Only one of nine Egremont sales this month discloses a price

EGREMONT -- Nine properties changed hands in Egremont between June 19 and July 18, but only one deed disclosed a sale price, limiting what can be said about where the local market stands this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Southern Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded nine property transfers in Egremont during the period. Only one of the nine, the sale of 74 Prospect Lake Rd for $575,000, included a disclosed consideration amount. Because eight of nine deeds list no sale price, a meaningful price range or median cannot be calculated for the period as a whole; the single disclosed price of $575,000 is the only price point available. The raw count of nine recorded transfers is consistent with typical month-to-month activity, though without pricing data on the majority of sales, it is not possible to characterize the period as active or quiet in market terms.

TOP SALES 74 Prospect Lake Rd sold for $575,000 on June 24. Sellers Marc Bernstein and Sanda Bernstein, as trustees, transferred the property to buyers Matthew Black and Jessica Black. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available from the deed record. This was the only transaction in the period with a disclosed sale price. The remaining eight transfers -- 67 Jug End Rd, 7 Hickory Hill Rd, 171 Egremont Plain Rd, 3 Mountain View Rd, 187 Egremont Plain Rd, 38 Main St, 35 Phillips Rd, and 3 Button Ball Ln -- were all recorded without a disclosed consideration amount.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Egremont Plain Road saw two recorded transfers in the period: 171 Egremont Plain Rd, transferred June 6 from Egremont Town and CDC South Berkshire to the Egremont Town Clerk, and 187 Egremont Plain Rd, transferred June 26 from Adams Community Bank to Perry and Laurie Cousseau. Both were recorded without a disclosed price. No other street had more than one recorded transfer in this period. By price tier, one sale falls in the $500,000-to-$1 million range (74 Prospect Lake Rd, at $575,000); the price tier for the remaining eight sales cannot be determined, since no consideration amount was recorded.

MARKET NOTES Three of the nine transfers involved a bank or mortgage-related entity as seller: 67 Jug End Rd (Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and KeyBank NA to Andrew C. Gates), 3 Mountain View Rd (Lee Bank to Jeffrey M. Nathan and Betty A. Farbman), and 187 Egremont Plain Rd (Adams Community Bank to Perry and Laurie Cousseau). Two transfers appear to be trust-related conveyances: 35 Phillips Rd, from Shana M. Stalker and Kathleen M. McCormick as trustees, and 3 Button Ball Ln, from Bonnie S. Greenwood, as trustee, and Howell Nominee Realty Trust to Greenwood and the Bonnie S. Greenwood Revocable Living Trust Agreement -- the latter appears to be a transfer within the same family or estate rather than a sale to a new owner. The 171 Egremont Plain Rd transfer involved Egremont Town and CDC South Berkshire as sellers and the Egremont Town Clerk as buyer, suggesting a municipal or public-purpose transaction rather than a private residential sale. No property-type data (single-family, condominium or multi-family) or square-footage figures were available from the deed records, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made this period.
