Welcome to Real Estate Friday!

Capture the essence of the Berkshires in this updated colonial, filled with history but with all modern comforts on a very desirable road, offered by Lauren Molk and Elyse Harney Morris of Elyse Harney Real Estate. Bobby Houston of Scout House builds a co-housing project by the river in Great Barrington. An analysis of second quarter 2024 real estate sales. Plus, recent sales, a farm-and-table recipe, and gardening columns.

Here’s what we have for you this week in The Edge Real Estate section:

  • Property of the Week – Lauren Molk and Elyse Harney Morris of Elyse Harney Real Estate offer the best of the Berkshires—a beautiful historic colonial, completely updated for the comfort of today’s owner, in a perfect country setting.
  • Transformations – Bobby Houston from Scout House builds cohousing down by the river.
  • Weekly real estate transactions for Berkshire County, Northern Litchfield County and Columbia County.
  • Market Perspective – The real estate market in the second quarter was a mixed bag—higher sales and higher prices in some areas but lower in others. Mortgage rates are still having an impact.
  • The Self-Taught Gardener – Soil is filled with dormant seeds that will sprout and grow when their conditions for germination are met. This is both a blessing and a curse, and occasionally somewhere in between. Lee wonders how his own garden will be affected.
  • The Lazy Berkshire Gardener – Jodi has lots of advice for transitioning to fall for both your garden and the plants you plan to bring inside.
  • Farm and Table – A recipe for Summer Tomato Tarts with lemon dressing from the kitchen of Monica Bliss.

"We're lucky to live in a region where our immigrant community has, for the most part, been supported in the past, but we need to think about the long-term big picture. We need to think about our neighbors, families, friends, and the people who are making a difference in our community and making it a special place to live."
