Ashfield Deed Sales Show Two Disclosed Prices Both Under Fifty Thousand

ASHFIELD -- Thirteen properties changed hands in Ashfield between July 17 and August 15, according to Franklin County Registry of Deeds records, but sale prices were disclosed on only two of the deeds.

MARKET OVERVIEW Thirteen sales were recorded in Ashfield during the period. Only two transactions included a disclosed sale price, $18,641 and $47,000, producing a median of $32,820 based on those two figures. Because pricing was disclosed on just 2 of 13 deeds, sale price offers little insight into the overall market this period; transaction count is the more reliable measure available, and 13 recorded transfers in a single month represents a notable volume of activity for the town.

TOP SALES Only two transactions disclosed a sale price and can be ranked by value. 1530 Williamsburg Road sold for $47,000 on July 24. Sellers Nicole Drury and Christopher D. Drury transferred the property to Florence Bank. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record. 166 Ludwig Road sold for $18,641 on July 27. Sellers John D. McGann and Vanessa L. McGann transferred the property to Greenfield Cooperative Bank. The remaining 11 transactions recorded during the period did not disclose a sale price and cannot be ranked by value.

Leue and Andrew Plumer on July 24, and 1594 Cape St., transferred from Florence Bank and Florence Savings Bank to Daniel Dostal and Denae A. Dostal on July 22. Baptist Corner Road also saw two transactions: 1789 Baptist Corner Rd., sold by Jonathan Edward Stark and Susan Stark on July 21, and 1790 Baptist Corner Rd., transferred on August 10 with Cameron T.
