Single Disclosed Sale Sets $1.375 Million Benchmark For New Marlborough Market

NEW MARLBOROUGH -- Eight property transfers were recorded in New Marlborough between July 3 and Aug. 1, but only one deed included a disclosed sale price: an estate sale on Cross Road that closed at $1,375,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Southern Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded eight transfers in New Marlborough during the period. Of those, seven listed no consideration amount, meaning the price was not disclosed in the deed record. The single disclosed price, $1,375,000, sets both the reported range and the median for the period, though that figure reflects only one of eight transactions and should not be read as representative of the broader month. Eight recorded transfers is the only volume figure available from this dataset; there is no prior-period data provided for comparison.

TOP SALES The only sale with a disclosed price was 605 Cross Road to Canaan Valley Road, which sold for $1,375,000 on July 9. The sellers, J. Kevin Smith and Maureen Rooney, were listed as personal representatives, indicating an estate transfer. The buyers were Keith Dickey and Jean Alison Dickey. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed data.

The remaining seven transfers carried no disclosed price and cannot be ranked by value. They are: 117 Norfolk Road, sold July 10, from LoanCare LLC and Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC to Matthew Wilson; 37 Pine Street, sold July 10, from Paul D. Pfeifer and Ayren Pfeifer to Paul D. Pfeifer and Ayren M. Pfeifer as trustees; 194 Canaan Southfield Road, sold July 6, from NBT Bank NA to Richard LaRose Jr. and Alaina Marzinotto; a second parcel on Cross Road/Canaan Valley Road, sold July 9, from Richard A. Flintoft and Caroline P. Chase (buyer not listed); and three separate deeds, one with no street address given, plus 79 Keyes Hill Road and 185 Keyes Hill Road, all sold July 10, listing Carleton T. Goodnow and Olivia T. Goodnow as sellers with no buyer listed in any of the three.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Keyes Hill Road accounted for two of the eight recorded transfers (79 and 185 Keyes Hill Road), both with Carleton T. and Olivia T. Goodnow as sellers. Cross Road/Canaan Valley Road also accounted for two transfers recorded the same day, July 9, one of which is the period's only disclosed sale at $1,375,000. The remaining transfers were single entries on Norfolk Road, Pine Street and Canaan Southfield Road, plus one deed with no street address specified. With price data available for only one of eight sales, a price-tier breakdown is not meaningful for this period.

MARKET NOTES Two of the eight transfers named financial institutions as sellers: LoanCare LLC and Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC on Norfolk Road, and NBT Bank NA on Canaan Southfield Road. One transfer, on Pine Street, moved the property from Paul D. and Ayren Pfeifer to Paul D. and Ayren M. Pfeifer as trustees, a same-family trust transfer. The Cross Road sale was recorded with sellers acting as personal representatives, consistent with an estate transfer. Carleton T. and Olivia T. Goodnow appear as sellers on three separate deed entries recorded the same day, though no buyer was listed for any of the three in the available data. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available for any property in this dataset, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made.
