Alford's Only Disclosed Sale Price Sets $792,000 Benchmark for the Month

ALFORD -- Five property deeds were recorded in Alford between June 19 and July 18, most without a disclosed sale price, leaving the month's only confirmed transaction, a $792,000 sale on East Road, as the sole benchmark for market activity.

MARKET OVERVIEW Five sales were recorded in Alford during the period. Only one included a disclosed consideration amount: $792,000 for 137 East Road, recorded July 10. That single disclosure sets the reported price range and median at $792,000 to $792,000. With price data available for just one of five transactions, the recorded count alone does not support a broader read on whether the period was active or quiet.

TOP SALES 137 East Road sold for $792,000 on July 10. The sellers were listed as Christopher K. Clemans and Marya Spence; the buyers were listed as Ben F. Bunyard, trustee, and Frederick David Runyan, trustee. It is the only transaction in the period with a disclosed price. The remaining four sales carried no disclosed consideration amount. 138 East Road sold the same day, July 10, with sellers listed as Marya Spence and Christopher K. Clemans -- price not disclosed. 30 West Road sold July 15, seller Stacey Vandeusen -- price not disclosed. 121 Green River Road sold June 26, sellers Laura Bailyn and Nicholas Diamand, buyers Mark W. Holmes and Mark W. Holmes Builder -- price not disclosed. 0 Crooked Hill Road sold July 10, seller Mahican Meadow Trio LLC, buyer Alford Town Clerk -- price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN East Road accounted for two of the five recorded sales, both dated July 10 -- 137 East Road and 138 East Road. Both list the same two sellers, Christopher K. Clemans and Marya Spence, though only one of the two transactions included a disclosed price. The remaining three sales were each on a different street: West Road, Green River Road and Crooked Hill Road. With price data available for only one property, a breakdown by price tier is not meaningful for this period.

MARKET NOTES Four of the five deeds recorded in Alford during the period carried no disclosed sale price, consistent with normal deed-recording practice but limiting what can be reported about overall price movement. The one disclosed transaction, 137 East Road, involved buyers listed as trustees, indicating a trust-held purchase. The 0 Crooked Hill Road transfer listed the buyer as the Alford Town Clerk, a municipal recipient rather than a private buyer. Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures were not available in the deed data and are omitted. No price-per-square-foot or property-type comparisons can be made without that data.
