Cheshire Sale Prices Span $30,000 To $200,000 As Median Holds At $105,000

CHESHIRE -- Eighteen deeds were recorded in Cheshire between June 26 and July 25, but only six disclosed a sale price, with figures ranging from $30,000 to $200,000 and a median of $105,000 among those six.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Northern Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded 18 property transfers in Cheshire during the period. Of those, six included a disclosed consideration amount, ranging from $30,000 to $200,000, with a median sale price of $105,000. The remaining 12 transfers did not disclose a price, which is common for deed records involving mortgage discharges, bank-owned property transfers, and family or trust transfers. A raw count of 18 recorded transfers in a single month is a notable volume of activity for a town of Cheshire's size, though the low rate of price disclosure limits how much can be concluded about overall market pricing.

TOP SALES 31 Daniels Terrace sold for $200,000 on June 29, the highest disclosed price of the period. Todd and Aimee Casey were the sellers, and Greylock Federal Credit Union was the buyer. 23 Wells Road sold for $125,000 on July 9; Michael J. Bostwick was the seller, and Adams Community Bank was the buyer. 114 Lakeshore Drive sold for $110,000 on July 9; Justin J. Bartolomeo and Teresa A. Kenny were the sellers, and Adams Community Bank was the buyer. 127 Depot Street sold for $100,000 on July 7; Jacqueline M. Dechaine was the seller, and TD Bank NA was the buyer. Two properties tied at $30,000: 547 North State Road sold July 7, with Patti A. Messina as seller and Greylock Federal Credit Union as buyer, and 86 Windsor Road sold June 30, with Michelle A. and Matthew Carmell as sellers and Paul D. and Roberta B. Mansen, as trustees, as buyers.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Daniels Terrace had two recorded transactions: a mortgage discharge at 119 Daniels Terrace with no price disclosed, and the period's top sale at 31 Daniels Terrace for $200,000. Lake Shore Drive also had two entries: 114 Lakeshore Drive sold for $110,000, while 223 Lake Shore Drive, tied to a mortgage discharge, transferred to the Lennek Turner Family Revocable Trust with no price disclosed. Wells Road had two recorded entries at the same address, 23 Wells Road: the $125,000 sale and a separate deed-book reference with no price listed. Windsor Road similarly had two entries at 86 Windsor Road: the $30,000 sale and a related deed reference with no price disclosed. North Street had two entries at 311 North Street, both transfers within the Gwozdz family with no price disclosed. Among disclosed prices, two sales fell under $50,000, three fell between $50,000 and $150,000, and one exceeded $150,000. The remaining recorded transfers -- at Fisher Hill Road, West Mountain Road, Railroad Street, East Main Street, Sand Mill Road, and one address listed only as "Cheshire, MA" -- did not disclose a price.

MARKET NOTES Five of the six sales with a disclosed price listed a bank or credit union as the buyer: Adams Community Bank (23 Wells Road and 114 Lakeshore Drive), TD Bank NA (127 Depot Street), and Greylock Federal Credit Union (547 North State Road and 31 Daniels Terrace). Separately, Adams Community Bank appeared as the seller in three other recorded transfers with no price disclosed -- 93 East Main Street, 1031 Sand Mill Road, and one unaddressed Cheshire parcel -- indicating bank-held property changing hands during the period. At least three recorded transfers were within the same family or into a family trust with no price disclosed: 294 Railroad Street (Giorgi to Giorgi), 311 North Street (Gwozdz to Gwozdz, recorded twice), and 223 Lake Shore Drive (into the Lennek Turner Family Revocable Trust). No bedroom, bathroom, or square-footage figures were available from deed records for any property in this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons could be calculated, and property type (single-family, condo, or multi-family) could not be determined from the data.
