Berkshire region real estate sales – September 4, 2026

September 4, 2026 - 03:26

Sales data for the week ending September 4, 2026, shows steady activity across the tri-state region, with a mix of single-family homes, condominiums, and vacant land changing hands. In Berkshire County, Massachusetts, the market continues to favor buyers in the mid-range price bracket, though several premium properties closed above the one-million-dollar mark.

In Pittsfield, a three-bedroom colonial on the east side sold after just eleven days on the market, reflecting continued demand for move-in ready homes under four hundred thousand dollars. Further north, in Williamstown, a renovated farmhouse with a detached barn and two acres drew multiple offers, ultimately closing at nearly nine percent over the asking price. Agents note that inventory remains tight in the northern tier of the county, particularly for properties with views of the Green Mountains.

Across the border in Litchfield County, Connecticut, sales were concentrated in the towns of Salisbury, Sharon, and Cornwall. A lakefront cottage on Wononscopomuc Lake in Salisbury fetched a premium, while a modest ranch in Winsted sold quickly to a first-time buyer. The county saw a slight uptick in sales of smaller parcels, with several two-to-five acre lots moving in the rural eastern sections.

In Columbia County, New York, the market leaned toward historic properties. A nineteenth-century brick rowhouse in Hudson sold for just under its list price, and a converted barn in Claverack closed after a short negotiation period. Several buyers from the New York City metro area were involved in these transactions, continuing a trend seen over the past several quarters.

Real estate professionals across the three counties report that financing conditions have improved modestly, with fixed mortgage rates holding steady for the fourth consecutive week. This has helped keep monthly payments predictable for buyers, though affordability remains a concern in the higher-priced towns. Sellers are adjusting expectations, and the average days on market has stretched to about thirty-four days, up from twenty-eight at the same time last year.

The full list of recorded transfers is available at local town clerk offices and through the regional multiple listing service.
