Adams home sale prices span $71,600 to $317,580 in latest deed filings

ADAMS -- Eighteen property deeds were recorded in Adams between July 24 and Aug. 22, but only five listed a sale price, ranging from $71,600 to $317,580. A condominium at 4 Edmunds St. Unit M301 was the period's lone six-figure-plus outlier, selling for more than triple the next-highest disclosed price.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eighteen sales were recorded in the four-week period. Among the five transactions with a disclosed price, sales ranged from $71,600 to $317,580, with a median of $85,000. The remaining 13 deeds, nearly three-quarters of the total, did not disclose a sale price, which is common for deed data and limits any broader read on pricing trends for the period. Judged on raw count alone, 18 recorded transfers represents a full month of deed activity in Adams.

TOP SALES 4 Edmunds St. Unit M301 sold for $317,580 on July 28. Seller Jennifer B. Guss transferred the condominium unit to JPMorgan Chase Bank NA. The sale is documented across multiple recorded filings, including trustee and condominium trust releases tied to the Plunkett Hill Condominium Trust and the Elizabeth Ann Lluch Living Trust.

88 Friend St. sold for $117,000 on July 31. Seller Robin V. Finnegan transferred the property to Greylock Federal Credit Union.

6 Columbia Ter. sold for $85,000 on July 29. Sellers John J. Worth and Stephanie L. Worth transferred the property to Greylock Federal Credit Union.

9 Manners Ave. sold for $79,222 on July 27. Sellers Jonathan G. Crawford and Jonathan Crawford transferred the property to Figure Lending LLC and Dart Collateral Manager LLC.

49 Meadow St. sold for $71,600 on July 27. Sellers Kathryn M. Wilk and Corey P. Gillis transferred the property to Greylock Federal Credit Union.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Orchard Street saw the most activity of any street, with three properties changing hands: 89 Orchard St., 202 Orchard St. and 8 Orchard St., all with prices not disclosed. Clifford Lane also had multiple filings, with transfers recorded at 12 Clifford Lane and 2 Clifford Lane, the latter involving two related deed filings. By price tier among disclosed sales, three fell under $100,000 (Columbia Terrace, Manners Avenue and Meadow Street), one fell between $100,000 and $200,000 (Friend Street), and one exceeded $300,000 (Edmunds Street).

MARKET NOTES Financial institutions appeared as either buyer or seller in a majority of this period's deeds. Greylock Federal Credit Union was recorded as buyer in three transactions (88 Friend St., 6 Columbia Ter., 49 Meadow St.) and as seller in two others (19 Powers St., 202 Orchard St.). Adams Community Bank was recorded as seller in three filings (12 Clifford Lane, 34 Upton St., 8 Orchard St.). JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, Figure Lending LLC, Dart Collateral Manager LLC and Goodleap LLC also appear as grantees in individual filings. Several deeds reflect transfers within the same family or trust rather than sales to new owners: two filings at 2 Clifford Lane list Joseph R. Armata as seller and Barbara and Bernadette Armata as buyers, and multiple filings tied to 4 Edmunds St. Unit M301 and an unaddressed Adams parcel involve the Elizabeth Ann Lluch Living Trust. The dataset does not include property type, square footage or bedroom/bathroom counts, so no price-per-square-foot comparison is available this period.
