Only Two of 12 Otis Property Transfers Disclose a Sale Price

OTIS -- The Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded 12 property transfers in Otis between July 24 and Aug. 22, but only two included a disclosed sale price, limiting what conclusions can be drawn about the local market this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Twelve deed transactions were recorded in Otis during the period. Of those, two disclosed a sale price, ranging from $35,963 to $75,000, with a median of $55,481 based on those two transactions. The remaining 10 entries listed no consideration amount, which is common for deed records and does not necessarily indicate the properties changed hands for free. Because price data is available for only two of 12 transactions, the raw count of 12 filings should not be read as a signal of an active or quiet sales period; it reflects total recorded deed activity, which includes trust transfers, bank-related filings and municipal transactions in addition to conventional sales.

TOP SALES

759 North Main Rd, Klondike Campground: $75,000, recorded Aug. 28... [correction] recorded July 28, 2026. Seller: North Main Rd Klondike Campground and Patrick L. O'Donnell. Buyer: Arthur R. Jensen and Eileen E. Jensen.

175 Lee Westfield Rd: $35,963, recorded July 31, 2026. Seller: David Englehard and Elizabeth Englehard. Buyer: Berkshire Regional Planning Commission.

No other transactions in this period disclosed a sale price, so a fuller ranking of top sales by price is not possible from the available data. The remaining 10 transfers, listed below by street, did not include consideration amounts.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

West Center Road had two recorded transactions during the period: 1519 West Center Rd (July 31... [correction] recorded Aug. 4, 2026, a transfer from Martin E. Warshawsky and Rose E. Gole to Rose E. Gole and Rose Gole Warshawsky as trustees, price not disclosed) and 583 W Center Rd (recorded July 27, 2026, a mortgage-related filing from Greylock Federal Credit Union to Dominic J. Scapin, price not disclosed). No other street had more than one recorded transaction. By price tier, the two disclosed sales fell in a range of $35,963 to $75,000; the remaining nine addressed properties (752 Algerie Rd, 55 Fern Dr, 1309 Monterey Rd, 120 Rainbow Rd, 16 Pine Rd Ext, 64 Drive B, 112 Werden Rd, and one unaddressed Otis parcel) carried no disclosed price and cannot be sorted into a tier.

MARKET NOTES

Three of the 12 recorded transfers appear to be family or trust transactions rather than open-market sales, based on shared surnames between seller and buyer: 1519 West Center Rd (Warshawsky and Gole to Gole and Warshawsky Gole as trustees), 55 Fern Dr (Brenton H. Greer and Courtney Greer to Brenton Haldeman Greer as trustee of a revocable trust), and 112 Werden Rd (Arthur and Ruth Epstein as trustees to Susan R. Epstein as trustee). The deed data does not indicate the reason for these transfers, and none should be assumed.

Three other transactions listed a bank or credit union as the seller or as a party of record: Lee Bank (an unaddressed Otis parcel, recorded Aug. 4), Traders Trust Co. and T Bank (120 Rainbow Rd, a mortgage-related filing recorded July 30), and Greylock Federal Credit Union (583 W Center Rd, recorded July 27). One transaction, 16 Pine Rd Ext, recorded July 28, listed Otis Town Conservation as seller and George Caye as buyer. Another, 175 Lee Westfield Rd, listed the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission as buyer.

No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage data is available from deed records for any of the 12 transactions, and no property-type classification (single-family, condominium or multi-family) is included in the dataset, so no further comparisons are possible for this period.
