Only Sale Price Disclosed in June Sets Williamstown's Reported Range at $95,000

WILLIAMSTOWN -- Fifteen property-related deeds were recorded in Williamstown between June 19 and July 18, but only one listed a sale price, leaving most of the period's real estate activity undocumented in dollar terms.

MARKET OVERVIEW Registry records show 15 recorded entries covering eight distinct properties during the four-week period. Only one entry, the June 22 sale of 640 Pine Cobble Road, disclosed a consideration amount: $95,000. Because 14 of the 15 entries did not disclose a price, the reported price range and median both stand at $95,000, reflecting that single data point rather than a broad market sample. Judged strictly by the count of recorded transfers, eight properties changing hands in four weeks is a modest but steady pace for a town of Williamstown's size; the data does not support characterizing the period as either especially active or especially quiet beyond that raw count.

TOP SALES 640 Pine Cobble Road sold for $95,000 on June 22, with Jeffrey A. Palmer as seller. The transaction was recorded across three separate filings tied to the same address -- a deed, a certificate of secretary, and a second deed (Book 1921, Page 86) -- consistent with a single transfer documented through multiple instruments. No other transaction recorded during the period disclosed a sale price, so no additional properties can be ranked among the period's top sales by price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No two properties shared an identical street name during the period, so transfers are summarized by location. Recorded transfers occurred at 640 Pine Cobble Road, 148 South Street, 5 Windflower Way, 46 Lower Windflower Way, 213 Main Street, 130 Forest Road, 33 McCauley Lane and 9 Lynde Lane. By price tier, only the Pine Cobble Road sale falls into a known tier, under $500,000. The remaining seven properties -- on South Street, Windflower Way, Lower Windflower Way, Main Street, Forest Road, McCauley Lane and Lynde Lane -- recorded transfers without disclosed consideration, so they cannot be placed into a price tier.

MARKET NOTES Two of the period's transfers involved MountainOne Bank as seller: 148 South Street, recorded June 22 with Olivier and Laure Meslay as buyers, and 5 Windflower Way, also recorded June 22, with Norman J. Immerman as buyer. Both sale prices were not disclosed. Three other transfers show matching surnames between grantor and grantee, indicating transfers within the same family or into a trust rather than open-market sales: 9 Lynde Lane, recorded June 25, moved between members of the Kassin family, including transfers to Saul and Carol Beth Kassin as trustees; 33 McCauley Lane, recorded June 24, moved between Tela C. Zaloff and Eva L. Zaloff as trustee; and 130 Forest Road, recorded June 23, involved multiple filings among Paul R. Solomon, Suellen F. Solomon and Todd Solomon, including a transfer to Suellen F. Solomon and Todd Solomon as trustees. None of these three disclosed a sale price. Separately, 213 Main Street was recorded June 24 with Govardhan Inc. as buyer; no seller or price was listed in the available data. No beds, baths or square-footage figures were available from deed records for any property, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made this period.
