Have you checked out our new Real Estate Transactions Page? Dating back to mid-December, iBerkshires now offers a searchable, indexed listing of transactions for the larger towns and both cities in the Berkshires. The link can be found at the top of our Real Estate Page.
The new database feature allows users to search by price, date, community, address, buyer and seller.
We've made the search functions easy to use. Just click on the category to switch from high to low, A to B, earliest and latest. The database, at rest, is set to show the latest transactions by date in no particular order. Click on the date again to find the earliest listing.
The same goes for price: click on it once to get the lowest price and again to get the highest, which is currently $1,753,000 for a nine-unit apartment building in Great Barrington. How do we know it's a nine unit? Because our real estate data also includes information about the building.
If you select "More Info," you'll find the usage, style, the year it was built, and the number of rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms that apply.
You can also search price and other data within specific towns by selecting the community from the dropdown list. Use the start- and end-date calendars to select a period of time to research and hit the submit button.
The "Address" category lists addresses first by number out to at least four numerals and then by alphabetical order. For example: 12 Oak St., 12 Richview Ave., 120 Burlingame Hill, 124 Fenn St., 126 Elizabeth St. Clicking Address again will flip the results.
The latest transactions will be updated every Friday afternoon; there is a bit of delay between the transaction and the posting date because of the amount of information provided.
We expect to add on more towns in the future and different ways to search the data.
Give us some feedback on this feature, what you like, don't like and what we can do better. We're always open to suggestions.
