Two Disclosed Sales Anchor Williamstown Median at $445,050 Amid Sparse Data

WILLIAMSTOWN -- Deed records filed with the Northern Berkshire Registry of Deeds show 15 property transfers in Williamstown between July 24 and Aug. 22, but sale prices were disclosed in only two of those filings, limiting what the data can show about the month's market.

MARKET OVERVIEW Fifteen property transfers were recorded in Williamstown during the period. Of those, only two listed a disclosed consideration amount: $180,000 for 28 Bingham Street and $710,100 for 888 Hancock Road. Based on those two figures, the price range for the period was $180,000 to $710,100, with a median of $445,050. Because 13 of the 15 records carried no disclosed price, that range and median reflect a small fraction of the month's activity and should not be read as representative of the broader market. The raw count of 15 recorded transfers over four weeks is reported here without a prior-period baseline for comparison, so no characterization of the period as active or quiet can be made from the count alone.

TOP SALES 888 Hancock Road sold for $710,100 on July 24. The deed lists Grace Kim and Alejandro Mones as sellers and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Alliant Credit Union as buyers of record. A second document tied to the same address, recorded the same day, lists Kim and Mones as sellers but carries no disclosed price. 28 Bingham Street sold for $180,000 on July 24. Matthew Carter and Alison Carter are listed as sellers, and MountainOne Bank is listed as the buyer of record. No other transfers in the period disclosed a sale price, so no additional transactions can be ranked by price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN North Hoosac Road had two separate recorded transfers during the period: 1107 North Hoosac Road, where Shinko Kagaya and Thomas K. O'Connor are listed as buyers, and 725 North Hoosac Road, where MountainOne Bank is listed as seller and Jean E. Langlois and Paul J. Langlois as buyers. Neither transfer disclosed a price. Three addresses, 15 Willows Lane, 310 Luce Road and 888 Hancock Road, each had more than one deed document recorded for the same property within the period, consistent with paired filings tied to a single underlying transaction. By price tier, one disclosed sale fell under $500,000 (28 Bingham Street, $180,000) and one exceeded $500,000 (888 Hancock Road, $710,100). Price data was not disclosed for the remaining 13 records.

MARKET NOTES A bank or credit union appears as grantor or grantee in at least eight of the 15 recorded transfers, including MountainOne Bank (three records), Adams Community Bank (two records), Lee Bank, Greylock Federal Credit Union, and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. together with Alliant Credit Union. Several records reflect transfers among family members or into trusts rather than open-market sales: at 15 Willows Lane, Alastair B. Revell and Tracy E. Moore transferred the property to themselves as trustees; at 59 Harrison Avenue, Brittany McInerney and Seth Hamblin transferred to Brittany McInerney as trustee of an irrevocable trust; and at 725 North Hoosac Road, the buyers share the surname Langlois. A separate filing shows Judith M. Grinnell, as trustee of a revocable trust, transferring an unaddressed Williamstown parcel to the Williamstown Rural Land Foundation Inc. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available in the deed records, so no property-type or price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made for this period.
