Richmond June Deed Records Yield Just Two Disclosed Prices Out of 15 Instruments

RICHMOND -- The Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded 15 instruments involving Richmond properties between May 31 and June 29, 2026, but only two carried disclosed consideration amounts, and both of those transactions involved the same buyer: Greylock Federal Credit Union.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Of the 15 recorded instruments, just two disclosed sale prices: $100,000 at 2851 State Road and $250,000 at 326 Yokun Road. The remaining 13 entries either carried no consideration amount or represent administrative, municipal, or non-arm's-length instruments — including option agreements, variance and special permit filings, tax collector deeds, trust transfers, and mortgage-referenced documents. With only two price-disclosed transactions, no statistically meaningful median or price range can be drawn for conventional market activity this period. The dataset does not support a characterization of the month as active or quiet in traditional market terms.
• TOP SALES
• The highest disclosed price in the period was $250,000, recorded June 12 at 326 Yokun Road. The seller was Fayette Ann Reynolds and the buyer was Greylock Federal Credit Union. The second and only other disclosed transaction was recorded June 15 at 2851 State Road for $100,000; Sheila Sullivan was the seller and Greylock Federal Credit Union was again the buyer. Both transactions list a credit union as grantee, a pattern that may indicate foreclosure-related transfers, though the data does not confirm the nature of either conveyance.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• State Road generated the most activity by street name, with at least three instruments recorded at addresses along that corridor — 2851 State Road (price disclosed), 399 State Road, and 1751 State Road — though the latter two involved no disclosed consideration or were administrative in nature. Dublin Road appeared twice, at 17 Dublin Road (an option agreement for a land lease) and 195 Dublin Road (a mortgage-referenced instrument). Oak Road at 17 appeared twice on the same date, June 2, with different buyers — Elias A. Haidar and Gail Boleng — and different book references, suggesting distinct instruments tied to the same parcel. Single instruments were recorded on Birch Lane, Lake Road, Walnut Road, Swamp Road, and Dean Hill Road, all without disclosed prices.
• MARKET NOTES
• No square footage or property type data is available from deed records for this period. Several instruments in the dataset are not conventional property sales: the June 17 entry at 17 Dublin Road is recorded as an option agreement for a land lease; the June 16 entry at 1751 State Road references a variance and lists Richmond Town as both grantor and grantee in various capacities; the June 4 entry at 81 State Road references a special permit with the Richmond Board of Selectmen as buyer; and two June 2 entries list the Richmond Town Collector of Taxes as seller, indicating possible tax-title transactions. The June 2 entry at 630 Dean Hill Road lists a bank as seller, suggesting a potential REO conveyance. The June 24 transfer at 78 Birch Lane moved from Peter H. Gunn to a Gunn Joint Revocable Trust, consistent with an estate planning instrument. These instruments are part of the public record but do not reflect conventional buyer-seller market transactions.
