Egremont Records 11 Deeds in June but Only One Discloses a Sale Price

EGREMONT -- Of 11 deeds recorded in Egremont between June 12 and July 11, 2026, only one carried a publicly disclosed sale price — a $575,000 transfer on Prospect Lake Road — leaving the month's broader market activity largely opaque in the public record, with the remaining 10 instruments recording no consideration amount.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eleven deeds were filed with the Southern Berkshire Registry of Deeds during the period, but just one of the 11 transactions disclosed a consideration amount, making a meaningful price range or median statistically impossible to report. The single disclosed price was $575,000, recorded June 24. The remaining 10 deeds listed no consideration, a pattern consistent with the mix of instruments recorded this period: bank conveyances following apparent loan resolution, trust reorganizations, an intra-family holding transfer, and a municipal conveyance. By raw count, 11 instruments in 30 days represents a moderately active recording period for a small rural community, but the absence of price data prevents any assessment of market value trends.

TOP SALES The period's only disclosed transaction was the June 24 sale of 74 Prospect Lake Road for $575,000. Marc Bernstein and Sanda Bernstein, listed as trustees, conveyed the property to Matthew Black and Jessica Black in what the deed record reflects as an arm's-length transfer. No other transaction in the period disclosed a consideration amount.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Main Street recorded the most concentrated activity of any street, with three separate deed instruments filed June 16–25. Operative Bank conveyed 38 Main St. to Main Street LLC on June 25, with no price disclosed. Two instruments dated June 16 listed EMLAW Holding Co. LLC and Danielle Emlaw as sellers at 67 Main St. and at a parcel recorded as 0 Main St. — the latter address suggesting a separate, potentially unbuildable land parcel. A third instrument from the same date, listing EMLAW Holding Co. LLC as grantor and Lee Bank as grantee, carried no street address and disclosed no consideration, suggesting it may reflect a mortgage or lien instrument rather than a property transfer; it appears in the deed record as presented. No prices were disclosed in any Main Street transaction. Each of the remaining streets in the period — Phillips Road, Prospect Lake Road, Button Ball Lane, Jug End Road, Undermountain Road, Hillsdale Road, and a parcel identified as Egremont Town Road — recorded a single deed.

MARKET NOTES Four of the 11 recorded deeds listed financial institutions as the conveying party. Operative Bank sold 38 Main St. to Main Street LLC; Bank of Greene County conveyed 138 Jug End Road to a trust held by Peter D. Stanton; NBT Bank NA transferred 72 Undermountain Road to Patricia B. Maggio; and Greylock Federal Credit Union conveyed 100 Hillsdale Road to Owen D. and Barbara E. Shultis. No prices were disclosed in any of those four transfers. Their prevalence — roughly one in three recorded instruments this period — is a notable data pattern, though the public record does not indicate the underlying circumstances. A deed at 3 Button Ball Lane listed Bonnie S. Greenwood as both grantor and grantee, with the Howell Nominee Realty Trust conveying to the Bonnie S. Greenwood Revocable Living Trust Agreement — a trust restructuring that carries no market value. The town of Egremont also conveyed a parcel identified as 171 Egremont Town Road to Massachusetts Electric Co. and Verizon New England Inc., a government-to-utility transfer that likewise falls outside the arm's-length market. A deed at 35 Phillips Road, dated June 25, listed Shana M. Stalker and Kathleen M. McCormick, both as trustees, as sellers, but recorded no buyer and no price. Taken together, only one of the 11 deeds recorded this period reflects a conventional, arm's-length residential sale with a disclosed price.
