Stockbridge September Sales See Just Two Of Twelve Deeds Priced So Far

STOCKBRIDGE -- Twelve property transfers were recorded in Stockbridge between Aug. 28 and Sept. 26, but only two had a sale price posted to the registry by the time this roundup was compiled, illustrating the typical lag between recording and price disclosure at the Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Of the 12 recorded transfers, two carry a sale price: $895,000 and $1,200,000, for a two-sale median of $1,047,500. The other 10 transfers, most involving the town of Stockbridge, a bank or a utility as a party, have not yet posted a price; that is normal and typically resolves within about a week of recording. Because only two of 12 transfers are priced, the dollar figures above describe those two sales only, not the full month's market. The dataset does not include a prior-period count for comparison, so whether 12 recorded transfers represents brisk or slow activity for Stockbridge cannot be determined from this data alone.

TOP SALES

15 Interlaken Cross Road sold for $1,200,000 on Aug. 28, the period's highest recorded price. Seller Henry Nunberg, trustee of the Henry Nunberg Revocable Trust, conveyed the property to buyers John Spellman and Cynthia McCollum.

10 Prospect Hill Road sold for $895,000 on Sept. 11. Sellers Darlene Ehrenberg and Darlene B. Ehrenberg conveyed the property to buyers Christopher Neumann and Elizabeth Neumann.

The remaining 10 transfers recorded in the period have no sale price available yet, so they cannot be ranked among top sales by dollar value.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Interlaken Cross Road/Interlaken Crossroad: Three separate deeds tied to this street were recorded in the period. Besides the $1,200,000 sale at 15 Interlaken Cross Road, the same seller, the Nunberg trust, conveyed the 15 Interlaken Crossroad property to the town of Stockbridge the same day, and a separate parcel at 17 Interlaken Crossroad passed from Interlaken Crossroad LLC to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, with no price recorded for either.

Price tiers: The two priced sales span the $500,000-to-$1-million tier ($895,000) and the over-$1-million tier ($1,200,000). The other 10 transfers have no price on record yet and cannot be tiered.

Town of Stockbridge as buyer: Five of the 12 transfers name Stockbridge Town or the Stockbridge Town Select Board as buyer, involving properties tied to Prospect Hill Road, Glendale Road, Larrywaug Cross Road, Mahkeenac Shores Road and Interlaken Crossroad. None has a recorded price.

Bank-linked transfers: 8 Shamrock Street passed from Shamrock LLC to NBT Bank NA on Sept. 3, and 16 Quiet Knoll Road passed from NBT Bank NA to buyers Jason and Christa St. Peter the same day. Neither has a recorded price.

Utility and easement transfers: A Christian Hill Road easement was conveyed to Massachusetts Electric Co., without a recorded price.

MARKET NOTES

The period's 12 transfers include a mix of transaction types beyond conventional home sales: five conveyances to the town of Stockbridge, one conveyance to a state environmental agency, one utility easement, and a bank-linked pair of transfers at Shamrock Street and Quiet Knoll Road. Two transfers involved family or revocable trusts as sellers: 42 Glendale Road (Avi Laub, trustee of the Dori Laub Revocable Trust) and both Interlaken Cross Road deeds (Henry Nunberg, trustee of the Henry Nunberg Revocable Trust). One recorded transfer, 22 Goodrich Street, lists a seller, Dana Arneson, but no buyer name in the available data. Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures are not available from deed records for any of the properties listed.
