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.
