Colrain Property Transfers Offer No Price Data Across All 11 June-July Deals

COLRAIN -- Eleven property transfers were recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds in the roughly four-week period ending July 11, 2026, making it a moderately active stretch for the rural hilltowns community -- though with no consideration amounts recorded across any of the transactions, traditional market benchmarks such as median sale price remain unavailable.

MARKET OVERVIEW The period from June 12 through July 11 produced 11 recorded deeds in Colrain, a count that represents meaningful activity for a small rural town. Because every transfer in the dataset carries no disclosed consideration amount, no sale price range or median can be calculated for this period. Readers seeking pricing context should consult the Franklin County Registry of Deeds directly for any filings that may carry recorded consideration. The absence of disclosed prices is not unusual in deed data; Massachusetts does not require sellers to record a sale price on the deed itself.

TOP SALES With no consideration amounts available for any of the 11 transactions, a price-ranked top-sales list cannot be compiled for this period. Notable transfers on other grounds are addressed below and in the Market Notes section.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Jacksonville Road was the only street to appear more than once in the period, with transfers recorded at both 295 and 364 Jacksonville Rd. on June 15 and June 26, respectively. Both involved banks as either grantor or grantee, adding to the street's notable activity this month.

Beyond Jacksonville Road, transfers were spread across nine other addresses: 13 Griswoldville St., 20 Stetson Bros. Rd., 92 East Colrain Rd., 108 Main Rd., 315 West Leyden Rd., 197 Adamsville Rd., 35 Maxam Rd., and 76 East Catamount Hill Rd. One entry in the dataset carries no street address and is listed only as Colrain, MA; it was recorded July 7 and shares a seller -- Jade L. Mortimer -- with the 13 Griswoldville St. transfer recorded the same day, suggesting the two entries may be related to the same parcel or transaction.

MARKET NOTES Several structural patterns in the data are worth noting, independent of price.

Three of the 11 transfers appear to involve the conversion of property into or out of trusts with no change in beneficial ownership. At 315 West Leyden Rd., Karen K. Kane transferred the property to herself as trustee of the Kane Investment Trust -- a common estate-planning mechanism. At 76 East Catamount Hill Rd., Turner T. Smith Jr. and Christine H. Perdue conveyed the property to themselves as trustees of their respective named trusts. At 108 Main Rd., trustees William J. Sieruta II and Jonathan Michael Sieruta conveyed the property to Jonathan Michael Sieruta individually, reversing a prior trust arrangement. None of these transactions necessarily reflects an arm's-length market sale.

Three additional transfers show direct bank involvement, which can indicate foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or bank-owned property sales. At 35 Maxam Rd., Shannon D. and Shannon G. Hager conveyed the property to PNC Bank NA on June 22 -- a pattern consistent with a deed-in-lieu arrangement or a foreclosure-related transfer to a lender. At 295 Jacksonville Rd., Florence Savings Bank conveyed the property to Diana M. Kocot on June 15, and at 364 Jacksonville Rd., Greenfield Cooperative Bank conveyed the property to Christopher L. Pelletier and Betty A. Ringwood on June 26. Both bank-to-buyer transfers on Jacksonville Road are consistent with the sale of bank-owned real estate following prior foreclosure proceedings, though the deed records alone do not confirm that characterization.

The transfer at 197 Adamsville Rd. was executed by Judith Elaine Mannies through an attorney-in-fact, which can indicate the seller was unable to appear in person due to age, illness, or other circumstances. Tammy L. Peavy is listed as the buyer. No motivation can be attributed from deed records alone.

The remaining transfers -- at 20 Stetson Bros. Rd. and 92 East Colrain Rd. -- list sellers but no buyers in the available dataset, which may reflect incomplete data extraction rather than an absence of a grantee on the underlying deed.

Taken together, the month's transfers suggest a mix of estate planning, possible financial-distress activity, and what may be a handful of conventional sales -- though without disclosed prices, the market's pricing direction cannot be assessed from this data alone.
