Single Recorded Sale Price Emerges Among Seven Heath Property Transfers

HEATH -- Seven property transfers were recorded in Heath between July 31 and Aug. 28, but only one carried a sale price in Franklin County Registry of Deeds data as of this writing, leaving most of the month's market activity without pricing information.

MARKET OVERVIEW Seven property transfers were recorded in Heath during the period. Of those, three were nominal-consideration transfers, meaning they recorded a token amount under $10,000 and are not market sales. Three others show "price not yet available" in registry data. Only one transfer, at 114 Branch Hill Road, carried a recorded sale price: $20,000. Because that is the only transaction with a confirmed price, it also represents the low end, high end and median for the period. Based on raw transaction count, seven deeds recorded in one month is the extent of activity that can be measured from this dataset; the data does not support further characterization of pace or direction.

TOP SALES The lone recorded sale was at 114 Branch Hill Road, which transferred for $20,000 on July 31. Sellers Megan Clark Blanchette and Megan T. Clark conveyed the property to Kyle D. Clark and Daphne E. Clark. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available. No other transfer recorded in this period carries a sale price in the current dataset.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The seven transfers were spread across six named streets, with no street recording more than one transaction: 22 Cascade Drive, 20 Number Nine Road, 30 West Brook Drive, 10 Rowe Road, 114 Branch Hill Road and 99 Shawnee Drive. One additional entry was recorded for Heath without a specific street address. With only one transfer carrying a price, that sale, at 114 Branch Hill Road, is the only data point available for price-tier analysis and falls under $500,000.

MARKET NOTES Three of the seven transfers recorded nominal consideration rather than a market price. One, with no street address listed, moved from seller Michael A. Chartier to buyer Max Miller. A second, at 30 West Brook Drive, moved from seller Teresa Lee Rose to buyers Erik Lively and Jordan Lively. The third, at 99 Shawnee Drive, moved from seller Anthony Biladeau to buyers Massachusetts Electric Co. and Verizon New England Inc. The property at 10 Rowe Road was transferred by seller Greenfield Savings Bank to buyer Jane E. McHale; no price has yet been recorded for that transaction. Two further transfers, at 22 Cascade Drive and 20 Number Nine Road, also show no recorded price yet. No bed, bath or square footage data were available for any property in this period, and no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made.
