Single Disclosed Sale Sets Only Price Benchmark in Quiet Hinsdale Period

HINSDALE -- Eight deeds recorded in Hinsdale between July 10 and Aug. 8 show property changing hands across town, but only one included a disclosed sale price, limiting what can be said about where the local market stands this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eight sales were recorded in Hinsdale during the period. Of those, only one, the July 14 transfer of 190 George Schnopp Road, disclosed a sale price: $79,837. Because that is the only priced transaction in the dataset, it also stands as both the low and high end of the range and the median. The other seven transfers, which include bank, credit union, trust and municipal parties, were recorded without a sale price, which is common for certain deed types. With just one usable price point, the eight recorded transfers do not, on their own, support a conclusion about whether the period was active or quiet in dollar terms; the raw count of eight transfers is the only volume signal the data provides.

TOP SALES 190 George Schnopp Road sold for $79,837 on July 14. The deed lists sellers Roger S. Burr and Lisa D. Burr, with buyers listed as Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Amerisave Mortgage Corp.

No other recorded transfer in this period disclosed a sale price. Among the remaining seven, notable transfers by recording date include: 31 New Windsor Road, sold July 15, sellers Nicole Siemer and Joshua Booth, price not disclosed. An unaddressed Hinsdale parcel, sold July 13, seller Shawn Armacost, buyer Digital Federal Credit Union, price not disclosed. 26 Main St., sold July 13, seller Greylock Federal Credit Union, buyer Barbara L. Mills, price not disclosed. 337 Ashmere Road, sold July 10, seller Jeanmarie Iwanicki, buyer Hinsdale Town Conservation, price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The eight transfers were spread across eight different addresses (New Windsor Road, George Schnopp Road, an unaddressed parcel, Main Street, Ashmere Road, South Shore Road, Maple Street and Church Street), with no two transfers sharing a street, so no street-level clustering is evident in this period's data. By price tier, only one transaction, 190 George Schnopp Road at $79,837, falls under $500,000; the remaining seven cannot be tiered because no sale price was disclosed.

MARKET NOTES Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available in the deed records for this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made. The mix of parties in the recorded transfers includes lending and credit institutions (Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Amerisave Mortgage Corp. on George Schnopp Road; Digital Federal Credit Union as buyer on the unaddressed parcel; Greylock Federal Credit Union as seller on Main Street) alongside a municipal recipient, Hinsdale Town Conservation, on Ashmere Road. One transfer, 291 South Shore Road, involves a trust, listing Craig A. Walton as trustee alongside the South Shore Road Family Trust as seller; no buyer was listed in the data provided. No motivation for that or any other transfer can be inferred from the deed data alone.
