Stockbridge deed data shows one disclosed price among 15 recorded transfers

STOCKBRIDGE -- Fifteen property transfers were recorded at the Middlesex Berkshire Registry of Deeds for Stockbridge addresses between June 26 and July 25, but only one included a disclosed sale price, limiting what can be concluded about the month's market.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded 15 transfers in the period. Of those, only one -- 12 Mohawk Lake Road, at $55,000 -- listed a consideration amount. That means the reported price range ($55,000 to $55,000) and median ($55,000) reflect a single transaction, not a representative sample of the month's activity. The remaining 14 records carry no disclosed price, which is common for deed filings involving bank discharges, trust transfers, or intra-family conveyances. Because pricing data covers only 1 of 15 filings, the raw count of 15 recorded transfers is the only reliable indicator of activity level this period, and it cannot be judged "active" or "quiet" without comparable prior-period figures.

TOP SALES 12 Mohawk Lake Road sold for $55,000, the only transaction in this period with a disclosed price. Sheila M. Martin was the seller; Greylock Federal Credit Union was the buyer.

Beyond that transaction, several other filings involved notable transfers, though none carried a disclosed price. 25 Mahkeenac Road changed hands from the estate of Henry K. Uman and Dennis Hellman to Eugene and Naomi Uman, price not disclosed. 86 East Main Street was conveyed in two separate deeds from Urban Development, with Link Corp as attorney, to David W. and Joan Lane, both recorded July 1, price not disclosed. 7 Church Street transferred from Wells Fargo Bank National Association, as trustee, to the town of Stockbridge, price not disclosed. 43 Glendale Road was conveyed in two deeds tied to the Kingston family, with Palu Kingston as buyer in one, price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Church Street saw two transfers: 7 Church Street (Wells Fargo Bank National Association, trustee, to the town of Stockbridge) and 49 Church Street (Michael and June Powell, seller side only listed). East Main Street saw two deeds at the same address, 86 East Main Street, both recorded July 1 with Urban Development/Link Corp as seller and David W. and Joan Lane as buyer. Glendale Road also saw two deeds at 43 Glendale Road, both recorded June 29, tied to the Kingston family. The remaining nine transfers were each on separate streets: Yale Court, Mahkeenac Road, Cherry Hill Road (conservation restriction), Fox Meadow Lane, Mohawk Lake Road, Mahkeenac Shores Road, Cherry Street, South Hill Road and Willard Hill Road. With pricing disclosed for only one filing, a price-tier breakdown is not meaningful this period.

MARKET NOTES Seven of the 15 recorded filings reference a specific mortgage book and page number in the property description (marked "MTG IN BK" in the registry data), a pattern distinct from straightforward sale deeds and typically associated with mortgage discharges or releases rather than open-market transactions. Lee Bank appears as grantor in three of those filings: 7 Yale Court, 1 Cherry Street and 1 South Hill Road. Several other filings show the same family name on both the seller and buyer side, or reference an estate or trust: 25 Mahkeenac Road (Uman), 43 Glendale Road (Kingston, across two deeds) and 86 East Main Street (Lane, across two deeds). The town of Stockbridge appears as grantee in two filings -- 7 Church Street and a Cherry Hill Road conservation restriction parcel acquired with the Munsee Community as co-party -- indicating municipal or conservation-related acquisitions during the period. No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage data is available from deed records for any of the 15 filings.
