SALISBURY – Home prices in Salisbury softened during the 12-month period ending June 30, 2026, while sales held steady and inventory remained limited.

The 12-month trailing median price for a single-family home, excluding condos, in Salisbury was $920,000 for the period ending June 30, 2026. That was 19% lower than the $1,136,000 median recorded for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2025, but 6% higher than the $865,000 median for the comparable period ending June 30, 2024.

A total of 52 homes sold during the 12-month period ending June 30, 2026, roughly four a month. The record on a 12-month trailing basis was set in May 2021 when 117 were sold in a year.

Sales were relatively stable compared with 44 homes sold during the 12-month period ending June 30, 2025, and 52 homes sold during the comparable period ending June 30, 2024.

Inventory of all listed residential properties for sale rose slightly to 21 in early July. High-end homes dominated with 15 homes listed for more than $1 million and only six below the current median price.

Furnished seasonal and academic rentals remained plentiful in early July with 32 homes available from $3,850 for the academic year to $65,000 for the summer. Eight houses are available on an annual basis, furnished and unfurnished, from $2,250 to $15,000 per month.

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.
