Only One October Deed Among Nine Shows a Recorded Sale Price

LEVERETT -- Nine property transfers were recorded in Leverett during October, but the Franklin County Registry of Deeds has posted a sale price for only one of them, limiting what can be said about the month's market so far.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Nine transactions were recorded in Leverett between Oct. 2 and Oct. 31. Only one, the Oct. 15 sale of 13 Still Corner Road for $300,000, carries a recorded consideration amount. The remaining eight entries show price not yet available, which is common for recently filed deeds and typically resolves within about a week of recording. With only one priced sale, a meaningful price range or median across the full month cannot be calculated; the single recorded sale stands at $300,000. Based on the raw count alone, nine recorded deeds is a measurable volume of activity for the town, though whether that reflects an active or quiet month cannot be determined without comparison data.

TOP SALES

13 Still Corner Road sold for $300,000 on Oct. 15. The sellers were Clifford Whitcomb and Leslie Whitcomb; the buyers were Pennymac Loan Services LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available from the deed record. No other October transaction has a recorded sale price yet, so a ranked list of additional top sales cannot be produced this month.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Long Hill Road saw two transfers in October: 38 Long Hill Road (sellers Elisabeth Jean Wood and Samuel S. Bowles, recorded Oct. 15) and 51 Long Hill Road (seller T Bank; buyers Kevin M. Murray and Mauleverer Murray, recorded Oct. 2). Both are listed with price not yet available. The remaining seven transactions are spread across individual streets, including Richardson Road, Teawaddle Hill Road, Ryans Hill Road, Long Plain Road and North Leverett Road, with no other street showing more than one transfer. Because only one sale has a recorded price, the data cannot support a breakdown by price tier this month.

MARKET NOTES

Of the nine transactions, most list individual sellers, but two involve institutional or organizational parties: the Oct. 2 transfer at 63 North Leverett Road lists Friends of North Leverett Sawmill Inc. and Greenfield Cooperative Bank as sellers, and the Oct. 2 transfer at 51 Long Hill Road lists T Bank as seller. The Oct. 15 sale at 13 Still Corner Road lists Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as a buyer alongside Pennymac Loan Services LLC. One entry, the Oct. 19 transfer tied to the estate of Elaine C. Barker at 40 Teawaddle Hill Road, is identified in deed records as an estate transfer based on the "EST" designation in the seller's name. No square footage, bed or bath data was available in the registry records provided, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made this month.
