The Week Before Thanksgiving

There’s something about the week before Thanksgiving that sharpens focus—on what matters, what we’re grateful for, and what we’re protecting. Tomorrow night, November 22nd, Elyse Harney Morris co-chairs the Housatonic Valley Association’s Auction for the Environment alongside Lily Cowles, hosted by Emmy and Tony Award-winner Christine Baranski. This isn’t just conservation in abstract terms—it’s about protecting the rivers, forests, and natural beauty that make our region what it is, from the Berkshires through western Connecticut to Long Island Sound. Amazing getaways and VIP experiences up for bid, plus a new 1-in-150 raffle for premium packages (just $100). Attend in person or bid online free of charge.

The real estate market continues its pre-holiday momentum with range and quality. Fresh listings from North Canaan’s $369K classic colonial to Sharon’s $765K renovated gem with designer details. Featured opportunities including Lakeville’s private country home with pool. Two significant closings this week—Salisbury’s historic $2.75M Main Street estate and a $97K Millerton home, proving every price point is moving. Price reductions on Lakeville commercial space and Millerton renovation projects. From lakefront ranches to in-town rentals, this week offers something for everyone ready to act.

Celebrate what we have, protect what we love, and keep moving forward. Whether you’re bidding tomorrow night, closing on a property, or simply grateful for where you live, this is the week to act on what matters.
