West Stockbridge Records 10 Deeds in June Period but No Open-Market Sale Prices

WEST STOCKBRIDGE -- Of 10 property transfers recorded in West Stockbridge between May 28 and June 26, 2026, only two carried disclosed sale prices, and both appear linked to lender or creditor transactions rather than conventional market sales, limiting what the deed record reveals about prevailing home values in the village.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Ten deeds were recorded during the period, but eight carried no disclosed consideration. Of the two transactions with stated prices, the higher — $25,000 at 17 Albany Rd. — transferred the property to NBT Bank NA, consistent with a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu arrangement. The lower, $11,880, listed Capital One NA and Discover Bank as buyers with no street address attached, suggesting a lien-related filing rather than a conventional home purchase. A median of $18,440 can be calculated from these two figures, but it does not reflect open-market conditions and should not be used as a benchmark for property values in West Stockbridge. The period's raw volume of 10 transfers is modest; the absence of arm's-length price data makes market-tone assessment impossible from this dataset alone.
• TOP SALES
• No conventional arm's-length sales with disclosed prices were recorded during the period. The sole deed with a property address and stated price was 17 Albany Rd., which transferred from Kevin Michael Norton and Paige Marie Norton to NBT Bank NA for $25,000 on June 11. The second priced transaction, recorded June 8, listed Capital One NA and Discover Bank as grantees for $11,880 but carried no street address in the deed record.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Great Barrington Road accounted for three recorded transfers during the period, the highest concentration of any street. Two deeds — recorded the same day, May 29 — reference 276 Great Barrington Rd. with different seller pairs (Jon and Kristin Piasecki; Hara Dracon Charlier and Russell Edward Charlier), which may reflect sequential or related transfers on the same parcel. A third Great Barrington Rd. transfer, at 258, moved from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and CrossCountry Mortgage LLC to David Ott and Isabelle Foster on June 8. West Center Road also recorded two entries: 139 West Center Rd. transferred from North Brookfield Savings Bank to Michael J. Thiemann and Carol A. McKenna on June 9, one day after a separate deed at the same address transferred from Everbright LLC to Michael Thiemann — a sequence that may indicate a title chain rather than independent sales. Stockbridge Road, Albany Road, Moscow Road, and Albany Road each had single recorded transfers.
• MARKET NOTES
• The predominance of lender, servicer, and creditor names — NBT Bank NA, North Brookfield Savings Bank, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., CrossCountry Mortgage LLC, Capital One NA, Discover Bank — among grantors and grantees across multiple entries indicates that a significant share of this period's deed activity involved mortgage-related legal transfers rather than buyer-seller market transactions. The estate transfer at 21 Stockbridge Rd., where the seller is identified as the estate of Roland Llewellyn Dudney with a personal representative, follows a pattern typical of probate conveyances. No square footage or property-type data is available from deed records, so price-per-square-foot analysis and property-type breakdowns cannot be completed for this period.
