Most September Greenfield Property Sellers Were Banks Or Mortgage Servicers

GREENFIELD -- Nine property deeds were recorded in Greenfield between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3, but only one so far shows a sale price in registry records. Banks or mortgage-servicing companies were listed as the seller in seven of the nine transactions.

MARKET OVERVIEW Nine property deeds were recorded in Greenfield from Sept. 4 through Oct. 3. Only one of those nine, a transfer listed with no street address, shows a sale price in the data so far: $60,000. That single recorded price is, by definition, both the low and high end of the range and the median for the period. The remaining eight transactions list price not yet available, which is normal: sale prices typically appear in registry data within about a week of recording, and some of this period's deeds were recorded as recently as Oct. 3. Based on the raw count alone, nine recorded transfers is the only volume figure available; this dataset does not include prior-month or regional figures against which to judge the period.

TOP SALES The lone transaction with a recorded price is a $60,000 sale at an address listed only as Greenfield, MA, with no street address given in deed records. The seller is Juan Michael Ervie Gonzales; the buyer is Greenfield Savings Bank. No bed, bath or square-footage data is available from deed records. Pricing for the remaining eight transactions, including sales on Mohawk Trail, Hope Street, Cedar Street, Water Street, Newton Street, Lovers Lane and Homestead Avenue, had not yet posted to the registry as of this report.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Hope Street saw two separate transfers this period, at 225 Hope St. and 75 Hope St., both with price not yet available. The remaining seven transactions were spread across seven different streets, Mohawk Trail, Lovers Lane, Newton Street, Cedar Street, Water Street, Homestead Avenue, plus the one transfer listed without a street address, with one sale recorded on each. Because only one transaction carries a confirmed price, sales cannot yet be grouped by price tier.

MARKET NOTES Banks or mortgage-servicing companies were listed as the seller in seven of the nine recorded transfers: Rocket Mortgage LLC (470 Mohawk Trl.), TruNorth Bank and BankESB (105 Newton St.), Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (225 Hope St., and jointly with Merrimack Mortgage Co Inc. at 53 Homestead Ave.), PNC Mortgage and PNC Bank NA (75 Hope St.), and Greenfield Cooperative Bank, which was the seller in two separate transfers, 36 Cedar St. and 16 Water St. Two transfers, at 59 Lovers Ln. and 225 Hope St., list a seller but no buyer in the available data. No bed, bath, square-footage or property-type data is available from deed records this period, so no price-per-square-foot or housing-type comparisons can be made.
