No Sale Prices Disclosed Across Ten Peru Property Filings Last Month

PERU -- Ten property-related documents were recorded at the Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds for Peru between Aug. 7 and Sept. 5, but none listed a disclosed sale price, and several reflect mortgage discharges, a family transfer and a municipal acquisition rather than conventional home purchases.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten transactions were recorded in Peru during the period. None of the ten included a disclosed consideration amount, so no price range or median sale price can be calculated for this month. Because pricing data is absent across the entire dataset, the raw count of ten recorded documents does not by itself indicate whether buying and selling activity was more or less active than usual; it reflects registry filings, not necessarily arm's-length sales.

TOP SALES No sale prices were disclosed for any of the ten transactions recorded this period, so transactions cannot be ranked by price. The recorded transfers, in order of date, were: - 4 David Drive, recorded Aug. 17: seller Lewis John T Jr, buyer Peru Town. Price not disclosed. - 4 David Drive, recorded Aug. 14: seller Adams Community Bank, buyer Lewis John T Jr. Price not disclosed. - 61 East Main Road, recorded Aug. 18: seller Solarz Paul J Jr, buyers Solarz Paul J Jr and Brunt Jennifer. Price not disclosed. - 2 Greylock Circle, recorded Aug. 20 (two separate filings, same parties): seller Pittsfield Cooperative Bank, buyers Dolle Wallace E and Dolle Jennifer A. Price not disclosed. - 145 East Windsor Road, recorded Aug. 26: seller Citizens Bank NA, buyers McAvoy Karlene E and McAvoy James A. Price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Three addresses had more than one filing recorded during the period. 2 Greylock Circle had two separate filings recorded the same day, Aug. 20, both from Pittsfield Cooperative Bank to Wallace E. and Jennifer A. Dolle. 4 David Drive had two filings four days apart: an Aug. 14 filing from Adams Community Bank to John T. Lewis Jr., followed by an Aug. 17 transfer from Lewis to the Town of Peru. 61 East Main Street/Road had two filings recorded Aug. 18, one a deed involving Paul J. Solarz Sr. and Paul J. Solarz Jr. as sellers, the other transferring the property from Paul J. Solarz Jr. to himself and Jennifer Brunt. The remaining filings, at 51 Middlefield Road and 8 Brookside Road, were each single, isolated recordings. With no sale prices disclosed anywhere in the dataset, transactions cannot be grouped into price tiers this period.

MARKET NOTES Several of the month's filings carry hallmarks of mortgage discharges rather than property sales: the 145 East Windsor Road, 51 Middlefield Road, 2 Greylock Circle and 4 David Drive filings all list banks or credit unions (Citizens Bank NA, Greylock Federal Credit Union, Pittsfield Cooperative Bank and Adams Community Bank) as sellers, with the corresponding property owners listed as buyers. One filing, at 4 David Drive, recorded a transfer from a private owner, John T. Lewis Jr., to the Town of Peru. Another, at 61 East Main Road, recorded a transfer in which Paul J. Solarz Jr. remained on title alongside a new name, Jennifer Brunt. A filing at 8 Brookside Road, recorded Aug. 14, lists "Family Court" among the named parties and no buyer, consistent with a legal petition rather than a completed property sale. No beds, baths, square footage or property type data were available in the deed records for any of the ten filings, so no price-per-square-foot or property-type comparisons can be made this period.
