Egremont Sees Two Confirmed Sale Prices as Most September Deeds Await Data

EGREMONT -- Eleven properties recorded transfers in Egremont between Aug. 28 and Sept. 26, but only two of those deeds carry a sale price so far, leaving most of the month's market activity still to be priced in registry records.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eleven property transfers were recorded in Egremont during the period, but only two, 4 Bott Hill Road at $70,000 and 42 Mount Washington Road at $379,000, list a sale price so far. The remaining nine deeds show no consideration amount yet; prices for those typically post to the registry within about a week of recording. With just two of 11 sales priced, the data is too thin to calculate a meaningful median or characterize the month's price trend. Based on raw count alone, 11 recorded transfers over a four-week span represents a moderate amount of deed activity, though the data provided does not offer a prior-period baseline for comparison.

TOP SALES 42 Mount Washington Road sold for $379,000 on Sept. 8. The deed lists Sven Martin, as personal representative, and the estate of Maria Martin as sellers, with Karl Christopher Bodnar as buyer. 4 Bott Hill Road sold for $70,000 on Sept. 2. Mountain Stream LLC was the seller; Finbarr and Patricia O'Donovan were the buyers. The other nine transfers recorded in the period, at 190 Egremont Plain Road, 307 Egremont Plain Road, 5 Taconic Lane, 7 Hickory Hill Road, 244 Hillsdale Road, 10 Baldwin Hill Road, 51 Creamery Road, an unaddressed Egremont parcel, and a second deed at 42 Mount Washington Road, have no recorded price yet.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Mount Washington Road had two deeds recorded the same day, Sept. 8: one transferring the property within the Martin family, from Lawrence D. Martin and Maria Martin, and a separate deed, from Sven Martin as personal representative and the estate of Maria Martin, conveying the property to Bodnar for $379,000. Egremont Plain Road also had two transfers, at Nos. 190 (Sept. 8) and 307 (Sept. 3), neither with a price recorded yet. The remaining seven sales are spread across seven different streets, Hickory Hill Road, Taconic Lane, Bott Hill Road, Hillsdale Road, Baldwin Hill Road, Creamery Road, and an address-less Egremont parcel, with no other street repeated.

MARKET NOTES Two of the 11 transfers moved property from an individual owner into that same person's revocable trust rather than to a new buyer: Guillaume Touton conveyed 244 Hillsdale Road to the Guillaume Touton Revocable Trust, and Bonnie Sue Daniels conveyed 51 Creamery Road to a trust in her own name. Two other deeds involved estates: 7 Hickory Hill Road came from the estate of Douglas J. Lint and Susan C. Lint, and one of the two Mount Washington Road deeds came from the estate of Maria Martin. One sale, 307 Egremont Plain Road, listed Westfield Bank and Westfield Savings Bank as sellers, with Rosalind Liston Newman and Philip Newman as buyers. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available for any property in this period.
