Charlemont June Sales Top Out at $325,000 as Most Transfer Prices Remain Undisclosed

CHARLEMONT -- Ten property transfers recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds between June 18 and June 30, 2026, point to steady turnover for a small rural community, though only two of the ten transactions carried disclosed sale prices, sharply limiting what the data reveals about current market values.

MARKET OVERVIEW Charlemont saw 10 deeds recorded over a 13-day span in late June 2026. Of those, two included stated consideration amounts: $200,000 and $325,000, placing the median for price-disclosed sales at $262,500. The remaining eight transfers carried no disclosed price, whether because they involved institutional parties, trust conveyances, or other arrangements that do not require a stated consideration under Massachusetts recording practice. The volume -- 10 transfers in under two weeks -- is notable for a small town, but with 80 percent of prices undisclosed, drawing conclusions about where Charlemont values stand requires caution.

TOP SALES The period's highest recorded transaction was the sale of 60 South River Road, Unit E3 at Deerfield River Club Condominium, which closed June 22 for $325,000. James Roy Schaefer was the seller; Pedro Vieira was the buyer. The deed also lists Deerfield River Club Condo as a co-grantor, consistent with condo association recordkeeping.

The only other sale with a disclosed price, 89 Warfield Road, transferred June 25 for $200,000. Barry Purinton was the seller. The buyer of record was Traders Trust Co. and T Bank, a banking institution.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN South River Road generated two recorded transactions on the same day, June 22. The first was the priced condo sale at Unit E3; the second involved a separate deed from Deerfield River Club Condominium Trust and its trustee, Frank Carroll, with no price disclosed. The Harmony area also produced two transfers, both recorded June 18: 14 East Harmony Road, where JH Deerfield Valley Properties was the seller, and 14 Harmony Heights, where Warren and Charlotte Brothers were the sellers. Neither carried a disclosed price, and no buyers were listed in the deed data provided. The remaining six transactions were distributed across individual streets: 3 High Street (Fortin and Hall, sellers), 496 Tea Street (Hingham Institution for Savings, seller; Jeffrey Sparda, buyer), 247 Legate Hill Road (Annear Investment Trust, seller), and 198 Main Street (T Bank, seller; Thomas C. and Mary A. Campbell, buyers). One transfer -- involving trustees Alison and Cynthia Earle -- carried no street address in the record.

MARKET NOTES Two notable institutional patterns appear in the data. T Bank, also listed as Traders Trust Co., appears on both sides of the deed record during the period: as the buyer of 89 Warfield Road for $200,000 on June 25, and as the seller of 198 Main Street to Thomas C. and Mary A. Campbell on June 22. The deed data does not characterize the nature of these transactions, and no price was disclosed for the Main Street sale. Separately, 496 Tea Street transferred from Hingham Institution for Savings to Jeffrey Sparda -- another bank-to-individual conveyance -- also without a stated price.

Two additional transfers carry characteristics of estate or trust-related conveyances. The Annear Investment Trust conveyed 247 Legate Hill Road with no buyer listed in the available data and no price disclosed. The Earle family trustees -- Alison Earle TR and Cynthia Earle TR -- recorded a transfer with no street address and no buyer on record. Trust-to-individual or trust-to-trust transfers are common in estate planning and inheritance situations; deed records do not indicate the purpose of such conveyances.

The sole condo transaction -- Deerfield River Club Unit E3 -- is the only property type that can be identified with certainty from the deed descriptions. The remaining transactions lack sufficient property-type detail in the deed records to classify as single-family, multi-family, or other categories.
