Just One of Eight Pittsfield Property Deeds Discloses a Sale Price

PITTSFIELD -- Eight property deeds were recorded in Pittsfield between June 26 and July 25, but only one included a disclosed sale price, limiting what can be reported about the month's home values.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eight deeds were recorded during the period, all dated June 26 according to the Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds. Of those eight, only one — the transfer of 53 Daniels Ave — included a disclosed consideration amount: $15,856. Because that is the only price on record, the reported price range and median for the period are both $15,856, a figure drawn from a single transaction rather than a broad sample. With eight deeds recorded and just one priced sale, the period was modest by raw count, and the near-total absence of disclosed prices means the data cannot support a broader read on where Pittsfield home values stood this month.

TOP SALES 53 Daniels Ave sold for $15,856 on June 26, deeded from Tameka McDaniel Vasquez to Urban Development. It is the only recorded transaction this period with a disclosed sale price. 76 Chickering St, tied to a mortgage recorded in Book 3567, Page 54, transferred from TD Bank NA to William C. Hersey and Susan H. Hersey; price not disclosed. 714 Barker Rd, under a deed recorded in Book 2502, Page 187, transferred from Donna L. Smith to the Massachusetts Commonwealth's Department of Environmental Protection; price not disclosed. A Pittsfield property with no street address listed in the deed record transferred from Adams Community Bank to Jonathan Pierce; price not disclosed. 46 Berkley St, under a fee simple deed recorded in Book 7681, Page 206, transferred from Sunnova TE Management LLC to Alexis Brophy and Alexis R. Brophy; price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No two deeds recorded this period share a street name, so no street-level clustering is evident in the data. Price-tier grouping is similarly limited: only the Daniels Avenue sale carries a disclosed price, placing it in the under-$500,000 tier, while the remaining seven properties — on Chickering Street, Ann Drive, Berkley Street, Barker Road, Crane Avenue, Pecks Road and one unaddressed Pittsfield parcel — cannot be sorted by price because no consideration amount was recorded.

MARKET NOTES Seven of the eight deeds recorded this period lack a disclosed sale price, a pattern consistent with the mix of transaction types on record rather than typical arm's-length home sales. Two deeds involved banks as sellers: TD Bank NA on Chickering Street, tied to a recorded mortgage, and Adams Community Bank on the unaddressed parcel. One deed involved a limited liability company, Sunnova TE Management LLC, as seller on Berkley Street. One deed sent a Barker Road property from an individual seller, Donna L. Smith, to a state agency, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. One deed on Ann Drive involved trustees, Phyllis B. Sandrew and Stuart H. Sandrew, as sellers, with no buyer of record listed. Two additional deeds, on Crane Avenue and Pecks Road, listed sellers — Bradley M. Johnson and Shanell Johnson, and Peggy L. McIntyre, respectively — without a buyer of record or a disclosed price. Beds, baths and square footage are not available from deed records for any of the eight transactions, and no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made this period.
