Dalton Sales Prices Range From $95,625 To $785,316 Last Month

DALTON -- Fourteen properties changed hands in Dalton between Sept. 25 and Sept. 29, according to deeds recorded at the Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds, but sale prices were available for only three of those transactions as of this report. The recorded prices ranged from $95,625 to $785,316.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 14 property transfers in Dalton during the period, but only three carried a sale price at the time of this report: $785,316, $200,000 and $95,625. Based on those three figures, the median sale price was $200,000. The remaining 11 transactions show "price not yet available," which is typical for recently recorded deeds and does not necessarily indicate a non-arm's-length transfer. Based on the raw count alone, 14 recorded transfers is a notable volume of activity for Dalton in a single reporting period.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was 65 Johnson Rd, which sold for $785,316 on Sept. 29. The sellers were listed as Amanda Hill and Justin Hill, and the buyer was Peoplesbank.

The second-highest recorded sale was 25 Judith Dr, which sold for $200,000 on Sept. 25. The sellers were listed as Ryan C. Williams and Abiah Williams; no buyer was listed in the deed data.

The third recorded sale was 45 Washington Mountain Rd, which sold for $95,625 on Sept. 25. The sellers were listed as Alison G. LaRocca and Roger LaRocca III, and the buyer was Greylock Federal Credit Union.

No other transactions in this period had a recorded sale price. Among those pending price data are transfers at 18 Elmore Dr, 408 Washington Mountain Rd, 569 Main St, 79 Orchard Rd, 66 Dalton Division Rd (two separate instruments), 45 Washington Mt Rd, 62 Greenridge Dr, 18 Elaine Ave, 59 Carson Ave and 64 Hazelwood Ct.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Washington Mountain Road saw the most activity, with three recorded transactions across two addresses: 408 Washington Mountain Rd, 45 Washington Mountain Rd and 45 Washington Mt Rd. The latter two addresses appear to reference the same property, each tied to a separate recorded instrument. Dalton Division Road also saw two recorded instruments at the same address, 66 Dalton Division Rd, both listing Urban Development/Networks Corp Atty as seller and Ana Palacios and Tomasa Barahona as buyers. The remaining addresses, Elmore Drive, Main Street, Orchard Road, Judith Drive, Greenridge Drive, Elaine Avenue, Carson Avenue and Hazelwood Court, each recorded a single transaction during the period. Of the three sales with recorded prices, one fell under $100,000, one was at $200,000 and one exceeded $750,000, spanning the full range of this period's pricing data.

MARKET NOTES

Several transactions in this period list a bank or credit union as either the buyer or the seller: Peoplesbank as buyer at 65 Johnson Rd; Greylock Federal Credit Union as seller at 408 Washington Mountain Rd, 569 Main St and 79 Orchard Rd, and as buyer at 45 Washington Mountain Rd; Adams Community Bank as seller at 18 Elaine Ave and 59 Carson Ave; and Cross River Bank as seller at 64 Hazelwood Ct. One transaction, 45 Washington Mt Rd, lists the Town of Dalton as the buyer, with Scott L. Garland and Glenda L. Garland as sellers. One deed, 18 Elmore Dr, lists sellers Ronald A. Chapman Tr. and Therese M. Chapman Tr., identified as trustees, with no buyer listed in the available data. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed records for any property in this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made.
