Lenox July Sales Split Between Under-$250,000 Deals and One $610,740 Property

LENOX -- Nine property deeds were recorded in Lenox between July 3 and Aug. 1, with disclosed sale prices ranging from $100,000 to $610,740 and a median of $239,000. Only four of the nine transactions included a sale price in the deed record.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The Middlesex Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded nine property transfers in Lenox during the period, a count that on its own suggests a period of ordinary activity rather than an unusually quiet or busy one. Of those nine, four deeds disclosed a sale price, ranging from $100,000 to $610,740, with a median of $239,000. The remaining five transactions were recorded without a stated consideration amount, which is common for certain deed types and does not necessarily indicate the properties changed hands for no value. Given that more than half the month's transfers carried no disclosed price, the data offers only a partial view of actual market values for the period.

TOP SALES

The month's highest-value transaction was 90 Pittsfield Rd, which sold for $610,740 on July 7. Sumer LLC was the seller and Lee Bank the buyer. A property recorded in Lenox without a specific street address sold for $328,000 on July 7; the sellers were listed as Lynn Pandell and the estate of Leo W. Mahoney, and the buyer was Elaine Dowgos. A condominium unit at 20 Wexford Ct, Building 5, Unit 6, within Birchwood Village Townhouses, sold for $150,000 on July 6; the sellers were Birchwood Village Townhouses and Wendy P. Guastaferro, and the buyer was Adams Community Bank. And 390 Undermountain Rd sold for $100,000 on July 3, with Homefarm at Undermountain Inc. as seller and Lee Bank as buyer. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available from the deed records for any of these transactions.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street in the dataset had more than one address-specific sale, though two deeds involved the same Pittsfield Road property complex: 90 Pittsfield Rd sold for $610,740, and a related filing for "90 Pittsfield Rd Rents" at the same location was recorded the same day without a disclosed price; both had Sumer LLC-affiliated sellers and Lee Bank as buyer. By price tier among the four disclosed sales, two fell under $250,000 (390 Undermountain Rd at $100,000 and the Wexford Court condo unit at $150,000), one fell between $250,000 and $500,000 (the undisclosed-address sale at $328,000), and one exceeded $500,000 (90 Pittsfield Rd at $610,740). The remaining five properties -- 174 Housatonic St, 36 Dunmore Ct, 90 Pittsfield Rd Rents, 54 Rolling Hills and 31 St Anns Ave -- were recorded with no sale price disclosed.

MARKET NOTES

Lee Bank was recorded as the buyer in three of the nine transactions: 90 Pittsfield Rd, 90 Pittsfield Rd Rents and 390 Undermountain Rd. Adams Community Bank was the buyer in a fourth, the Birchwood Village Townhouses condo unit. One transaction involved an estate as seller (the estate of Leo W. Mahoney, on the $328,000 sale), and one deed, at 31 St Anns Ave, was recorded between Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and William Raveis Mortgage LLC as sellers and James and Kristen McManus as buyers, tied to a mortgage referenced in Book 6517, Page 220. The dataset includes at least one condominium unit (Birchwood Village Townhouses); property types for the remaining addresses were not specified in the deed records. Square footage and price-per-square-foot figures were not available for any transaction, so no outliers on that basis can be identified.
