Egremont's Only Confirmed Sale Price In October Holds At $200,000

EGREMONT -- Ten property transfers were recorded in Egremont between Sept. 25 and Oct. 24, but only one carried a sale price in the registry data, limiting what can be said about the month's market values.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten sales were recorded during the period. Of those, only one, the Oct. 2 transfer of 23 North Undermountain Road, included a consideration amount: $200,000. That figure also serves as both the low and high end of the reported price range, and as the de facto median, since it is the only price available. With nine of 10 recorded sales still missing price data, which typically appears in the registry within about a week, the full picture of October's market values is not yet available. Based on raw transaction count, the 10 recorded deeds represent a normal volume of activity for a one-month period in a small town, though no comparison to prior months is available in this dataset.

TOP SALES The only sale with a confirmed price was 23 North Undermountain Road, which sold for $200,000 on Oct. 2. The seller was listed as Dennis Ehrlich and the buyer as Greylock Federal Credit Union. Bed, bath, and square footage figures were not available in the deed data. No other recorded transfer in this period included a sale price, so no additional transactions can be ranked by value at this time.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Hillsdale Road saw two transfers during the period: 110 Hillsdale Road, which sold Sept. 29 from NBT Bank NA and SBT Mortgage Service Corp. to Scott T. Race, and 216 Hillsdale Road, which sold the same day from Margot S. Trout and Leila Laurora to Margot Trout and Valentine F. Michalski. Both sales lack recorded prices. The remaining eight recorded transfers were spread across separate streets, including Blunt Road, Nicholson Road, Egremont Plain Road, Main Street, Mt. Washington Road, Hilltop Road, and one unaddressed parcel, with no other street showing more than one transaction. Price-tier grouping is limited by the data: only one sale, at $200,000, falls into a confirmed tier (under $500,000); the price tier of the remaining nine transfers cannot yet be determined.

MARKET NOTES Greylock Federal Credit Union appears on both sides of transactions this period: as buyer in the 23 North Undermountain Road deed and as seller in two others, 53 Main Street (to Terrence A. Moore) and 18 Hilltop Road (to Bruna Dearaujo and Andrew Personette). NBT Bank NA and SBT Mortgage Service Corp. appear as seller in the 110 Hillsdale Road transfer, and the Federal Housing Commissioner and Link Corp. appear as sellers in the 42 Mt. Washington Road transfer to Maria Martin. These patterns indicate several bank-originated transfers in the period, though the deed data does not specify whether these were foreclosure-related sales. One transfer, an unaddressed Egremont parcel, moved between related trust entities, from Jamie A. Mach and Jamie A. Mayer as trustees to Jamie A. Mach as trustee and the Mayer Family Realty Trust, consistent with a family trust restructuring. Separately, the Town of Egremont sold 171 Egremont Plain Road to Massachusetts Electric Co. on Sept. 30; no price was recorded. No square footage, bedroom, or bathroom data were available for any property in this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made.
