Real estate activity across the tri-state region held steady this week, with transactions recorded in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, Litchfield County, Connecticut, and Columbia County, New York. The latest filings show a mix of single-family homes, condominiums, and vacant land changing hands, reflecting continued demand in both rural and town settings.
In Berkshire County, sales ranged from modest starter homes to larger properties near recreational areas. Several transactions closed in Pittsfield and Lenox, while smaller towns like Becket and Otis saw land parcels transfer to new owners. Prices varied widely depending on location and condition.
Litchfield County recorded a handful of notable sales, particularly in Salisbury and Sharon, where buyers continue to seek second homes and quiet retreats. A few antique properties drew interest, though most deals stayed close to asking price.
Columbia County saw activity in Hudson and Chatham, with a mix of renovated older homes and newer construction. Vacant lots in outlying areas also found buyers, suggesting ongoing interest in building.
Across the region, inventory remains tighter than in previous years, and well-maintained properties tend to move quickly. Local agents note that buyers are cautious but motivated, especially when financing terms are favorable. The coming weeks will show whether this pace continues into late autumn.
