Savoy Deed Records Show Wide Price Spread But Only Two Disclosed Figures in June-July Period

SAVOY -- Six property transactions were recorded at the Northern Berkshire Registry of Deeds for Savoy between June 12 and July 11, 2026, but only two carried disclosed consideration amounts, leaving a narrow window into actual market conditions for the period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Six transactions were recorded during the four-week period, spanning three street addresses plus one parcel identified only by town. Of the six entries, two disclosed consideration amounts: $38,000 and $500,000, producing a median of $269,000 — a figure that reflects a wide spread across just two data points and should be read with caution. Four transactions recorded no sale price, which is common for deed and mortgage documents filed alongside arm's-length sales. The raw count of six is modest for a rural Berkshire hill town, though Savoy's small size and low transaction volume make single-month comparisons of limited use.

TOP SALES The highest consideration recorded in the period was $500,000, associated with a filing at 141 Griffin Hill Road recorded July 1. The document lists Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and HMA Mortgage as the named recipients, indicating the figure represents a recorded mortgage amount rather than a disclosed purchase price; a separate deed recorded the same day at the same address, bearing Deed Book 1922, Page 287, lists Griffin Rougeau and Emma Graham as sellers, though no consideration is stated on that instrument. Together, the pair of filings suggest a property transfer occurred at 141 Griffin Hill Road on July 1, with financing arranged through HMA Mortgage, but the purchase price is not disclosed in deed records.

The only other consideration on record for the period is $38,000, noted in a July 8 conveyance at 32 Harrington Road from Kimberly A. Ostrobinski — whose name appears in the record with two alternate spellings, Kimberly and Kimberley — to Adams Community Bank. A second document recorded the same day at the same address, Mortgage Book 1689, Page 547, shows Adams Community Bank conveying back to Ostrobinski; no consideration is stated on that instrument. The pairing is consistent with a mortgage-related transaction and does not necessarily represent an open-market sale.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Two of the three street addresses produced paired filings — one deed or conveyance document and one mortgage or related instrument — at 32 Harrington Road and 141 Griffin Hill Road, each recorded on a single date. The third address, 45 Loop Road, appears in one filing dated June 12, in which Greylock Federal Credit Union conveyed to Peter J. DeMastrie; no consideration is disclosed, and the document references Mortgage Book 1475, Page 175, suggesting a lender-related transfer. A fourth filing carries no street address and records an estate-planning transfer: Jodie L. Freadman conveyed to herself as trustee of the Jodie L. Freadman Revocable Trust on July 7; no consideration is stated and no address is listed in the registry record.

MARKET NOTES Of the six recorded entries, at least three appear to be mortgage instruments or lender-related conveyances rather than arm's-length sales between independent buyers and sellers. One is an intra-family trust transfer. The result is that the dataset yields, at most, one probable market sale with an undisclosed price — the 141 Griffin Hill Road deed — and one conveyance to a bank at 32 Harrington Road that may or may not reflect an open-market value. Readers seeking to assess Savoy's residential market should treat the $38,000 and $500,000 figures as recorded consideration amounts on specific legal instruments, not necessarily as reliable sale prices. Beds, baths, and square footage are not available from deed records.
