Lenox June Deeds Show Wide Price Gap as Disclosed Sales Span $970,000
LENOX -- A recorded deed at 760 East St. topped the June transfer period at $1,162,500, leading a month in which only six of 14 recorded instruments carried disclosed consideration amounts. The spread between the lowest and highest disclosed prices exceeded $970,000, underscoring the breadth of property types and transaction structures captured in the registry data.
MARKET OVERVIEW Fourteen instruments were recorded with the Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds between May 31 and June 29, 2026, but only six carried disclosed sale prices. That figure limits the statistical picture: among those six, prices ranged from $192,500 to $1,162,500, with a median of $297,681. The remaining eight transfers — including two municipal acquisitions, at least two instruments where financial institutions appear as grantees, a commercial lending instrument, and several transfers involving trusts or condominium entities — did not include disclosed consideration. Any market-level conclusions should be drawn carefully given that more than half the recorded instruments lacked prices.
TOP SALES The highest disclosed price in the period was $1,162,500 for 760 East St., recorded June 2, with MELEK LLC as seller; the grantees listed are Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Loan Funder LLC. At 46 Housatonic St., Unit 2B (Lenox Court), Elisabeth S. Chapman purchased the condominium unit from B Lenox Court and Catherine R. May for $600,000, recorded June 2. The deed at 12 Crystal St. was recorded at $356,250 on June 3, with Goldendoor LLC as seller; the grantees are Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Oaktree Funding Corp. The transfer at 49 Crystal St. recorded June 2 carried a consideration of $239,112, with Luke J. and Amber Archey as sellers and PennyMac Loan Services LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as grantees.
NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Crystal Street produced two recorded instruments — 12 Crystal St. at $356,250 and 49 Crystal St. at $239,112 — making it the only street with multiple disclosed-price transfers in the period. Housatonic Street also had two entries: the $600,000 condo sale at 46 Housatonic St. Unit 2B and a price-not-disclosed transfer at 57 Housatonic St. involving Wells Fargo Bank NA as seller. Pittsfield Road accounted for three entries, all at 260 Pittsfield Rd. or its Lennox Heights condominium units, with one disclosed price of $192,500 for Unit A2. Among the four disclosed-price transfers that appear to be straightforward property conveyances or purchases, two fell under $300,000, one fell in the $500,000–$700,000 range, and one exceeded $1 million.
MARKET NOTES Several instruments in this period list mortgage lenders or financial intermediaries — including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., Oaktree Funding Corp., PennyMac Loan Services LLC, and Loan Funder LLC — as grantees rather than individual or entity property buyers; these appear to be mortgage-related recordings rather than traditional property-sale conveyances, and the consideration amounts attached to them may reflect loan values rather than purchase prices. Two transfers list Lenox Town as grantee (260 Pittsfield Rd. and an unaddressed parcel), both without disclosed consideration, consistent with municipal acquisition patterns. The deed for 165 and 227 Kemble St. names CR Resorts LLC as grantor and VICI LendCo LLC as grantee, suggesting a commercial financing instrument rather than a residential sale. Bed, bath, and square-footage data are not available from deed records and are omitted throughout.
