This past week was the end of an era for Verona real estate. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach confirmed that it will be closing its office on Bloomfield Avenue opposite Verona Park, a location that has been a Verona realty office since 1963. The agents there will move their licenses to BHHS’s offices in either Montclair or Livingston, and house hunters will continue to do what they’ve done for many years now: Use realty websites to identify potential properties.
While buyers seem to need ever more space, real estate firms need less because their agents can operate from wherever they have cell phone and internet service. So it is that one of this week’s new listings is a substantially expanded colonial.
Here’s what’s happening, from lowest priced to highest in each category:
