Disclosed Adams Home Prices Range From $100,000 to $340,000 This Month

ADAMS -- The Northern Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded 17 property transactions for Adams between June 19 and July 18, but only four disclosed a sale price, with the highest reaching $340,000 for a home on East Road.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded 17 deed transactions in Adams during the period, though sale prices were disclosed in only four of them. Among those four, prices ranged from $100,000 to $340,000, with a median of $175,000. The remaining 13 records include several mortgage discharges -- transactions in which a lender releases its interest after a loan is paid off -- along with family and estate transfers, which commonly carry no listed consideration. Taken purely by count, 17 recorded documents represents a notable volume of registry activity for Adams this period, though most of that volume reflects loan payoffs and intra-family transfers rather than open-market sales with disclosed prices.

TOP SALES 125 East Road sold for $340,000 on June 22. Individual Resources Inc. was the seller; Damian and Sarah Thompson were the buyers. 86 Lime Street sold for $215,000 on June 22. Sellers were Zachary T. Hillard and Megan E. Hillard; the buyer was Adams Community Bank. A property in Adams sold for $135,000 on June 24. Richview Properties LLC was the seller; Patricia A. Yagmin was the buyer. 1 Stanley Street sold for $100,000 on June 22. Sellers were Timothy J. Brown and Jacqueline A. Brown; the buyer was Greylock Federal Credit Union.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN East Road accounted for four of the period's 17 recorded documents: the $340,000 sale at 125 East Road, two additional filings tied to that same address (a certificate of clerk and a deed), and a mortgage discharge at 313 East Road involving Operative Bank and buyer Megan Bantle. Randall Street had three recorded documents: two transfers at 16 Randall Street involving David L. Chenail, Judith A. Locke and Liam X. Chenail, and a mortgage discharge at 34 Randall Street between Adams Community Bank and Jacqueline V. Mikutowicz. Columbia Street had two filings, at 56 and 60 Columbia Street, both connected to the Yagmin family, including one recorded as an estate transfer for Alan J. Yagmin. North Summer Street had two mortgage discharge filings at the same address, both involving Greylock Federal Credit Union and buyers Jes W. Witto and Tiffany M. Witto. Among the four disclosed-price sales, all fell under $500,000, ranging from $100,000 to $340,000.

MARKET NOTES Of the 17 recorded documents, five were mortgage discharges -- filings in which a lender, including Greylock Federal Credit Union, Mycom Federal Credit Union and Operative Bank, released its interest in a property after a loan was satisfied. These accounted for several of the period's undisclosed-price entries at Grove Street, Willow Street, North Summer Street, East Road and Randall Street. Two transactions involved a bank as the buyer rather than the seller -- Adams Community Bank acquiring 86 Lime Street and Greylock Federal Credit Union acquiring 1 Stanley Street -- consistent with foreclosure-related transfers. At least two street clusters, Randall Street and Columbia Street, involved transfers among parties sharing the same surname, which the registry classifies as family or estate transfers. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed data for any property.
