Sheffield June Sales Span $25,000 to $104,502, Median Lands at $84,178

SHEFFIELD -- Sheffield's town government was among the most active buyers in the local deed registry during a four-week period ending July 11, acquiring two properties through its Community Development Block Grant Housing Rehabilitation Program in transactions that accounted for two of just four disclosed-price sales recorded in the period.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Fifteen deeds were recorded in Sheffield between June 12 and July 11, 2026. Of those, four carried disclosed consideration amounts, with prices ranging from $25,000 to $104,502 and a median of $84,178. The limited price-disclosure rate — four of 15 transactions, or roughly 27 percent — is common in deed registry data, where non-arm's-length transfers, financing adjustments, and estate or trust conveyances often record without a stated consideration. The figures here represent only a partial view of June market activity in Sheffield. The 15 recorded deeds indicate a moderately active filing period for a small rural town; whether this represents a seasonal shift or typical volume cannot be assessed without comparative data from prior months.

TOP SALES

The highest disclosed-price transaction was 216 South St., which sold June 18 for $104,502. Douglas J. and Elizabeth B. Pendergist were the sellers; Sheffield Town and the Sheffield CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Program were the buyers.

At 243 Hulett Hill Rd., Melissa A. Noe and James P. Noe Jr. conveyed the property June 18 for $85,000. No buyer name was included in the available deed data.

On the same date, 392 Bears Den Rd. transferred from Arthur Wright to Sheffield Town and the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Program for $83,357, a second municipal acquisition within the program.

The lowest disclosed-price sale was 235 East Stahl Rd., which transferred June 25 from Julia M. Heenan for $25,000. No buyer name was recorded in the available data. The consideration is roughly one-quarter of the period's median; deed records do not indicate property type or condition.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

One address — 153 East Main St. — appears twice in the dataset, both deeds recorded June 22 with no disclosed price. The two entries list separate sellers: Michael Farrell and Colin Whitaker. Recording two deeds for the same address on the same date is consistent with co-owners conveying their individual interests separately, though the available data does not confirm property type or ownership structure.

Among the four disclosed-price sales, the properties are geographically dispersed across four distinct corridors: South St., Hulett Hill Rd., Bears Den Rd., and East Stahl Rd. No single street produced more than one disclosed-price transaction. By price tier, one sale fell below $50,000 (East Stahl Rd. at $25,000), two fell between $50,000 and $100,000 (Hulett Hill Rd. at $85,000 and Bears Den Rd. at $83,357), and one exceeded $100,000 (South St. at $104,502).

MARKET NOTES

Four of the 15 recorded deeds listed a financial institution as the grantor. NBT Bank NA appeared in two transactions — 340 Bow Wow Rd., sold June 29 to James D. Waldman and Sarah E. Williams, and 134 Wells Land Rd., sold June 23 to Donald Ward. Greylock Federal Credit Union conveyed 42 Valley View Rd. on June 25 to Susan G. Segall, and Lee Bank conveyed 95 Water Farm Rd. on June 23 to Leonard M. Campanale. A fifth deed at 334 Clayton Rd., recorded June 17, transferred between Wells Fargo Bank NA and Karen A. Muir as grantors to Freedom Mortgage Corp., consistent with a loan assignment or mortgage-related conveyance rather than a residential sale. Deed data alone does not confirm the nature of each financial institution transfer.

One deed at 199 Canaan Rd., recorded June 12, listed Arnold C. Agar Jr. and Diana L. Agar as both grantor and grantee — a pattern typical of transfers into or out of a revocable trust or for estate-planning purposes. The deed at 997 Foley Rd., also recorded June 12, listed the estate of Marion E. Oleen as a co-seller, indicating a probate-related transfer.
