Only disclosed sale in New Ashford period closes at $85,000

NEW ASHFORD -- Three property transfers were recorded in New Ashford between July 10 and Aug. 8, according to deed records from the Northern Berkshire Registry of Deeds. Only one of the three disclosed a sale price.

MARKET OVERVIEW Three transfers were recorded during the period. Of those, one disclosed a sale price: $85,000, which sets both the price range and the reported median for the month. With only one of three transfers carrying a disclosed price, the data does not support a broader read on pricing trends. The raw count of three recorded transfers is presented here without comparison to prior periods, as no historical baseline was provided.

TOP SALES The only disclosed sale was an unspecified New Ashford property that sold for $85,000 on July 22. The seller was J W Kellys Enterprises Inc; the buyers were Dale F. Trottier and Joannia Trottier. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available from the deed record.

Two additional transfers at 95 Roys Rd carried no disclosed sale price. On Aug. 6, a deed was recorded with Valentina Marie Clermont as seller; no buyer was listed in the record. On Aug. 4, a related instrument at the same address, recorded as a mortgage discharge, listed the sellers as the Estate of Richard F. Clermont and the Estate of Richard Francis Clermont, with Citizens Bank N.A. as the buyer of record.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Two of the three recorded transfers, both dated within days of each other in early August, involve the same property at 95 Roys Rd. The third transfer's street address was not specified in the available deed data. By price tier, the single disclosed sale ($85,000) falls under $500,000; the two 95 Roys Rd transfers cannot be tiered because no price was disclosed.

MARKET NOTES The data is too limited to identify price-per-square-foot outliers or a property-type mix, since square footage and property-type fields were not available in any of the three records. One pattern in the record set is worth noting without speculation on cause: the two 95 Roys Rd transactions both involve the estate of Richard F. Clermont (also recorded as Richard Francis Clermont), with one instrument transferring the deed and a separate instrument, four days apart, discharging a mortgage to Citizens Bank N.A. Whether this reflects a single estate settlement process is not established by the deed data alone.

Given that two of the three transfers in this period disclosed no sale price and one lacked a street address, this roundup should be read as a record of recorded instruments rather than a complete picture of market pricing in New Ashford this period.
