Every Alford Property Deed Recorded This Month Shows No Sale Price

ALFORD -- Five property deeds were recorded in Alford between July 24 and Aug. 22, but none of the transactions listed a sale price, and four of the five involved a bank or credit union as the seller.

MARKET OVERVIEW Five deeds were recorded during the period, all falling between Aug. 3 and Aug. 14. None of the five listed a consideration amount, so a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated for this period. Based on the raw transaction count alone, five recordings within a 12-day span represents the full scope of deed activity captured in this dataset; no comparison to prior months is available from the data provided.

TOP SALES Because no sale prices were disclosed for any of the five transactions, they cannot be ranked by price. Listed in order of recording date: - 40 East Rd, recorded Aug. 14. Price not disclosed. Seller: Metro Credit Union. Buyers: Russell A. Kaphan and Gail J. Kaphan. - 58 Riverside Farm Rd, recorded Aug. 10. Price not disclosed. Sellers: Merrill Lynch Credit Corp. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. Buyers: Kent Nous and Mary Anne Hayes. - 19 Green River Valley Rd, recorded Aug. 10. Price not disclosed. Seller: Lee Bank. Buyer: Wayne Schoonmaker. - An Alford property with no street address listed, recorded Aug. 5. Price not disclosed. Sellers: Thomas W. McClelland and Carrie Harper. Buyers: Thomas W. McClelland, trustee, and Carrie L. Harper, trustee. - 30 West Rd, recorded Aug. 3. Price not disclosed. Seller: Lee Bank. Buyer: Alfred S. Vandeusen Jr.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The five transfers occurred on five different roads: East Road, Riverside Farm Road, Green River Valley Road, West Road, and one property recorded without a specific street address. No street had more than one recorded sale during the period. Because no sale prices were disclosed, a price-tier breakdown is not possible for this dataset.

MARKET NOTES Four of the five sellers in this period were financial institutions: Metro Credit Union, Merrill Lynch Credit Corp. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. jointly, and Lee Bank in two separate transactions. One transfer, the Alford property recorded Aug. 5, moved from Thomas W. McClelland and Carrie Harper individually to Thomas W. McClelland and Carrie L. Harper as trustees, indicating a within-family trust transfer. No bedroom, bathroom, or square-footage data was available in the deed records for any of the five properties, and no sale price was disclosed for any transaction, so no price-per-square-foot or property-type comparisons can be made this period.
