Stockbridge Deeds Show Prices Ranging From $202,000 To $595,000

STOCKBRIDGE -- Fifteen documents recorded at the Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds between Aug. 7 and Sept. 5 covered Stockbridge properties, but only four disclosed a sale price, ranging from $202,000 to $595,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 15 Stockbridge transactions in the period. Of those, four included a stated consideration amount: $202,000, $450,000, $500,000 and $595,000. The median of the disclosed prices is $475,000. With 11 of 15 recorded documents showing no price, and several of the 15 records representing multiple filings tied to the same property rather than separate home sales, the raw count of 15 should not be read as 15 distinct arms-length transactions. The data does not support characterizing the period as active or quiet beyond that count.

TOP SALES

1 Pixley Hill Road sold for $595,000 on Aug. 12, the highest disclosed price of the period. The sellers were listed as O. Stephen Paganuzzi Jr., trustee, and the Noreen A. Brierton Trust; the buyers were Joshua Langer Ginsberg and Joahn Kari Ginsberg. Two additional filings recorded the same day, a deed reference and a mortgage discharge, relate to the same property.

3 Church Street sold for $500,000 on Aug. 18. The seller was listed as Lynn P. Edelstein; no buyer was named in the record.

16 Quiet Knoll Road sold for $450,000 on Aug. 18. The sellers were listed as Jason St. Peter and Christa H. St. Peter; no buyer was named in the record.

34 Church Street sold for $202,000 on Aug. 17. The sellers were listed as Carol Cespedes and Benny Orpiano Cespedes; the buyers were Axos Bank and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Church Street had two recorded sales in the period, at $500,000 and $202,000, the widest single-street price spread in the disclosed data. By price tier, two disclosed sales fell under $500,000 (34 Church Street at $202,000 and 16 Quiet Knoll Road at $450,000), and two fell between $500,000 and $1 million (3 Church Street at $500,000 and 1 Pixley Hill Road at $595,000). No disclosed sale exceeded $1 million. Several other streets, including Pixley Hill Road, Glendale Road and Larrywaug Crossroad, appear more than once in the records, but those additional filings are mortgages, discharges or assignments tied to a property already counted rather than separate sales.

MARKET NOTES

Of the 15 recorded documents, several sets trace back to the same underlying property: 1 Pixley Hill Road generated three filings (a deed, a related deed reference and a mortgage discharge), 8 Glendale Road generated two (a homestead filing and a deed to Bluebird Meadows LLC), 28 Glendale Road generated two mortgage filings tied to buyer Geoffrey A. Nader, 12 Larrywaug Crossroad generated two filings involving Dean P. Cimini and Elizabeth A. Strand, and 14 Pine Street generated two filings, a mortgage and an assignment, both naming Pine Street of Lenox Associates LP as buyer and Lee Bank among the sellers of record. No bed, bath or square-footage data is available from these deed records. The dataset does not indicate whether any transactions involved condominium or multi-family property beyond the reference to a unit designation at 19 Hawthorne Road.
