STANFORD — Median home prices in Stanford are rising again, with the 12-month trailing median sale price up 14% from a year ago.

The median price for a single-family home in the Town of Stanford was $675,000 for the period from March 1, 2025, through Feb. 28, 2026.

That figure was up from the $590,500 median recorded for the 12-month-period ending Feb. 28, 2025, and up 57% from the $430,000 median recorded in 2023–24. The highest 12-month trailing median price in Stanford over the past decade was $712,500, reached in November 2025.

The number of single-family home sales in Stanford, measured on a 12-month trailing basis, remains on the lower end of its three-year range of 30 to 45 sales annually — well below the pace seen in early 2021, when 80 homes sold in the first six months of the year.

A total of 32 homes were sold in the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2026, down from 44 sales in the prior 12-month period but up from 29 sales in the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2024.

Inventory remains limited. As of mid-April, seven single-family homes were on the market. Six were listed above $1 million, with just one priced below that level at $459,000. By comparison, only two parcels of land were listed for sale on the MLS, priced at $275,000 and $300,000.

29 Drake Road — 3 bedroom/3.5 bath contemporary home with pool on 2 acres sold to Tyler Headley, Trustee for $2.35 million.

5760 Route 82 — 3 bedroom/2 bath raised ranch on 5.16 acres sold to Tessa Pilon for $435,000.

Cornwall Historical Society celebrates Connecticut’s Black patriots

Cornwall Historical Society celebrates Connecticut’s Black patriots

On Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Cornwall Historical Society, author and genealogist John Mills will breathe new life into the stories of some of Connecticut’s more underappreciated patriots. The reason these heroes were forgotten? They were Black.

At a time when white colonists were fighting for their own liberty and political independence, many Black men who fought alongside them remained enslaved. Some risked their lives only to return to bondage. Though enslaved people were promised freedom from both sides of the Revolutionary War in exchange for their service, Great Britain, too, was still deeply dependent on slavery. For Black people in America, the war presented both extraordinary risks and uncertain paths to the freedom that white colonists were demanding for themselves.

You only get one or two of these soul connection dogs, so I do this in his honor.
— Stephanie Saetta

Stephanie Saetta has spent much of her life caring for others. A physician at White Plains Hospital, she has another calling at home in Salisbury — one that has four legs and a wagging tail. She runs Charlie Chicken Bone Sanctuary, a nonprofit dog rescue that brings dogs from overcrowded pounds and the streets of Texas to foster homes in northwestern Connecticut, where they can begin again.

The sanctuary is named for Charlie, the dog who taught her how special a bond between a person and rescue animal can be.

The Pink House AM is serving up community

The Pink House AM is serving up community

Mare Rubin and Maggie Levine of the Pink House AM.

Madi Long

It all started with a yoga class. Mare Rubin was working on her second act after leaving the Upper West Side, where she’d raised a family and worked in corporate marketing. Newly empty nesters, she and her husband decided to move to the wilds of northwestern Connecticut, where they had spent 15 years as weekenders, to see what life in the woods had in store for them.

Rubin started teaching yoga classes at the Union in West Cornwall, a space designated by the town of Cornwall as a community hub with couches, Wi-Fi, occasional events and a growing yoga class schedule. She was adjusting well but missed one important thing about city life: a casual coffee shop.
