SALISBURY - The median sale price for a single-family home in Salisbury, excluding condominiums, was $925,000 for the 12-month period ending Aug. 31, 2026.

The median increased 1% from $912,500 for the same 12-month period in 2025 and 14% from $810,000 for the period ending Aug. 31, 2024.

Sales activity also increased. Fifty-eight single-family homes changed hands during the most recent 12-month period, compared with 48 the previous year and 46 during the 12 months ending Aug. 31, 2024.

The number of sales peaked at 117 for the 12-month period ending in May 2021, amid the surge in market activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past four years, however, the 12-month total has generally ranged from 40 to 60 homes.

As of early September, 22 residential properties were listed for sale in Salisbury. The upper end of the market continued to dominate the available inventory, with 13 properties priced above $1 million and nine listed below the town’s $925,000 median sale price.

Seasonal and academic-year rentals remained plentiful, with 26 houses and apartments available. Asking rents ranged from $2,000 per month for an unfurnished apartment to $12,000 for a furnished 5-bedroom house.

Eight parcels of land were also listed for sale. Asking prices started at $475,000 and reached $795,000 for a one-acre lot on Wells Hill Road.

Bobby’s Pheasant Casserole

Pheasant casserole, a South Dakota tradition, passed down through generations and made for sharing.

And although I’ve traded the South Dakota prairies for the hills of northwest Connecticut, my love of pheasant season has followed me home.
