Old houses, a low tax rate, a small market
Sharon is a rural Litchfield County town on the New York line, about 2,710 people. It has a historic village center, farmland, and homes near Mudge Pond and Silver Lake, plus the village of Ellsworth.
Only 52 homes sold from October 2024 to September 2025. The overall median was $498,000 and the single-family median $530,000. With a market this small, the right buyer for an older house can take a long time to show up.
Colonials are about 26% of homes, Cape Cods 20% and Ranches 17%. Houses are large, about 2,324 square feet on average, and old: 48% of single-family homes predate 1960 and 35% predate 1940. Oil heats about 69% of them. About 21.5% of housing units are vacant at a given time, which reflects the number of second homes.

Why some Sharon owners choose a cash sale
Taxes are not the problem in Sharon. At 11.15 mills, even a $530,000 house pays only about $4,140 a year, near $340 a month. The harder part is the age of the houses and the few buyers each year. A lender's inspector on a house from before 1940 tends to find a long list, and a cash sale skips that.
About 27.5% of Sharon homes are rented, and many others are second homes. Owners who no longer come up on weekends often decide a quick sale beats another winter of heating an empty house. The last revaluation was October 1, 2023, and the next is October 1, 2028.
Behind on payments or taxes
Facing foreclosure or a tax lien in Sharon?
Sharon's bill is low, about $4,140 a year on a typical house, but it still gathers interest when it goes unpaid: Connecticut adds 1.5% a month, 18% a year, and the town can lien the property.
If the mortgage is also behind, Connecticut mostly uses strict foreclosure, where the Superior Court sets a Law Day. A cash sale before that day pays the lender and the tax, and you keep the equity in the house.
