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.

Put $1M to work for housing affordability

If I had $1 million to improve housing affordability in Litchfield County, I would create a revolving Housing Opportunity Fund. Instead of spending the entire amount on one or two homes, I would use it to help local housing trusts acquire land or properties, provide down-payment assistance for qualified buyers, convert appropriate existing buildings into housing, and help cover some of the upfront costs that can prevent good housing projects from ever getting started.

125 years ago — September 1901

LIME ROCK — Matthew Patterson recently received a silver medal from the Canadian government as a token of his services during the Fenian raid in ‘71. The medal is suitably inscribed and is considerably heavier than a silver dollar. It depends from a silk tri-color and pin, and altogether makes a very neat souvenir.

Voices from our community about the housing we need for a healthy, vibrant future

Jordan Seibert and Riley Bossi

Shelly Dinelle

There’s a reason people say, “It takes a village to raise a child.” To thrive, a child needs a safe, stable place to call home. That’s the bedrock for health, dignity, and the chance to build a bright future. What kind of “village” does it take to create these homes?

Motivated by compassion and a drive to make housing more accessible, it took the Foundation for Norfolk Living years of hard work to create ten affordable homes at Haystack Woods. The “village” turned out to be a patchwork of support that included financial help from the DOH, a construction mortgage through Northwest Community Bank, and a Community Development Block Grant to purchase the property and pay for the road and infrastructure. The result? Two- and three-bedroom homes reserved for first-time homebuyers earning 60-80% of Litchfield County’s median income, and selling for $159,000 to $261,000. The condominium homes are deed-restricted and net-zero thanks to energy-efficient construction, solar panels, and battery storage, meaning the homebuyers will have no energy costs! Curious? Just Google “Haystack Woods” to learn more. It’s a remarkable accomplishment.
