New Marlborough Deed Filings Show Just One Disclosed Sale Price

NEW MARLBOROUGH -- Eight property transfers were recorded in New Marlborough between Aug. 14 and Sept. 12, but just one deed disclosed a sale price: a $750,000 transaction on Stratford Road, according to Southern Berkshire Registry of Deeds records.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded eight property transfers in New Marlborough during the four-week period. Only one, the Sept. 1 sale of 201 Stratford Rd. for $750,000, included a disclosed consideration amount. The other seven deeds, recorded between Aug. 17 and Sept. 8, list no sale price. Because seven of eight transactions carry no price, a full price range and a meaningful median cannot be calculated for the period beyond the single disclosed figure of $750,000. Based on count alone, eight recorded deeds in four weeks does not by itself indicate whether the period was more or less active than usual, since no comparable historical count was provided in the data.

TOP SALES

201 Stratford Rd. sold for $750,000 on Sept. 1, the only disclosed price of the period. Sellers Homi K. Bhabha and Jacqueline M. Bhabha, as trustees, transferred the property to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Morgan Stanley Private Bank NA.

The remaining transactions carried no disclosed price. At 97 Canaan Southfield Rd., which sold Sept. 8, seller Cameron Martin conveyed to Sebastian Birritteri, as trustee, and New Marlborough Lenders Trust. At 651 Hayes Hill Rd., also sold Sept. 8, sellers were Joseph Figueiredo and Linda Stewart; no buyer was listed in the data provided. At 1277 Hartsville Mill River Rd., sold Sept. 3, seller New Marlborough Town Conservation conveyed to Elan Merkel and Lydia Merkel. At 239 Mill River Southfield Rd., sold Aug. 28, seller Lee Bank conveyed to Matthew Kelly and Barbara Kelly.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No two sales in the period shared the same street name, so no street-level cluster emerged. By price tier: one sale, 201 Stratford Rd., fell above $500,000 at $750,000. The remaining seven sales, spanning Hayes Hill Road, Canaan Southfield Road, Hartsville Mill River Road, an address listed only as New Marlborough, Mill River Southfield Road, Brewer Branch Road and County Road, carried no disclosed price and could not be sorted into a price tier.

MARKET NOTES

Two of the eight transactions listed a bank or credit union as seller: Lee Bank at 239 Mill River Southfield Rd. and UMassFive College Federal Credit Union at 108 County Rd., where the buyers were listed as W. Hilary Simons and Alexandra Houston. The 201 Stratford Rd. sale also involved lender-related entities, with the property passing from individual trustees to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Morgan Stanley Private Bank NA. At 395 Brewer Branch Rd., sold Aug. 19, the buyer was Massachusetts Electric Co. rather than an individual, with seller Zachary F. Gagnon. At 1277 Hartsville Mill River Rd., the seller was New Marlborough Town Conservation. No beds, baths or square footage figures were available in the deed data, and property types (single-family, condominium or multi-family) could not be determined from the records provided.
