Clarksburg Property Filings Show Wide Price Range, Many Linked to Mortgages

CLARKSBURG -- Thirteen instruments recorded at the Northern Berkshire Registry of Deeds for Clarksburg properties between June 12 and July 11, 2026, carry a stated consideration range of $25,000 to $720,000, though a significant share of those filings appear to be mortgage recordings rather than arm's-length property sales, limiting the market picture for the period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Five of the 13 recorded instruments carry disclosed consideration amounts, ranging from $25,000 to $720,000 with a dataset median of $181,000. The remaining eight entries list no consideration. The period's volume covers what appear to be seven or eight distinct properties, typical of a small rural municipality, but interpreting price trends is constrained by the mix of document types: several entries name banks and mortgage servicers as grantees, consistent with mortgage originations, and multiple entries reference prior mortgage-book records by book and page number. True arm's-length sales cannot be cleanly isolated from financing documents in this dataset without additional instrument detail.

TOP SALES The highest consideration figure in the dataset, $720,000, is tied to 191 Hudson Brook Lane, where a July 1 filing lists Mitchell J. and Susan J. Bresett as grantors and CrossCountry Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as grantees — a transaction structure consistent with a mortgage recording rather than a direct property sale. Two companion instruments were also filed for that address on July 1: one listing Eugene and Donna Messenger as grantors with no disclosed buyer or price, and a second referencing Deed Book 1922 Page 393. Taken together, the three filings suggest the Messengers conveyed the property and the Bresetts subsequently financed a purchase, though no sale price is disclosed on any of the entries.

At 51 Fieldwood Drive, a $347,296 consideration is recorded July 2 with United Lending Team Inc. and MERS as grantees. A companion entry from June 15 shows MERS and Guild Mortgage Co. LLC conveying the same address back to Michael Alan Zieba, indicating a refinancing transaction rather than a new acquisition.

The $181,000 consideration at 171 Pine Avenue, filed June 30 with MERS and COM LLC as grantees and Theresa L. and Eric J. Denette as grantors, reflects the same mortgage-recording structure.

At 695 Middle Road, George R. Beckwith conveyed the property to Adams Community Bank on June 24 for a stated $50,000 — a transfer to a financial institution at a figure well below the period's other disclosed amounts. The instrument does not specify the nature of the transaction.

The lowest disclosed figure, $25,000 at 475 West Road, was recorded June 24 with Leader Bank NA and MERS as grantees, also consistent with a mortgage instrument.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Middle Road produced two entries for distinct properties: 77 Middle Road, where Lisa A. McCosh transferred to Patrick M. Kelly and Kevin Kelly on July 3 with no price disclosed, and 695 Middle Road, conveyed to Adams Community Bank for $50,000. Hudson Brook Lane and West Road each generated three filings associated with a single property, covering related deed and financing activity. Fieldwood Drive contributed two entries reflecting a single refinancing. River Road produced one filing, with Kiavi Funding Inc. conveying 738 River Road to Ellies Holdings LLC on June 22 at no disclosed price. Pine Avenue contributed one filing. One instrument recorded June 25 carried no street address.

MARKET NOTES Because several consideration amounts are associated with lender-grantee instruments, they likely represent loan amounts rather than purchase prices; the $720,000, $347,296, $181,000, and $25,000 figures should not be read as sale prices without confirmation from the underlying deeds of record. The 695 Middle Road transfer to Adams Community Bank at $50,000 is the period's clearest property conveyance with a disclosed figure, though below typical residential market values in the region; the instrument does not indicate the circumstances. One no-address entry — from Aubin Paula J. and Demarsico Paula A. to Demarsico Scott A. — shares a surname between one grantor and the grantee, a pattern common in intra-family transfers; the data does not confirm that characterization. The River Road transaction, from an investment lender to a limited liability company with no price disclosed, may reflect a post-financing conveyance; that too is not confirmed by the instrument alone.
