Hancock June Deed Data Thin as Only One of Five Sales Discloses a Price
HANCOCK -- Just one of five property transactions recorded in Hancock between June 6 and July 5, 2026, carried a disclosed sale price, limiting what the deed data reveals about current market conditions in the small Berkshire community.
- MARKET OVERVIEW
- Five deeds were recorded during the period, but only one transaction disclosed a consideration amount — $50,000 at 88 Potter Mountain Rd. With a single data point, no meaningful price range or median can be constructed. The low disclosure rate is the defining characteristic of this period's data and prevents a reliable assessment of market activity or pricing trends.
- TOP SALES
- The sole transaction with a disclosed price was 88 Potter Mountain Rd., which transferred for $50,000 on June 15. The seller was Francis Derby and Racheal Derby; the buyer of record is Navy Federal Credit Union. The nature of that transfer — a lender acquiring the property — warrants attention, though the data does not indicate the circumstances beyond what the deed reflects. The remaining four transactions did not disclose consideration amounts.
- NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
- The five recorded deeds are spread across distinct addresses and reference points in Hancock: Potter Mountain Road, Hancock Road (referenced by mortgage book), Hemlock Village (referenced by mortgage book), Corey Road, and one address-unspecified parcel associated with Vacation Village in the Berkshires. No street or neighborhood recorded more than one transaction during the period.
- MARKET NOTES
- Two of the five transfers show characteristics consistent with non-arm's-length transactions. The deed at 37 Corey Rd. transferred from Roberta Greller to the Living Trust of Roberta Greller — a pattern common in estate planning. The deed at an unspecified Hancock address transferred to Vacation Village in the Berkshires Owners Association Inc., which may reflect a homeowners association acquisition. The transaction at 2540 Hancock Rd. shows Greylock Federal Credit Union as seller and Trina and William Goodrich as buyers, a pattern consistent with a credit union-financed conveyance or REO transfer, though the data does not confirm the nature of the transaction. With only one disclosed price and several apparent non-market transfers, this dataset does not support conclusions about prevailing property values in Hancock.
