Leyden's Only Confirmed August Sale Closes Under $53,000, Setting Early Benchmark

LEYDEN -- Four properties in Leyden changed hands between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19, according to deeds recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds, but pricing information has posted for only one of the transactions so far.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded four sales in Leyden during the period. Of those, one sale price has posted to date: $52,697 for the property at 377 N County Rd. The other three sales have not yet had a price recorded, which is typical for deed data and usually reflects a short lag before the registry's system reflects the consideration amount, generally about a week. Because only one price is on record, that $52,697 figure stands as both the low and high end of the confirmed range and as the median. Based on the raw count of four recorded transfers over roughly a month, the period appears quiet, though the incomplete pricing data limits any broader read on market conditions.

TOP SALES The only sale with a confirmed price is 377 N County Rd, which sold for $52,697 on Aug. 28. The seller is listed as Jane A. Mogelinski, also recorded as Jane A. Thompson, and the buyer is listed as Redevelopment A.

The remaining three sales carry no price yet available: 53 South Schoolhouse Rd sold Aug. 28, with sellers Timothy J. Haringa Sr. and Lorrain Haringa; no buyer was listed in the deed data. 354 East Hill Rd sold Aug. 25. The seller is Franklin First Federal Credit Union, and the buyer is listed as Kelly A. Rosazza, also recorded as Kelly Rosazza. 660 Greenfield Rd sold Aug. 24, with sellers Joshua Harker and Heather Powers; no buyer was listed in the deed data.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The four sales occurred on four different streets: N County Road, South Schoolhouse Road, East Hill Road and Greenfield Road. No street had more than one recorded sale, so no geographic clustering emerged this period. On price tier, the lone confirmed sale, at $52,697, falls under $100,000. The other three sales cannot be tiered until their prices post.

MARKET NOTES One of the four transactions, at 354 East Hill Rd, listed a financial institution, Franklin First Federal Credit Union, as the seller. Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from deed records for any of the four properties, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons or property-type breakdowns can be made this period. With three of four prices still pending, this month's data offers only a partial picture of sale values in town.
