SALISBURY — The 12-month trailing median price for a single-family home in Salisbury, excluding condos, was $775,000 for the period ending March 31, 2026 — significantly lower than for the same period a year earlier.

The $775,000 trailing median marks a 21% decline from the $975,000 median recorded for the 12 months ending March 31, 2025, and a 14% drop from $896,000 for the comparable period ending March 31, 2024. It was also the lowest 12-month rolling median recorded since October 2022, when it stood at $688,500.

Single-family home sales in Salisbury remained within a typical range on a 12-month rolling basis. A total of 51 homes were sold in the 12 months ending March 31, 2026, compared with 48 sales in the prior year and 51 in the same period ending March 31, 2024.

Over the past three years, annual sales have generally ranged between 45 and 60 homes — although well below the more than 100 sales recorded during the peak market of 2021.

Inventory of listed homes increased slightly over the past 30 days. As of April 15, there were 19 single-family homes on the market. Of those, eight were listed above $1 million, while six were priced at or below the current $775,000 median.

Eight parcels of land — including two new listings — were also on the market, according to MLS data. Meanwhile, summer furnished rentals are beginning to hit the market, with seasonal asking prices ranging from $6,000 to $65,000. There were no unfurnished homes available for rent

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.
