Leverett Records Eight Property Transfers With No Sale Prices Disclosed

LEVERETT -- Eight properties changed hands in Leverett between July 24 and Aug. 22, according to deeds recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds, but none of the transactions disclosed a sale price, and four of the eight transfers directly involved a bank or mortgage company as either seller or buyer.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded eight property transfers in Leverett during the period. All eight deeds listed price not disclosed, so no price range or median sale price could be calculated for this period. Based on count alone, eight recorded transfers over a four-week span is the extent of what the data shows; no prior-period figures were provided for comparison.

TOP SALES Because no sale prices were disclosed for any of the eight transactions, they cannot be ranked by price. The following four transfers included both a named seller and a named buyer in the deed record: Evergreen Bank Group sold 249 Montague Rd. to Renee E. Freedman on Aug. 6, price not disclosed. T Bank sold 150 Dudleyville Rd. to Patrice Luzi on July 31, price not disclosed. Greenfield Savings Bank sold 32 Juggler Meadow Rd. to James R. Watson and Ann Marie Watson on July 27, price not disclosed. Claricio Valdez Jr. sold 16 Old Long Plain Rd. to Rocket Mortgage LLC on July 24, price not disclosed. The remaining four deeds listed a seller but no buyer of record: Alan J. Dupont at 363 North Leverett Rd. (Aug. 7), Nicholas C. Rattner and Sheena Salvino at 194 Montague Rd. (July 31), Robert A. Janik at 13 Cider Mill Rd. (July 29), and Jane Dreeben at 43 Long Plain Rd. (July 29).

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Montague Road accounted for two of the eight transfers this period, at 249 Montague Rd. and 194 Montague Rd. The remaining six transfers were spread across six different streets: North Leverett Road, Dudleyville Road, Cider Mill Road, Long Plain Road, Juggler Meadow Road and Old Long Plain Road, each with a single recorded sale. Long Plain Road and Old Long Plain Road are distinct streets in the dataset, each with one transfer.

MARKET NOTES Four of the eight recorded transfers, half the period's total, directly involved a financial institution as either the grantor or the grantee: Evergreen Bank Group and Greenfield Savings Bank each appear as sellers, T Bank appears as a seller, and Rocket Mortgage LLC appears as a buyer. No sale prices were disclosed in any of the eight deeds, which is common for Franklin County Registry of Deeds records and does not by itself indicate anything about the transactions' terms. No square footage, bedroom or bathroom data was available from the deed records, so price-per-square-foot or property-size comparisons could not be made this period.
