Lenox Home Prices Range From $476,000 To $1.15 Million This Period

LENOX -- Eleven property transfers recorded at the Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds between Sept. 25 and Oct. 24 show a top sale of $1,150,000, though eight of the 11 transactions have yet to show a recorded price.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded 11 property transfers in Lenox during the period, but only three carry a sale price so far: $476,000, $725,000 and $1,150,000. Based on those three, the price range runs from $476,000 to $1,150,000 with a median of $725,000. The remaining eight transfers show no price yet, which is typical for recently recorded deeds and usually means the figure has not yet reached the registry, not that a price was withheld. With eight of 11 entries still pending price data, it is too early to characterize the full month's price trend; the raw count of 11 transfers suggests a period of ordinary activity for the town.

TOP SALES 86 Pine Knoll Road sold for $1,150,000 on Sept. 30. The sellers were James B. Pollard and John S. Henderson, both acting as trustees, and the buyers were Eric and Rebecca Kinoshita. 15 Post Road sold for $725,000 on Oct. 1. Donna and David M. Lagarce sold the property to Joan E. Bancroft, acting as trustee of the Joan E. Bancroft Revocable Trust. 20 Sullivan Lane sold for $476,000 on Oct. 2. Kevin and Michele Streeter sold the property to Lee Bank. No bed, bath or square footage figures were available in the deed data for any sale this period.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Under $500,000: one sale, 20 Sullivan Lane at $476,000. $500,000 to $1 million: one sale, 15 Post Road at $725,000. Over $1 million: one sale, 86 Pine Knoll Road at $1,150,000. The remaining eight transfers, spanning Hawthorne Street, Rosebank Drive, Sherwood Drive, Plunkett Street, King William Road and Kemble Street, have no recorded price yet and cannot be placed into a price tier. Sherwood Drive is the only street with more than one recorded transfer this period: two separate deed entries at 12 Sherwood Drive, both naming Citizens Bank NA as seller and Lawrence A. Strauss and Francine Weinberg as buyers, each referencing a different mortgage book and page.

MARKET NOTES Two of the 11 transfers list financial institutions as sellers: Greylock Federal Credit Union (90 Hawthorne Street and 154 Plunkett Street) and Citizens Bank NA (both 12 Sherwood Drive entries). Neither of those transfers has a recorded price yet. One sale, 15 Post Road, involved a buyer taking title through a revocable trust. The 86 Pine Knoll Road sale involved sellers acting as trustees. One transfer, at 74 King William Road, lists only sellers (Sharon A. Cooper and Philip D. Cooper, both as trustees) with no buyer or price listed in the data provided. The 165 Kemble Street unit sale involved Canyon Ranch and LJD Realty LLC as sellers, with Laura J. Dinsmore as buyer; no price is available yet. With three-quarters of this period's transfers still missing price data, broader conclusions about per-square-foot values or property-type mix are not supported by the available figures.
