Only One Priced Sale Emerges From Pittsfield's Latest Deed Records

PITTSFIELD -- Of the 12 property records the Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded for Pittsfield addresses in the period reviewed, only one carried a sale price: a $300,000 transaction on Harding Street. The rest of the batch was made up largely of mortgage discharges and family or trust transfers, not open-market sales.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The dataset includes 12 recorded documents, all dated Aug. 28, 2026. Of those, one was an identifiable arm's-length home sale with a price attached, at $300,000. That single data point sets the price range at $300,000 to $300,000 and the median at $300,000. With only one priced sale, there is not enough data to characterize the period as active or quiet. Eleven of the 12 records were either mortgage discharges, which lenders file when a loan is paid off, or transfers of property into a family trust, neither of which typically carries a sale price.

TOP SALES

61 Harding St. sold for $300,000. Sellers Robert and Patricia Pelkey conveyed the property to buyer Riley E. Kolsto. No other record in this batch included a sale price, so no further transactions can be ranked by value. Prices for the remaining addresses had not yet reached the registry's public data as of this reporting.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No single street accounted for more than one sale. Garden Street appeared twice, but both records were mortgage discharges for the same buyers, Adam L. and Holly K. Simeone, covering two separate loan book-and-page references rather than a resale of the property. The remaining ten records were spread across ten different streets, including Richmond Avenue, Elaine Drive, Cromwell Avenue, Meadow Ridge Drive, Livingston Avenue, East Street, Pinto Drive and Kathy Way, with no other geographic clustering.

MARKET NOTES

Seven of the 12 records, covering Richmond Avenue, Elaine Drive, Livingston Avenue, Pinto Drive, Garden Street (twice) and Kathy Way, were mortgage discharges filed by lenders, including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., Freedom Mortgage Corp., CMG Home Loans, Merrimack Mortgage Co. LLC and Greylock Federal Credit Union. Discharges reflect a loan being paid off and do not by themselves indicate a home changed hands this period. Three records, at 132 Cromwell Ave., 45 Meadow Ridge Dr. and an unaddressed Pittsfield property tied to the Gingras family, moved ownership into a revocable trust with a grantor and grantee sharing the same surname. This is a pattern common to estate planning; the registry data does not indicate why these transfers were made. One record, at 1952 East St., listed sellers Mary Emma Fraser Cox and Thomas R. Cox II but no buyer name and no price. Bedroom, bathroom, square-footage and property-type details are not part of deed records and are not available for any entry in this batch.

A note on data limits: this period's batch produced only one price-bearing home sale. A fuller picture of Pittsfield's August-into-September market will depend on additional recorded sales and on pricing data catching up for the mortgage-discharge and trust-transfer records listed above, which do not represent completed sales.
