Only disclosed Hawley sale price holds steady at $300,000 in July

HAWLEY -- Hawley's registry of deeds recorded three property transfers between July 3 and Aug. 1, but only one carried a disclosed sale price, limiting what the data shows about the local market's direction this month.

MARKET OVERVIEW Three sales were recorded in the period. Only one of the three, the July 17 transfer at 7 Clark Rd., included a disclosed consideration amount: $300,000. That figure is therefore both the low and high end of the disclosed price range and the reported median. The other two transactions, at 334 West Hawley Rd. and 49 East Rd., carried no disclosed sale price, which is common for certain deed types in Massachusetts records. With price data available for only one of three sales, the raw count alone is not enough to characterize the period as active or quiet.

TOP SALES 7 Clark Rd. sold for $300,000 on July 17. The seller was listed as Joshua E. Davidson, trustee; no buyer name was provided in the deed data.

334 West Hawley Rd. transferred on July 29 from the Hawley Town Treasurer to Michael Schmitt. Price not disclosed.

49 East Rd. transferred on July 27 from Garrett J. Kopeski to Hawley View LLC. Price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The three sales occurred on three separate streets -- West Hawley Road, East Road and Clark Road -- with no street-level clustering this period. By price tier, the single disclosed sale, at $300,000, falls under the $500,000 mark. The pricing status of the other two transactions cannot be tiered without a disclosed amount.

MARKET NOTES The West Hawley Road transfer's seller of record is the Hawley Town Treasurer, indicating a municipal transaction, such as a tax title conveyance, rather than a private sale. The East Road property transferred to a limited liability company, Hawley View LLC, rather than an individual buyer. The Clark Road property transferred from a seller listed in trustee capacity. Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from deed records for any of the three properties, and no buyer was listed for the Clark Road transfer. With two of three prices undisclosed, this month's data offers a limited basis for broader pricing conclusions.
