Erving's two priced sales span $260,000 range as most prices await registry filing

ERVING -- Eleven properties in Erving changed hands between Sept. 18 and Oct. 17, according to deeds recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds, but only two of those transactions carry a recorded sale price so far, including the period's top sale on Northfield Road.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded 11 property transfers in Erving during the period, but only two carry a sale price at this writing: $50,000 and $310,000, a range of $260,000. The midpoint of those two figures is $180,000. Because nine of the 11 transactions have not yet had consideration amounts posted to the registry, that figure should not be read as representative of the full month's market; it reflects only the two priced sales recorded so far. Raw transaction count was active for a single month in a small town, but the lack of pricing data for most deeds limits what conclusions can be drawn about overall market direction.

TOP SALES 3 Northfield Rd. sold for $310,000 on Oct. 2. The sellers were Peter Gregory Derivolkov and Maria Derivolkova; the buyers were TruNorth Bank and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. 8 Union St. sold for $50,000 on Oct. 1. The seller was Patrick J. Chase; the buyer was Citizens Bank NA. The remaining nine recorded transfers, listed below by street, do not yet show a sale price in the registry data.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Northfield Road saw two transfers this period: the $310,000 sale at 3 Northfield Rd. on Oct. 2, and a transfer at 25 Northfield Rd. on Sept. 18 involving sellers Douglass Baker and Maria Manouvelos, with no price yet recorded. Mountain Road also saw two transfers: 44 Mountain Rd. on Sept. 30, involving seller "Redevelopment A" and Crosscountry Mortgage LLC, and 60 Mountain Rd. on Sept. 24, with sellers Donald J. Perkins and Theresa M. Perkins. Neither carries a recorded price yet. Single transfers were also recorded at 191 Old State Rd. (Sept. 24; estate transfer from the Beverly Andersen estate, Richard Hall as personal representative), 2 Central St. (Sept. 24; from the Lance R. Bugbee Revocable Trust, with Lance R. Bugbee as trustee), 27 Maple Ave. (Sept. 24; sellers Nichole Stebbins and Neil M. Stebbins), 58 State Rd. (Sept. 24; seller Franklin First Federal Credit Union, buyer Brian Campbell), 16 Prospect St. (Sept. 18; sellers Katie Thompson and Brandon Bryant), and a parcel listed only as "Erving, MA" (Sept. 22; seller Old State Road LLC and Massachusetts Community Transportation). None of these five carry a recorded price yet. Of the two priced sales, both fall under $500,000; no priced sales exceeded that threshold this period.

MARKET NOTES Several of this month's deeds involve banks, credit unions or mortgage-related entities as either buyer or seller, including TruNorth Bank and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (3 Northfield Rd.), Citizens Bank NA (8 Union St.), Crosscountry Mortgage LLC (44 Mountain Rd.), and Franklin First Federal Credit Union (58 State Rd.). Two transfers involved trusts or estates: the Beverly Andersen estate at 191 Old State Rd., with Richard Hall serving as personal representative, and the Lance R. Bugbee Revocable Trust at 2 Central St., with Lance R. Bugbee as trustee. The 27 Maple Ave. transfer involved two sellers sharing the Stebbins surname. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed data for any property this period.
