Buckland Deed Data Shows Wide Price Gap as Disclosed Sales Reach Only Two of Eight Transfers

BUCKLAND -- Eight property transfers recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds between May 28 and June 26, 2026, show a range of activity in Buckland, though publicly disclosed sale prices are available for just two of the eight transactions.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Eight deeds were recorded during the period, but only two carried disclosed consideration amounts — $56,000 and $100,000 — yielding a median of $78,000 based on those two figures alone. With 75 percent of transfers showing no disclosed price, the median and price range reflect an extremely limited sample and should not be read as a comprehensive picture of Buckland home values during this period. The volume of eight transfers in roughly four weeks is modest for a small rural community; several appear to be non-arm's-length transfers involving trusts, estates, or institutional parties rather than conventional market sales.
• TOP SALES
• The highest disclosed price in the period was $100,000 for the property at 23 Birch Road, sold June 8 by Charles W. Chmura to T Bank and Traders Trust Co. The buyer names suggest this may be a bank or lender transaction rather than a conventional residential purchase; deed records do not indicate the nature of the transfer beyond the parties named. The second disclosed sale, at $56,000, was 187 Lower St., sold May 29 by Courtney Gagnon and Mary Ann Powell to PAH Properties LLC.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• No two sales share the same street name in this dataset, so geographic clustering is not apparent. By price tier among the two disclosed sales, both fall under $200,000: one in the $50,000–$75,000 range (187 Lower St. at $56,000) and one in the $75,000–$125,000 range (23 Birch Road at $100,000). The remaining six transfers — on South Cemetery Road, State Street, Sears Street, Purinton Road, Lower Street, and Clesson Brook Road — carry no disclosed consideration amounts.
• MARKET NOTES
• Several transfers in the dataset follow patterns commonly associated with non-market conveyances. The Purinton Road transfer moved the property from Camille O. Cosby to the Camille O. Cosby Revocable Trust, with the same individual named on both sides. Two Lord family transfers on an unaddressed parcel and 33 South Cemetery Road, recorded the same day, involved the same two individuals exchanging or adjusting ownership. The State Street property at 9 State St. lists both Newell Block LLC and Greenfield Cooperative Bank as sellers with no buyer named in the dataset, and 116 Clesson Brook Road was sold by Greenfield Savings Bank to Donald T. and Angela C. Dodge, suggesting a post-foreclosure or REO conveyance. These patterns reduce the number of conventional open-market sales in the period to as few as one or two, limiting the data's usefulness for gauging prevailing market prices.
