Two Disclosed Hancock Home Sales Span $137,000 to $390,000 in July

HANCOCK -- Eight property transfers were recorded in Hancock between July 17 and Aug. 15, but only two of them disclosed a sale price, ranging from $137,000 to $390,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eight deeds were recorded in Hancock during the period. Of those, two carried a disclosed sale price: $137,000 and $390,000, producing a two-sale median of $263,500. The remaining six transfers did not include consideration amounts, which is common in registry of deeds filings. Because price data is available for only a quarter of the recorded transfers, the raw count of eight does not by itself indicate whether the period was active or quiet; sale-price trends cannot be reliably assessed from this dataset.

TOP SALES 37 Corey Rd., Unit 815, sold for $390,000 on July 17. Juan Alberto Osorio Zuckermann and Georgina Michel Rodriguez sold the unit to Denise Oakley and Jill M. Oakley. 161 Main St. sold for $137,000 on July 23. David W. Desantis and Cathleen I. Duffy sold the property to Richard Gillespie. No other transfer recorded in the period included a disclosed sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Corey Road: Three of the eight recorded documents involved 37 Corey Rd., including the $390,000 sale of Unit 815, a grant of limited common area for Unit 85 from the Country Village at Jiminy Peak Condominium Trust to the Michelle S. Colvin Revocable Trust, and a certificate of manager involving Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort LLC. Main Street: 161 Main St. was the subject of two recordings: the $137,000 sale and a notice of alternative sewage disposal system tied to the same address. Other addresses: Single transfers were recorded at 276 Brodie Mountain Rd. (Jeffery Wilbanks and Brenda L. Wilbanks to Vacation Village in the Berkshires Owners Association Inc.), 6 Lebanon Springs Rd. (Greylock Federal Credit Union to Elizabeth K. Weeks and Jeffrey M. Weeks), and an unspecified Hancock address (Ladonna Cowart and Loyd Randolph Cowart Jr. to Vacation Village in the Berkshires Owners Association Inc.). By price tier: Both disclosed sales, $137,000 and $390,000, fall under $500,000. No disclosed sales exceeded that threshold in this period.

MARKET NOTES Vacation Village in the Berkshires Owners Association Inc. was the buyer of record in two separate transfers during the period, one from the Cowarts and one from the Wilbankses. One transfer involved a lender as seller: Greylock Federal Credit Union conveyed 6 Lebanon Springs Rd. to Elizabeth K. and Jeffrey M. Weeks. One recording was a trust-to-trust transfer: the Country Village at Jiminy Peak Condominium Trust conveyed a limited common area interest at 37 Corey Rd., Unit 85, to the Michelle S. Colvin Revocable Trust. Three of the eight recordings, the sewage disposal notice, the limited common area grant, and the certificate of manager, were administrative or ancillary filings rather than standalone property sales, meaning the period's total of eight recordings reflects a mix of transaction types, not eight comparable home sales. Six of the eight recordings did not disclose a sale price. Bed, bath and square footage data were not available for any transfer in this dataset.
