Sale prices disclosed in just two of 10 West Stockbridge deed transfers

WEST STOCKBRIDGE -- Ten property deeds were recorded in West Stockbridge between July 10 and Aug. 8, but only two of those transactions disclosed a sale price, according to Southern Berkshire Registry of Deeds records.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded 10 deed transfers in the period. Two of the 10 listed a sale price: $840,000 for a property on Maple Hill Road and $100,000 for a property on State Line Road. Because only two of the 10 transactions disclosed a price, a full-market median cannot be calculated from this data set, and none is reported here. The $100,000 to $840,000 range reflects those two disclosed sales only, not the broader set of transfers. Ten recorded deeds is the count for the period; without comparable data from prior months, this report does not characterize the market as active or quiet.

TOP SALES 83 Maple Hill Road sold for $840,000 on July 31. The sellers were Bruce Michael Bettigole and Donna Klein Bettigole; the buyers were Wells Fargo Bank NA and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc.

4 State Line Road sold for $100,000 on July 24. The sellers were James F. Vosburgh and Jenine Filipelli; the buyer was Mutual of Omaha Mortgage Inc, with Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc also named on the deed.

These were the only two transactions in the period with a disclosed sale price; the remaining eight deeds did not list consideration amounts and are reported as price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Two deeds referenced Stockbridge Road: a July 27 transfer at 21 Stockbridge Road from Wells Fargo Bank NA to Andrew and Allison Kuslansky, price not disclosed, and a July 10 transfer listed at 21 Stockbridgd Road from Allison and Andrew Kuslansky to Craig A. Gordnier, price not disclosed. The remaining eight sales were each on separate streets: Glendale Road, Carlotto Road, Main Street, Van Shaack Road, Miller Lane, and one deed with no street address listed. With only two of 10 sales carrying a disclosed price, a price-tier breakdown is not meaningful for this period.

MARKET NOTES Financial institutions appear as either buyer or seller in six of the 10 recorded deeds this period: Wells Fargo Bank NA (buyer at 83 Maple Hill Road, seller at 21 Stockbridge Road), Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc (named on the Maple Hill Road, State Line Road and Van Shaack Road deeds), Mutual of Omaha Mortgage Inc (buyer at 4 State Line Road), Operative Bank (seller at 1 Carlotto Road) and Greylock Federal Credit Union (seller at 44 Main Street). Two deeds involved a trust or estate: the Glendale Road transfer moved the property from an individual to a revocable trust in the same surname, and the Miller Lane deed listed a seller identified as an estate alongside an individual of the same surname. No beds, baths or square footage figures are available from deed records, and property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) is not indicated in this data set.
