he best cure for those dreaded summertime blues is some good old-fashioned country and waterfront living! vermont • • vermont Perhaps we’re biased here at Country catskills • TMountain & Waterfront Properties, but for us summer is our favorite time of year and we’re convinced that at least half our greatest memories are memories of people we met and great times we enjoyed in the summer. We often throw clichés around, but summer moments with the children frolicking under the sprinkler or swinging on ‘that tire’ litchfield
• hanging from the tall, old oak tree are priceless and hikes up splendorous, verdant hills overlooking majestic, bending gorges on ultra sunny, 82-degree days aren’t chopped liver either! How ‘bout a day at the beach with a new boyfriend or girlfriend and the lobster dinner at the seafood grotto to go with it or a family reunion and big time BBQ with all the stops (including tapped kegs of course) in the backyard?
‘LARCHMONT WATERFRONT’ (3017939), M ar y H dy, JBF/SIR, 914-834-0270 The beauty of all this is that the word on the street (or quaint country lane as it were)---stretching from along the Sound in Westchester County to the Berkshire foothills in SIZZLING SUMMER SCORCHERS Dutchess and Litchfield Counties and points, east, west and further north----is that business is booming. Okay, for some it may just be picking up or much better than it was a year ago, but many real estate professionals that we’ve spoken with ARE reporting that business is good or very good.
Agents and brokers are busy showing property and it’s not uncommon for brokerages and offices that were closing two or maybe three sales a month last spring to sign 10 - 15 contracts a month in this clearly better market. Sellers and buyers have found their groove and good, hardworking folks like New York Observer readers are feeling confident enough to get back into the ‘country home’ swing of things and plant seeds.
At the end of the day, people do realize that life is short and you gotta live it! With that in mind and this writer’s babbling aside, we present yet another magnificent edition of CMW and invite you to wade through these pages until you find
