Only Two Of 14 Egremont Property Transfers Carry A Recorded Price

EGREMONT -- Of the 14 property transfers recorded in Egremont over the past month, only two carried a sale price by this report's filing, ranging from $345,000 to $975,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The Southern Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded 14 property transfers in Egremont between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10. Of those, two carried a sale price: $345,000 and $975,000, putting the price range at $345,000 to $975,000 and the median at $660,000. The remaining 12 transfers have no price on file yet; registry data for a given deed typically arrives within about a week of recording, so this is expected lag rather than a sign those transfers were withheld. With only two of 14 transfers priced so far, the raw count of 14 recorded deeds suggests a period of ordinary activity, but price-based conclusions about market tone will need to wait for the remaining data to post.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was 117 Creamery Rd, which sold for $975,000 on Sept. 17. The seller was Elena and Michael Moran; the buyer was Adams Community Bank. The second priced sale was a property on an address not fully specified in Egremont, which sold for $345,000 on Sept. 18. The seller was Timothy F. and Jill P. Hughes; the buyer was Shana Stalker. Price is not yet available for the other 12 recorded transfers this period.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Two pairs of entries point to the same properties recorded under slightly different street-name spellings: a transfer at 3 Town House Hill Rd/3 Townhouse Hill Rd, both dated Sept. 24, and a transfer at 67 Mount Washington Rd/67 Mt Washington Rd, both dated Sept. 22. A separate property at 42 Mt Washington Rd also recorded a transfer, on Sept. 14. The remaining transfers were spread across single addresses on Millard Road, Hillsdale Road, Main Street, Creamery Road, Mill Road, Baldwin Hill Road, Greenwood Circle and Pumpkin Hollow Road, with no other street showing more than one recorded deed. By price tier: one sale fell under $500,000 ($345,000); one fell in the $500,000-to-$1 million range ($975,000); prices for the remaining 12 transfers are not yet available.

MARKET NOTES

Several of the period's recorded deeds appear to be transfers within the same family or into a trust rather than open-market sales: a deed at 70 Main St moved the property from John L. and Henrietta Wosczyna to Henrietta Wosczyna and John L. Wosczyna as trustee, and a deed at 30 Greenwood Cir moved the property from Regina Joann Mather/Tuller to Regina Joann Tuller and Alfred John Tuller Jr. Two deeds, at 5 Millard Rd and 7 Mill Rd, list Massachusetts Electric Co. as the buyer, distinct from the residential transfers elsewhere in the dataset. No bed, bath, square-footage or property-type data was available in the deed records, so price-per-square-foot and single-family-versus-other comparisons cannot be made this period.
