Erving Sale Prices Span $125,000 Gap In Latest Recorded Deeds

ERVING -- Ten properties changed hands in Erving between Aug. 14 and Sept. 12, but sale prices were disclosed in only two of those transactions, according to deeds recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds. The two disclosed prices ranged from $100,000 to $225,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 10 property transfers in Erving during the period. Of those, only two deeds listed a consideration amount: $100,000 and $225,000. Based on those two figures, the median disclosed sale price was $162,500. The remaining eight transactions, 80% of the total, were recorded without a disclosed price, which is common for deeds involving lenders, mortgage servicers, or family trusts. Because disclosed pricing is limited to two transactions, the data does not support a broader conclusion about whether the period was active or quiet relative to price trends; the raw count of 10 recorded transfers in a four-week span is the clearest available measure of volume.

TOP SALES

221 North St. sold for $225,000 on Aug. 28. Seller Christian C. Sawicki conveyed the property to buyer Charles E. Mallet. Bed, bath and square footage figures are not available from deed records.

25 Swamp Rd. sold for $100,000 on Sept. 2. Sellers Mark D. Burnett and Melanie J. Burnett conveyed the property to Greenfield Cooperative Bank.

The remaining eight recorded transactions had no disclosed sale price: 18 Central St. (sold Sept. 10, seller Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Quicken Loans LLC, buyer Phyllis Hope Radcliff); 5 Cross St. (sold Sept. 8, sellers Philip M. Cyhowski and Sarah M. Cyhowski, as trustees; no buyer listed in the deed data provided); 5 East Prospect St. (sold Sept. 8, seller Onity Mortgage Corp. and PHH Mortgage Corp.; no buyer listed); 9 Laurel Ln. (sold Sept. 2, sellers Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and David Sloan; no buyer listed); 92 High St. (sold Sept. 1, seller Loan Assn of Cleveland, buyer Robert Steele); 6 Moore St. (sold Aug. 31, seller Freedom Credit Union, buyers Jessica L. Duffy and Thomas N. Duffy); 10 E Prospect St. (sold Aug. 28, seller Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Quicken Loans Inc.; no buyer listed); and 44 High St. (sold Aug. 20, sellers Freedom Mortgage Corp. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., buyers Valerie J. Haley and Ronald F. Paquette).

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Two streets had more than one recorded transaction. High Street logged two sales: 92 High St. (Sept. 1) and 44 High St. (Aug. 20). Prospect Street also logged two sales under slightly different address formatting: 5 East Prospect St. (Sept. 8) and 10 E Prospect St. (Aug. 28). All other streets, Central Street, Cross Street, Swamp Road, Laurel Lane, Moore Street and North Street, each recorded a single transaction. By price tier, both disclosed sales, $100,000 and $225,000, fall under the $500,000 mark; the eight undisclosed-price transactions cannot be placed into a tier without consideration data.

MARKET NOTES

Seven of the 10 recorded transactions listed a bank, mortgage servicer, or loan-related entity, including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., Quicken Loans, PHH Mortgage Corp., Onity Mortgage Corp., Wells Fargo Bank N.A., Loan Assn of Cleveland, Freedom Credit Union, and Freedom Mortgage Corp., as a seller or joint seller on the deed. One transaction, 5 Cross St., was recorded between two trustees, Philip M. Cyhowski and Sarah M. Cyhowski, both listed with the "TR" designation associated with a trust. Property type (single-family, condominium, or multi-family) is not specified in the deed records provided, and no square footage data was available, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made.
