Our Weekly Real Estate Updates

In the Litchfield Hills & Beyond

December delivers on its promises. Holiday strolls through our towns and villages, festive parties filling calendars, lights twinkling in village centers, and that unmistakable feeling that the year is reaching its most wonderful moment. But beneath the seasonal magic, something equally significant is happening—deals are closing, new listings are arriving, and smart buyers are positioning themselves to start 2026 exactly where they want to be. The Christmas season brings joy, yes, but it also brings clarity: properties moving from $337K to $1.525M, proving every price point stays active even as others drift into holiday mode.

This week’s market reflects December’s dual energy. Fresh listings including West Stockbridge’s 1791 Amasa Spencer House, a polished antique gem within strolling distance of shops and restaurants. Lakeville’s 4-bedroom homestead with barn on 2.7 acres. Dramatic 86-acre Boston Corners farm with Taconic Mountain views. Featured opportunities from Cornwall’s Greek Revival on 24 historic acres to Sheffield’s classic cape with pool. Three recent closings—including that charming Lakeville cottage with lake access and Salisbury’s renovated colonial with Housatonic River access on 13 acres. Land opportunities from Falls Village’s 41-acre Doves Cove to reduced West Woods acreage in Sharon.

The year’s final stretch isn’t about pausing—it’s about finishing strong. Close before year-end, celebrate the holidays in your new reality, wake up January 1st exactly where you planned to be. Whether you’re eyeing that 1791 West Stockbridge gem, Lakeville’s barn property, or the dramatic Boston Corners farm, December’s message is clear: the magic happens when others think the market sleeps. It doesn’t.

Warmest Regards,

The Elyse Harney Real Estate Team
