Welcome to Real Estate Friday!

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 town home within walking distance of downtown Great Barrington.
  • 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 – In the 3rd quarter of 2024, real estate sales and dollar volume were both down, but the market seems to be slowly rebounding.
  • The Self-Taught Gardener – While Lee fondly remembers summers at the family cottage, eating from the vegetable garden, living on corn and tomatoes and anything on the grill, it is the late season harvests of fall that come to mind when he thinks of his parents.
  • The Lazy Berkshire Gardener – Jodi had beautiful blooms of dahlia, lantana, and scaevola, but frost has changed that. Still, Jodi appreciates the seasons of the Berkshires. A good frost marks a transition and time to rejoice.
  • Farm and Table – A recipe for Coconut-Curry Chili from the kitchen of Monica Bliss.
