Single Sale Price Emerges From Seven October Sandisfield Property Transfers

SANDISFIELD -- Seven property transfers were recorded in Sandisfield between Sept. 18 and Oct. 17, but only one carried a sale price in the registry's data as of this writing, limiting what can be said about the month's market activity.

MARKET OVERVIEW Seven deeds were recorded during the period. Of those, one, the Sept. 29 sale of 132 Sandisfield Road, included a consideration amount: $275,000. The remaining six transfers have no price yet in the registry data, which is typical when a sale has not reached the registry's system; prices often appear within about a week of recording. Because only one price is available, the $275,000 figure also stands as the de facto price range and median for the period. The raw count of seven recorded transfers is within a normal range for a single month in a small town, though with pricing data this limited, no conclusion about overall market direction can be drawn from this period alone.

TOP SALES The only transaction with a recorded price was 132 Sandisfield Road, which sold Sept. 29 for $275,000. The sellers were Kristen O'Malley Zetlan and Peter Zetlan; the buyer was Lee Bank. No bed, bath or square footage data was available from the deed record.

The remaining six transfers, listed here in order of recording date, do not yet have prices in the registry data: a property on Sandisfield Road with no street number listed (seller Robert Liberman, recorded Oct. 16); 19 Roberts Road (seller Robert Liberman, recorded Oct. 16); 121 Sandy Brook Turnpike (seller Helen Grimm, recorded Oct. 15); 121 Town Hill Road (sellers Lee Bank and Therese P. Fedell, recorded Oct. 15); 3 West Street (seller Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Rocket Mortgage LLC, buyer Rocket Mortgage LLC, recorded Oct. 8); and 165 Sandisfield Road (sellers Dawn Odell Lemon and Gary W. Lemon Jr., recorded Sept. 24).

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Sandisfield Road accounted for two of the seven recorded transfers: 132 Sandisfield Road ($275,000) and 165 Sandisfield Road (price not yet available), plus a third deed recorded on Sandisfield Road without a specific street number. The remaining transfers were spread across Roberts Road, Sandy Brook Turnpike, Town Hill Road and West Street, with one recorded transfer on each street. No other street-level clustering appeared in the data for this period.

MARKET NOTES Two of the seven transfers involved financial institutions as parties rather than individual buyers or sellers. Lee Bank appeared as the buyer in the 132 Sandisfield Road sale and as a co-seller, alongside Therese P. Fedell, in the 121 Town Hill Road transfer. The 3 West Street deed listed Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Rocket Mortgage LLC as sellers and Rocket Mortgage LLC as the buyer. These patterns are noted as recorded in the deed data; the registry data does not indicate the circumstances behind these transfers. No bed, bath or square footage figures were available for any property in this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made. All seven recorded transfers appear to involve single-family residential properties based on the addresses listed; no condominium or multi-family designations were present in the data.

Because six of the seven transfers in this period lack recorded prices, readers should expect updated figures in next month's roundup as the registry's data catches up. The $275,000 sale at 132 Sandisfield Road is the only price-confirmed transaction for the Sept. 18 to Oct. 17 window.
