Erving Home Prices Range From $100,000 To $300,000 In Latest Recorded Sales

ERVING -- Eight properties changed hands in Erving between July 24 and Aug. 22, according to deeds recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds, but sale prices were disclosed in only four of those transactions, ranging from $100,000 to $300,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded eight total property transfers in Erving during the period. Of those, four listed a sale price and four did not, which is typical for deed records that include refinancing, foreclosure-related, or intra-family transfers alongside standard sales. Among the four disclosed prices, the range ran from $100,000 to $300,000, with a median of $209,523. Eight recorded deeds is a modest volume for a roughly one-month span in a small town; no prior-month figures are available for comparison, so it is not possible to say whether this represents an increase or decrease in activity.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was 63 French King Highway, which sold for $300,000 on July 30. The seller was listed as Ralph W. Semb, trustee, and the Weatherheads Trust; the buyer was Greenfield Savings Bank. At 44 High St., the property sold for $215,000 on Aug. 3; the seller was Christopher Robert Vezina Jr., and the buyers were the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. The property at 18 Central St. sold for $204,047 on July 24; the seller was Phyllis Hope Radcliff, and the buyers were Rocket Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. The lowest disclosed sale was 1 Moore St., which sold for $100,000 on July 29; the seller was Kimberly M. Skyrm, and the buyer was UMassFive College Federal Credit Union.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Moore Street was the only street with more than one recorded transaction in the period: 1 Moore St. sold for $100,000, while 6 Moore St., sold the same day, July 29, did not have a disclosed price. The remaining six transactions were spread across six different streets, one sale each: High Street, West High Street, River Road, French King Highway, Mountain Road and Central Street.

By price tier among the disclosed sales: one transaction fell under $150,000 (1 Moore St., $100,000); two fell between $150,000 and $250,000 (44 High St. at $215,000 and 18 Central St. at $204,047); and one exceeded $250,000 (63 French King Highway at $300,000). The four transactions without a disclosed price cannot be sorted into a tier.

MARKET NOTES

Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed data for any of the eight transactions, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made. Five of the eight recorded transactions listed Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. or a bank or credit union as a buyer or seller: 44 High St., 63 French King Highway, 1 Moore St., 90 Mountain Road and 18 Central St. One transaction, 17 West High St., listed a limited liability company, Appleton Grove LLC, as the buyer, with no seller listed in the record. No trust or estate transfers within the same family were identified in this period's data.
