Clarksburg Home Prices Span $10,000 to $348,000 Amid Incomplete Registry Data

CLARKSBURG -- Eighteen property transfers were recorded in Clarksburg between Sept. 25 and Oct. 24, but only five carried a sale price in registry data so far, with figures ranging from $10,000 to $348,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Northern Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded 18 transactions involving Clarksburg properties during the period. Of those, five included a sale price, ranging from $10,000 to $348,000, with a median of $50,000 among the priced sales. The remaining 13 transactions had no price yet in the data, which is common; prices typically appear in registry records about a week after recording and a missing figure does not mean a price was withheld. Based on the raw count of 18 recorded deeds, the period looks active compared to a bare handful of transactions, though the incomplete pricing makes it difficult to characterize overall market direction.

TOP SALES The highest-priced recorded sale was 52 Belmar Drive, which sold for $348,000 on Oct. 14. The sellers were listed as Erin E. Booth and Dawn M. Booth; no buyer was listed in the deed data. At 457 North Eagle Street, Gregory and Darlene Gundler bought the property for $315,000 on Sept. 29 from Mark and Melissa Denault. At 220 Henderson Road, Greylock Federal Credit Union acquired the property for $50,000 on Oct. 19 from Chance and Denise Lancaster. At 370 Cross Road, Adams Community Bank acquired the property for $50,000 on Oct. 1 from Shaun M. Lescarbeau. At 573 River Road, Lyndsey Degrenier bought the property for $10,000 on Oct. 20 from Devon C. Tosches.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN River Road saw the most deed activity of any street, with three recorded transactions: 956 River Road, 573 River Road and 155 River Road. Cross Road also had three recorded transactions, including two separate deeds tied to the same address, 370 Cross Road, recorded the same day. North Eagle Street likewise had three recorded transactions tied to the 457 North Eagle Street address. Middle Road had two recorded transactions, at 77 Middle Road and 1100 Middle Road. Among the five sales with recorded prices, all fell under $350,000, with no sales above that threshold reported in the data for this period.

MARKET NOTES Financial institutions appeared as either buyer or seller in at least nine of the 18 recorded transactions, including Adams Community Bank, Greylock Federal Credit Union, and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc./Rocket Mortgage LLC. Several of these, such as the transfers at 201 Pine Avenue, 60 Cross Road, 77 Middle Road and 457 North Eagle Street, list a bank as the seller, a pattern typically associated with bank-owned or foreclosure-related property. A handful of transfers also appear to involve family members: at 70 Brooks Heights, Tobe A. Cote transferred the property to himself and Cynthia S. Cote; at 375 East Road, William T. and Martha Beattie transferred the property to Aaron E. and Stefan R. Beattie; and at 1100 Middle Road, the deed lists Lucille M. Gageant alongside Carl J. Gageant's estate. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed records for any property, and no condominium or multi-family designations were specified apart from a unit number listed at 65 Carson Avenue. Because 13 of the 18 transactions still lack a recorded price, the available pricing data represents a minority of the period's activity and should be read with that limitation in mind.
