Conway September Sales Show Wide Price Split Between Two Recorded Deeds

CONWAY -- Twelve properties changed hands in Conway between Aug. 28 and Sept. 26, according to deeds recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds, but a sale price was available for only two of those transactions as of this report.

MARKET OVERVIEW Of the 12 recorded transfers, two carried a sale price: $221,500 for a property on Mathews Road and $788,000 for a home on Whately Glen Road. Based on those two figures, the sale price range for the period runs from $221,500 to $788,000, with a midpoint of $504,750. The remaining 10 transactions, recorded between Sept. 1 and Sept. 23, list no consideration amount yet; that price data typically appears at the registry within about a week of recording. With sale prices attached to only two of 12 deeds, the raw count of 12 recorded transfers is the clearest read on activity for the period.

TOP SALES 40 Whately Glen Rd sold for $788,000 on Sept. 1. Sellers Joshua Weil and Jennifer Weil conveyed the property to buyer Charles H. Blanker. 32 Mathews Rd sold for $221,500 on Sept. 15. Sellers Sarah C. Miner and Patrick L. Miner conveyed the property to Greenfield Savings Bank. Price data was not yet available for the other 10 recorded transfers in the period, including sales on Ashfield Road, Emerson Hollow Road, Dacey Road, Bardswell Ferry Road, Rivers Edge Drive, Jones Corner Road, Main Poland Road, Boyden Road and Williamsburg Road, so a complete ranking of the period's highest-priced sales is not yet possible.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No two recorded sales this period shared a street name, so no single road stood out for transaction volume. By price tier, the two sales with recorded prices split across a wide range: one under $500,000 (Mathews Road, $221,500) and one over $500,000 (Whately Glen Road, $788,000). The remaining 10 transfers, spread across Ashfield Road, Emerson Hollow Road, Dacey Road, Bardswell Ferry Road, Rivers Edge Drive, Jones Corner Road, Main Poland Road, Boyden Road, Williamsburg Road and one entry recorded without a specific street address, have no price data yet to sort into tiers.

MARKET NOTES Four of the 12 recorded transfers list a bank or mortgage company as the seller: Greenfield Cooperative Bank (112 Emerson Hollow Rd), Franklin First Federal Credit Union (1049 Bardswell Ferry Rd), Amerisave Mortgage Corp. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (66 Jones Corner Rd), and Florence Bank and Florence Savings Bank (120 Main Poland Rd). A fifth transfer lists Greenfield Savings Bank as the buyer, on the Mathews Road sale. One transfer, at 511 Boyden Rd, moved from a trust, the Larry T. Shwartz Family Trust with Larry T. Shwartz as trustee, to family members Rebecca Shwartz and Caleb Spiegel. Another, at 85 Dacey Rd, conveyed from Dacey Farm Real Estate Holdings LLC to the Conway Town Assessors. A 12th entry lists Annamarie V. Brooks and Conway Town Taxes as parties but no street address in the available data. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed data for any property in this period.
