Salisbury August real estate sales

Salisbury August real estate sales

This 1,008 square foot ranch on Reservoir Road built in 1972 sited on 2.56 acres was sold for $350,000 to Lemon Properties LLC. It was previously sold for $250,000 in 2020.

The month of July’s recorded real estate sales volume in Salisbury was three and half times greater than the $3.7 million recorded in August. Although the number of recorded transfers was similar this total dollar result reflects the timing unpredictability of the sale of high-end properties. Similarly, the median price of a single-family home in Salisbury in August fell to $875,000 from $1,663,000 in July according to Smart MLS. Looking on an annual basis, the rolling 12 month median price of Salisbury homes remains in the vicinity of $900,000.

In August there were no recorded transfers above one million dollars while in July there were six. As of Sept. 12, there were 23 single family houses listed for sale in Salisbury with only one under $500,000 and 17 over $1 million. All 15 available rentals in Salisbury are furnished with the least expensive at $3,500.

Both were active volunteer first responders. Her brother Stanley MacMillan, Jr., is a member of the Sharon Fire Department.
