Sale Prices Stay Scarce as Florida Records Nine Property Deeds in July

FLORIDA, Mass. -- Nine deeds were recorded for Florida properties between June 19 and July 18, but only two disclosed a sale price, limiting what the month's records show about the local market.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Northern Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded nine transactions involving Florida property in the period. Of those, two carried a disclosed sale price, ranging from $15,000 to $25,000, with a median of $20,000 based on the two disclosed figures. Price was not disclosed for the remaining seven records, which include mortgage-related filings and a trust transfer rather than conventional purchase-and-sale transactions. Because pricing data is available for so few of the nine records, the raw count alone does not support a conclusion about whether the period was active or quiet.

TOP SALES 0 Stryker Rd sold for $25,000 on July 8. The seller was listed as Sabrina Parks and Jacque Lee Marling Milewski; the buyer was David Sapio.

Florida, MA (no specific street address given) sold for $15,000 on July 14. The seller was listed as John Sampson; the buyers were Marc Folino and Patricia Robinson.

No other transactions in the period disclosed a sale price, so no additional entries can be ranked among the top sales by price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Stryker Rd: Two deeds were recorded for 0 Stryker Rd, both dated July 8 -- one disclosing the $25,000 sale price and a second, involving overlapping seller names (Sabrina Parks and Jacque Lee Marling), with no price disclosed.

Tilda Hill Rd: Three deeds touched this street. Two record the same transaction at 182 Tilda Hill Rd, both dated July 6, with Tracy Pierce as seller and Mark Wittig as buyer -- one filed as a notice of contract, the other as a statement of account, neither disclosing a price. A separate mortgage-related deed for 42 Tilda Hill Rd, dated June 30, lists Heather S. Lane and Darin R. Lane as sellers and PennyMac Loan Services LLC as buyer, with no price disclosed.

Other addresses: Single deeds were also recorded for 1 Oleson Rd (July 8, a trust-related transfer involving the Lea King Trust), 147 Monroe Rd (June 25, a mortgage-related deed), and 119 Church Rd (June 22, a mortgage-related deed). None of these three disclosed a sale price.

MARKET NOTES No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage data was available in the deed records, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made. Property type -- single-family, condominium or multi-family -- is also not indicated in the data. Three of the nine recorded transfers list a bank or lending institution as grantor or grantee: PennyMac Loan Services LLC (42 Tilda Hill Rd), Greylock Federal Credit Union (147 Monroe Rd) and MountainOne Bank (119 Church Rd), a pattern consistent with mortgage-related recordings rather than standard arm's-length sales. One transfer, at 1 Oleson Rd, involved the Lea King Trust. The 182 Tilda Hill Rd and 0 Stryker Rd properties each generated two separate deed filings within the same reporting period involving the same or overlapping parties.
