Sharon median home price climbs to $762,500

SHARON – Prices for single-family homes in Sharon, excluding condos, continued to rise, reaching a 12-month trailing median sales price of $762,500 for the period ending May 31, 2026. That is the highest 12-month median price since September 2024, though it remains below the all-time high of $880,000 reached in August 2024.

The latest median represents a 33% increase from the $575,000 recorded for the 12 months ending May 31, 2025, and an 18% increase from the $647,500 recorded for the comparable period ending May 31, 2024.

Despite the rise in prices, sales activity remained relatively stable. A total of 42 single-family homes sold during the 12 months ending May 31, 2026, compared with 41 sales during the same period a year earlier and 38 sales two years ago.

As of June 6, there were 16 residential properties listed for sale in Sharon — 15 single-family homes and one condominium — compared with 11 a month earlier. Even so, Sharon remained a seller’s market, particularly at the lower end. Eleven of the listings were priced above $1 million, while just four were listed below the town’s median sale price of $762,500.

Ten parcels of land are listed for sale on MLS with only one parcel smaller than five acres.

Summer rentals are still available, ranging from $6,000 a month to $25,000 for the season with only one unfurnished year-round, two bedroom apartment available for $2,300.

Dog owners know the dilemma: You’re out for the day with your four-legged sidekick when hunger strikes. Fortunately, a number of area restaurants, cafés and breweries welcome dogs, mostly at outdoor tables. Policies and outdoor seating can change with the season, so calling ahead is always a good idea.

The White Hart and Provisions in Salisbury is particularly pet-friendly. The inn welcomes pets on request, and its front porch and sprawling lawn make inviting places to settle in with a canine companion. They even welcome well-behaved patrons — bipedal and quadruped alike — in the cozy dining area.

“It’s unbelievable that this sweet, loving boy hasn’t found his home yet,” said Tiffany Lemelin, shelter manager of The Little Guild, whose mission is to rescue, love and heal homeless cats and dogs. She smiled at the small dog wagging his tail. “This is one of the most deserving dogs you could ever meet, with so much love to give.”

Marsala is an energetic, 1-year-old, 45-pound black Labrador mix waiting to be adopted. He arrived March 25 as a stray named “Chicken” from Toccoa, Georgia.

Meade Canine Rescue and Sanctuary is not the average rescue. Situated on a quiet dirt road on 8 acres in Wingdale, the dogs living there are, for the most part, uncaged, roaming the yard, sleeping in the house, resting in the shade of a tree or lounging in the open van that often takes them for rides.

“We go on lots of adventures,” said the rescue’s founder, Charlotte Meade.

The bear necessities of living in bear country

A bear outside Cornwall Consolidated School in West Cornwall.

D.H. Callahan
Take down bird feeders when bears are active. Secure garbage cans left outside, and never leave pet food or trash on porches, screened-in or otherwise.

This here is bear country. In fact, Connecticut has an unusually high rate of bear home entries compared with neighboring states. So far this year, the state has documented more than 60 home entries, and bears have been spotted in all 169 towns and cities.

Bears are also part of life in neighboring Dutchess County. But don’t worry. It’s not as bad as it sounds.

Newtown Veterinary Specialists

Anyone who has ever had a dog swallow something it shouldn’t, a cat suddenly struggle to breathe or a pet get hurt late at night knows how quickly panic can set in. In our corner of the world, there’s an added complication: emergency veterinary care may mean getting in the car and driving some distance.

That makes it worth knowing your options before you need them — and knowing the difference between a local veterinary practice that can handle an urgent case and a fully staffed, 24-hour emergency hospital.
