Erving Sale Prices Span $25,000 to $325,000 in Latest Month of Deeds

ERVING -- Ten properties changed hands in Erving between Sept. 25 and Oct. 24, with recorded sale prices ranging from $25,000 to $325,000 and four of the ten transactions naming a bank or credit union as the buyer.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Ten sales were recorded during the period, six of which carry a sale price in the registry so far; the other four show "price not yet available." Among the six priced sales, the range runs from $25,000 to $325,000, with a median of $75,000. A count of ten recorded deeds in a single month is a notable volume for a small town, though the mix of prices, several in the tens of thousands of dollars, points to a batch dominated by bank-related and distressed-property transfers rather than conventional owner-to-owner sales.

TOP SALES

The month's highest-priced transaction was 191 Old State Rd, which sold for $325,000 on Oct. 15. The sellers were listed as Richard Hall, personal representative, and the estate of Beverly Andersen; the buyers were Dominic P. Carme and Jordan C. Fournier.

28 Forest St sold for $130,000 on Oct. 5. Sellers Glenn T. and Kathy A. McCrory transferred the property to Franklin First Federal Credit Union.

5 West High St sold for $100,000 on Oct. 15. Sellers Stanley Smith and Troy Santerre transferred the property to Pacled Properties Inc.

8 Union St sold for $50,000 on Oct. 1. Seller Patrick J. Chase transferred the property to Citizens Bank NA.

69 West Main St sold for $40,000 on Oct. 14. Sellers Teresa A. Wrisley and Teresa A. Emery transferred the property to Greenfield Cooperative Bank.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street in the dataset recorded more than one sale, so no single-street cluster emerged this period. Grouped by price tier: two sales fell under $50,000 (143 North St at $25,000 and 69 West Main St at $40,000); three sales fell between $50,000 and $150,000 (8 Union St at $50,000, 5 West High St at $100,000, and 28 Forest St at $130,000); and one sale topped $150,000, the $325,000 transfer at 191 Old State Rd. The remaining four properties, 11 Prospect Heights Ln, 16 Prospect St, 3 Northfield Rd, and 44 Mountain Rd, have not yet had a sale price recorded.

MARKET NOTES

Four of the ten recorded transactions, 69 West Main St, 143 North St, 28 Forest St, and 8 Union St, name a bank or credit union as the buyer: Greenfield Cooperative Bank, Operative Bank, Franklin First Federal Credit Union, and Citizens Bank NA, respectively. A fifth transaction, 11 Prospect Heights Ln, shows Citizens Bank NA as the seller, with the St. Hilaire family as buyers. One transfer, 191 Old State Rd, involved an estate and a personal representative as sellers. No bedroom, bathroom, or square-footage figures were available from the deed records for any property, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons could be made this period. The deed data does not distinguish property type beyond address, so single-family, multi-family, or condominium status could not be confirmed for any sale.
