Sharon real estate sales in Sept.

Sharon real estate sales in Sept.

Renovations have already begun at 93 Amenia Union Rd. In November of 2020 it was listed for sale at $6,485,000 and after many reductions for $2,845,000 in May of 2024. It sold in September for $2.1 million.

SHARON — For a town with an average of four monthly real estate closings, September 2024 with 13 recorded sales was especially busy. Since recording with the town clerk occurs after the actual closing when money and keys are exchanged, it’s possible that real estate attorneys were all on vacation at the end of August and slow to record sales or that home sales have accelerated in Sharon.

Properties were exchanged across a range of price points with five under $500,000, five between $500,000 to $1 million, and three over a million dollars.

Despite September’s activity there are still houses for sale with eleven new listings since Sept. 30. As of Nov. 7 there were 56 properties for sale including 24 single family homes with only five under $500,000. Roughly half of properties listed for sale currently have been on the market for over 100 days.

SHARON — Nearly two months after Sharon voters settled a contentious school budget debate, the town’s Board of Finance and Board of Education are working to improve communication. While the boards are approaching common ground, including on the state minimum budget requirement—a central sticking point in the budget discussions this past spring and summer—differences remain as to how tight to keep the bottom line.

Voters at a town hall meeting in May initially rejected the education budget before approving a revised plan in late June.

NEW PRESTON — As hydrilla and other aquatic invasive species spread across Connecticut, a new watercraft inspection and decontamination program at Lake Waramaug is testing an additional defense against their spread from lake to lake.

Launched this spring, the program operates at two sites: a municipal inspection station at the Lake Waramaug boat ramp and a hot-water decontamination facility slightly more than a mile away at the New Preston firehouse on Route 202. Organizers describe it as Connecticut’s first fully integrated, lake-based watercraft inspection and decontamination program.
