North Adams August Property Sales Cluster in $215,000 to $280,000 Range

NORTH ADAMS -- Thirteen property deeds were recorded in North Adams between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19, but sale prices have posted for only three of them so far, leaving most of the period's transactions without dollar figures in the public record.

MARKET OVERVIEW Of the 13 recorded deeds, three carry a sale price: a range of $215,271 to $280,000, with a median of $277,500. The other 10 show price not yet available, which typically means the figure has not yet reached the registry rather than any indication the parties withheld it. Notably, every deed in this batch was dated either Aug. 21 or Aug. 24; no transfers were recorded in the weeks between Aug. 25 and Sept. 19. By count alone, 13 transfers is a moderate volume for a roughly four-week window, though the concentration on two recording dates makes it hard to read the pace as steady across the full period.

TOP SALES 45 Woodlawn Ave. sold for $280,000 on Aug. 21, the highest recorded price of the period. Eric James Spath sold the property to Debra A. Whiting. A North Adams property, whose street address was not listed in the deed record, sold for $277,500 on Aug. 21. The sellers were JAM Properties Realty Trust and Amanda K. Banks, trustee. The buyers were Loan Store Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. 30 Dover St. sold for $215,271 on Aug. 24. The seller was Professional Valve Adding LLC. No other sales in this period have a recorded price. The remaining 10 transfers are listed by street below.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street had more than one recorded transfer in this period, so sales are grouped by price tier instead. Under $250,000: 30 Dover St. ($215,271). Between $250,000 and $300,000: 45 Woodlawn Ave. ($280,000) and the unaddressed North Adams property ($277,500).

MARKET NOTES Seven of the 13 recorded deeds list a mortgage lender, loan servicer or mortgage-registration entity, including Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, Newrez LLC, Rocket Mortgage LLC, Greylock Federal Credit Union, Guild Mortgage Co., MountainOne Bank, CMG Mortgage Inc., Loan Store Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., as either seller or buyer. Each of those deed entries also references a mortgage book and page number, distinguishing them from standard owner-to-owner sales.

McCarron appears as both a seller and a buyer, alongside seller Marie B. McCarron and buyer Kaitlyn M. Carrigan, indicating a family-related transfer.
