SHARON – Single-family homes in Sharon, excluding condos, ticked up in April from March to a median price of $730,000 for the 12-month period ending April 30, 2026. Prices have remained above $700,000 since December 2025.

The $730,000 figure marks a 30% increase from the $560,000 median recorded for the 12 months ending April 30, 2025, and a 13% increase from $647,500 for the comparable period ending April 30, 2024. The peak median price on the same 12-month trailing basis was $880,000, reached in August 2024.

Unit sales of single-family homes in Sharon on a 12-month rolling basis remained within the historic range of 35 to 45 transactions a year. A total of 38 single-family homes sold in the 12 months ending April 30, 2026, compared with 43 sales in the period ending April 30, 2025, and 38 sales in the 12 months ending April 30, 2024.

The seasonal spring surge of new listings has yet to appear, and inventory across all categories remains low.

As of May 6, just 11 single-family homes were on the market. Of those, eight were listed above $1 million, while two residential properties were listed below the current $730,000 median price.

Eleven parcels of land were listed for sale on the MLS, with only one parcel smaller than five acres. Summer rentals ranged from $6,000 to $25,000 per month, while unfurnished rentals accounted for just two of the 13 rental listings.

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.

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.
