SALISBURY — Salisbury’s median single-family home price, excluding condos, held steady at $920,000 for the 12 months ending July 31, 2026. That was down 5.6% from $975,000 a year earlier but up 6.4% from $865,000 for the same 12-month period in 2024.

Ten homes sold in July, the highest monthly total since September 2020. A total of 58 homes sold during the latest 12-month period, up from 44 the previous year and 50 in 2024.

Annual sales peaked at 117 in May 2021 amid the pandemic-era housing boom. Prices have risen sharply since 2024, reaching a record median of $1.35 million in May 2025.

Inventory of all listed residential properties for sale rose slightly to 24 by early August. High-end homes continue to dominate, with 14 homes asking over $1 million and only 10 below the median of $920,000.

Furnished seasonal and academic rentals remained plentiful in early August, with 26 homes available from $2,250 for an unfurnished apartment to $12,000 for a five bedroom house. Eight summer rentals are still listed as available.

Sharon voters split opioid settlement funds between ambulance, regional programs

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.
