October Erving Deed Prices Stay Low, Topping Out At $130,000

ERVING -- Ten property transfers were recorded in Erving during October, with sale prices ranging from $25,000 to $130,000 among the five deeds that carried a listed price so far, and banks or credit unions appearing as a buyer or seller in half of all recorded transactions.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Of the 10 deeds recorded in Erving between Oct. 2 and Oct. 31, five carried a recorded sale price. Among those, prices ranged from $25,000 to $130,000, with a median of $40,000. The remaining five transfers show no price yet, which typically reflects a lag in registry data reaching the system rather than any attempt to withhold figures. Ten recorded transfers is a modest but notable count for a single month in a small town; whether that represents an active or quiet period cannot be determined without comparison to prior months' data.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was 28 Forest St., which sold for $130,000. The sellers were Glenn T. McCrory and Kathy A. McCrory; the buyer was Franklin First Federal Credit Union. At 5 West High St., the property sold for $100,000; sellers were Stanley Smith and Troy Santerre, and the buyer was Pacled Properties Inc. The sale at 69 West Main St. closed at $40,000, with sellers Teresa A. Wrisley and Teresa A. Emery and buyer Greenfield Cooperative Bank. At 4 Prospect Heights Lane, the property transferred for $25,001; sellers Philip E. Johnson TR and Esther Johnson TR conveyed to buyers Com LLC and Dart Collateral Manager LLC. The lowest-priced recorded sale was 143 North St. at $25,000, with sellers Makayla Ziomek and Matthew Ziomek and buyer Operative Bank.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Two streets saw more than one transfer in October. Prospect Heights Lane had two recorded transactions: the $25,001 sale at No. 4 and a transfer at 11 Prospect Heights Lane in which Citizens Bank NA conveyed the property to John E. St. Hilaire Jr. and Kelly R. St. Hilaire; no price has yet been recorded for that transfer. North Street also had two transfers: the $25,000 sale at 143 North St. and a transfer at 25 North St. from seller Henry Balzarini, which carries no recorded price. All five sales with recorded prices fell between $25,000 and $130,000, a narrow band that left no clear tier separation to report.

MARKET NOTES

No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage data was available for any property in this dataset, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made. Five of the 10 recorded transfers involved a bank or credit union as either buyer or seller: Greenfield Cooperative Bank bought 69 West Main St., Citizens Bank NA sold 11 Prospect Heights Lane, Greenfield Savings Bank sold 16 Prospect St. to Sara E. Campbell, Operative Bank bought 143 North St., and Franklin First Federal Credit Union bought 28 Forest St. A sixth transfer, at 4 Prospect Heights Lane, involved Dart Collateral Manager LLC as a buyer alongside Com LLC. The deed records do not indicate property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) for any of the listed addresses, and no transfers in this batch were marked as nominal-consideration transfers.
