Leyden Deed Filings Show Seven Transfers With Prices Still Pending

LEYDEN -- Seven property transfers were recorded in Leyden between Sept. 25 and Oct. 24, according to Franklin County Registry of Deeds filings, but none of the seven listed a sale price as of this reporting period.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded seven transfers in Leyden during the period. None included a consideration amount, so a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated this month. Sale prices typically appear in registry data within about a week of recording, so the absence of pricing reflects that lag rather than a lack of sales activity. Based on the raw count alone, seven recorded transfers represents the total documented activity for the period; whether that is active or quiet relative to other months cannot be determined without comparable price or count data.

TOP SALES Because no sale prices were available for any of the seven transactions, a ranking by price is not possible this period. The transfers, in order of recording date, were: 186 Glen Rd., recorded Oct. 20, seller Massachusetts Comm, buyer William C. Herron; a Leyden property with no street address listed, recorded Oct. 8, seller Luann J. Lamontagne; 72 Eden Trl., recorded Oct. 8, sellers NewRez LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., buyers Carlton D. Choiniere and Kayla M. Smith; 39 Kately Hill Rd., recorded Oct. 8, sellers Ashley Barstow and Stephanie Barstow; 164 Greenfield Rd., recorded Oct. 7, sellers Gregg Kennedy and Marybeth Kennedy; 160 Rolling Ln., recorded Oct. 2, seller Karen E. O'Neil, buyer Kathleen C. O'Neil; and 53 South Schoolhouse Rd., recorded Sept. 29, seller Julia Silverman. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed data for any property.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The seven transfers span seven different streets: Glen Road, Eden Trail, Kately Hill Road, Greenfield Road, Rolling Lane and South Schoolhouse Road, plus one entry without a listed address. No two sales shared a street name this period, so no street-level clustering emerged. A price-tier breakdown is not possible because no sale prices were available for any transaction.

MARKET NOTES Two transfers show matching surnames between parties. The Rolling Lane transfer listed Karen E. O'Neil as seller and Kathleen C. O'Neil as buyer, consistent with a same-family transfer pattern seen in deed records; the data does not indicate the reason for the transfer. The Kately Hill Road transfer listed Ashley Barstow and Stephanie Barstow as sellers with no buyer listed in the data. The Eden Trail transfer listed NewRez LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as sellers, entities commonly associated with mortgage servicing or lender-held property; the data does not specify the circumstances of the transfer. No property type information (single-family, condominium or multi-family) was available in the deed records, so a breakdown by property type cannot be reported this period.
