Leyden Records Eight Property Transfers in Late Summer With No Prices Disclosed

LEYDEN -- Eight deeds were recorded in Leyden over the four weeks ending Aug. 22, and none of them listed a sale price, leaving this month's roundup without a price range, median, or top-sale ranking to report.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Franklin County Registry of Deeds recorded eight property transfers in Leyden between July 24 and Aug. 22. All eight listed "price not disclosed," so no price range or median sale price can be calculated for the period. By count alone, the four-week span averaged two recorded transfers per week. The absence of consideration amounts on every filing is itself the notable feature of this period; no assessment of pricing trends is possible from this dataset.

TOP SALES Because no transaction in this period disclosed a sale price, deeds cannot be ranked by value this month. The eight transfers, in order of recording date, were: 460 North County Road, sold Aug. 20, transferred from Arthur E. Chapin and Marilyn Chapin to Jack E. Chapin and Kari Chapin, price not disclosed. 63 West Leyden Road, sold Aug. 20, transferred from Michael Dagilus to the Leyden Town Assessors, price not disclosed. 24 Keets Brook Road, sold Aug. 18, transferred from Devorah Vester and Donald Sadowsky, as trustees, to Powerpay LLC, price not disclosed. 211 N. County Road, sold Aug. 17, transferred from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. to Michael P. McGoldrick and Cynthia J. McGoldrick, price not disclosed. 79 S. Schoolhouse Road, sold Aug. 7, transferred from CMG Mortgage Inc. and CMG Home Loans to Daniel Howard and Janell Howard, price not disclosed.

MARKET NOTES lists the remaining three transfers.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN County Road corridor: Three of the eight transfers were on County Road, split between the north and south segments. Two were on North County Road/N. County Road (460 North County Road and 211 N. County Road), and one was on South County Road (95 South County Road). Schoolhouse Road: Two transfers were on South Schoolhouse Road, at 79 S. Schoolhouse Road and 119 South Schoolhouse Road. Other streets: Single transfers were recorded on West Leyden Road (63 West Leyden Road) and Keets Brook Road (24 Keets Brook Road). One deed, transferring a property between members of the Provost family, was recorded without a specific street address in the available data.

MARKET NOTES No beds, baths, or square footage figures are available from deed records, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made this period. Property type also cannot be determined from the data provided. Two transfers show shared surnames between grantor and grantee: 460 North County Road passed from Arthur E. and Marilyn Chapin to Jack E. and Kari Chapin, and the unaddressed Leyden property passed from Marcia M. Provost and Phillip H. Mowry to Robert D. and Jessica L. Provost. The Keets Brook Road transfer involved sellers listed as trustees, Devorah Vester and Donald Sadowsky, conveying to Powerpay LLC, a limited liability company rather than an individual buyer. Two sellers listed on deeds were mortgage-related entities rather than individuals: Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (211 N. County Road) and CMG Mortgage Inc. and CMG Home Loans (79 S. Schoolhouse Road). Municipal government appears on two deeds: the Leyden Town Assessors acquired 63 West Leyden Road from Michael Dagilus, and the Leyden Town Treasurer conveyed 119 South Schoolhouse Road to Kenneth A. Elliott Jr.
