Salisbury real estate transactions in March

SALISBURY — In March, Salisbury’s median home price rose 9.3% from March of 2024 to $975,000.

Median prices of Salisbury single family homes have steadily risen since December 2024 to achieve a 22 year record at the end of March.

Two of the three residential sales, including the sale of playwright David Rabe’s home on Ore Mine Road, were sold for over a million dollars, each with over 10 acres of land.

The two commercial sales on Main Street in Salisbury, each which have a retail space on the street level and an apartment above, seem like bargains at $560,000 and $400,000.

At the end of the first week in April there were 23 single family homes listed for sale with seven categorized as new listings. This has risen since mid-March when there were only 17 houses for sale — the selling season may have begun.

Inventory in the rental market has also increased to 23 listings in the last three weeks, including ten furnished summer homes ranging from $3,300 to $75,000.

KENT — Democratic U.S. Congresswoman Jahana Hayes began her community meeting May 27 with optimism. Speaking before a large crowd at the Community House, she said, “I don’t want people to think the sky is falling and we’re losing our democracy.”

She said she was there to hear from those in attendance, but first made a quick comment about how Congress spent so much time debating President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” Mention of the legislation brought loud boos from the audience. “Every day we realize how egregious it is,” she said.
