Richmond's one priced September sale closes at $450,000 on Canaan Road

RICHMOND -- The Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded 10 property transfers in Richmond during the period Sept. 4 through Oct. 3, but only one carried a sale price in the data available so far: a $450,000 sale on Canaan Road.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Richmond recorded 10 property transfers in the four-week period. Of those, 1 of 10 included a sale price in the registry data reviewed for this report: $450,000 for 765 Canaan Rd. Because only one transfer has a recorded price, the price range and median are both $450,000, reflecting that single figure rather than a broader sample. The remaining nine transfers show "price not yet available," which is normal for recently recorded deeds; prices typically appear in the registry's data within about a week of recording. With pricing data this limited, the raw count of 10 recorded transfers is the only volume signal available this period, and it cannot be meaningfully compared to price-based measures of market activity.

TOP SALES

765 Canaan Rd sold for $450,000, recorded Sept. 22. The sellers were Lianne Friedman, as trustee, and Michelle Yanche, as trustee; the buyers were Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. Bed, bath and square footage figures are not available from deed records.

No other transfer recorded in Richmond during this period has a sale price available yet. Nine additional transfers were recorded, including properties on Rossiter Road, Swamp Road, Lenox Road, Cone Hill Road and Dublin Road, but their prices had not appeared in registry data as of this report.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Rossiter Road saw two recorded transfers: 160 Rossiter Rd, with sellers Rosanne Beauchamp and Mitchell Beauchamp, and 161 Rossiter Rd, where Adams Community Bank was the seller and the buyers were Matthew P. Kulesza and Meghan M. St. John. Cone Hill Road also saw two transfers: 257 Cone Hill Rd, with sellers James Phillip Scalise II and Julia Drury, and 297 Cone Hill Rd, with the Richmond Town Planning entity listed as seller. Lenox Road recorded two entries at the same address, 430 Lenox Rd: one listing buyer Catherine A. Gamberoni and referencing a discharged mortgage, and a second listing seller Judith Wilkinson, individually and as trustee. By price tier, only one transfer, the $450,000 Canaan Road sale, has a known price; the remaining nine fall into no price tier until their sale prices are recorded.

MARKET NOTES

No square footage data was available for any recorded transfer this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made. Property type cannot be determined from the deed data provided. One transfer, recorded without a street address in Richmond, listed sellers James P. Scalise II and James M. Scalise II and buyer James M. Scalise II, a transfer among parties sharing a surname; deed records do not indicate the reason for the transfer. The Canaan Road sale listed Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as buyers, with the sellers listed as trustees, a structure consistent with a bank-related transaction. Beyond these patterns, the data is too sparse, with 9 of 10 transfers lacking price information, to support further market observations this period.
