Salisbury median property price reaches new high

SALISBURY — With strong January sales, 12-month median single family residential prices reached an all-time high of $945,000 in Salisbury. Three of the four home sales were for over a million dollars while a modest cottage sold for $560,000. Two parcels of land were sold including five acres of lake front property for over two million dollars. These results suggest continued demand in Salisbury at high price levels.

In early February there were 19 homes available for sale with 12 of them over a million dollars. The rental market includes only three unfurnished homes with 11 furnished academic, winter and summer homes available.

“Every picture begins with just a collection of good shapes,” said painter and illustrator Dan Howe, standing amid his paintings and drawings at the Kearcher-Monsell Gallery at Housatonic Valley Regional High School. The exhibit, which opened on Friday, March 7, and runs through April 10, spans decades and influences, from magazine illustration to portrait commissions to imagined worlds pulled from childhood nostalgia.
