Welcome to Real Estate Friday!

Maureen White Kirkby of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Barnbrook Realty offers a house with light space, views, peace and tranquility. 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 – Maureen White Kirkby of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Barnbrook Realty offers a luxurious home surrounded by 15 pastoral acres, with picturesque mountain views, on one of the most scenic roads in The Berkshires.
  • 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 – The Dewey Hall Dalia Festival demonstrated the power of flowers to cast a spell on people captivated by the sheer beauty and range of the varieties of flowers within the genus of Dahlia.
  • The Lazy Berkshire Gardener – Because we’ve had so little rain lately, Jodi advises to keep watering recently planted trees, shrubs, and perennials. Watering encourages good root growth now. A healthy start now makes them more resilient to winter sunburn and healthier plants next year.
  • Farm and Table – A recipe for Fajita Stuffed Peppers from the kitchen of Monica Bliss.
