homes and one condominium on the market. Of those listings, seven were priced above $1 million.

In addition, six parcels of land are currently listed on the MLS. The seasonal rental market is also beginning to pick up, with summer furnished rentals coming online.

Sharon voters split opioid settlement funds between ambulance, regional programs

Sharon voters approved splitting $24,000 in opioid settlement funds at an Aug. 27 town meeting.

Alec Linden

SHARON — Sharon voters unanimously approved splitting $24,000 in opioid settlement funds between the town’s ambulance service and a regional fund supporting addiction prevention, harm reduction and mental health services.

The decision Thursday, Aug. 27, came two months after voters rejected an earlier Board of Finance-backed proposal, 27-11, at a June 18 town meeting. Residents had expressed concern about directing all the money, which must be used for opioid remediation, to a regional organization rather than supporting the town’s emergency medical service.

With memoir...the character only knows what the character knows.
Janice Erlbaum

In “Girlbomb: A Halfway Homeless Memoir,” published in 2006, author Janice Erlbaum wrote about the years after she left her family’s Brooklyn apartment at 15, moving through shelters, group homes, squats, clubs and the streets of 1980s New York while somehow continuing to attend high school. The book has sold more than 75,000 copies, stayed in print for two decades and continues to find new readers.

Now Erlbaum, 57, lives in Millerton and on Saturday, Sept. 5, at 7:30 p.m., she will celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Girlbomb” with a reading at Black Rabbit Dispensary. The event is open to the public and will be livestreamed on Instagram.
