Only Two Of Ten Recorded Leverett Property Sales Disclose A Price

LEVERETT -- Ten deeds were recorded in Leverett between July 17 and Aug. 15, but only two disclosed a sale price, ranging from $500 to $494,500, according to Franklin County Registry of Deeds records.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten sales were recorded in Leverett during the period. Of those, two disclosed a sale price, $494,500 and $500, producing a median of $247,500. The remaining eight transactions did not include a disclosed consideration amount, which is common in deed records and does not necessarily reflect market value. Based on raw transaction count alone, 10 recorded deeds in one month represents a notable amount of turnover for a small town, though the sparse price disclosure limits any broader read on market direction.

TOP SALES The highest-priced sale was 9 Long Hill Rd, which sold for $494,500 on July 23. The seller was listed as the Laurie Connors Trust, with Kevin M. Connors as trustee; the buyer was listed as Michael S. Gove, trustee, and the Walker Irrevocable Trust. A second transaction between the same parties, recorded the same day for an unspecified Leverett address, closed for $500. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed data. The remaining eight recorded sales, at 13 Cider Mill Rd, 43 Long Plain Rd, 32 Juggler Meadow Rd, 16 Old Long Plain Rd, 20 North Leverett Rd, 106 Jackson Hill Rd, 63 North Leverett Rd and 118 North Leverett Rd, did not disclose a sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN North Leverett Road accounted for three of the 10 sales, at 20, 63 and 118 North Leverett Rd, recorded between July 17 and July 23; none disclosed a price. The remaining seven sales were spread across seven different streets: Cider Mill Road, Long Plain Road, Juggler Meadow Road, Old Long Plain Road, Long Hill Road and Jackson Hill Road, with one sale each. By price tier, one sale topped $250,000 ($494,500), one closed under $1,000 ($500), and the price tier of the other eight sales could not be determined from available data.

MARKET NOTES A bank or mortgage lender appeared as buyer or seller in four of the 10 transactions: Greenfield Savings Bank sold to James R. and Ann Marie Watson at 32 Juggler Meadow Rd; Freedom Credit Union sold to Marielle L. Emond at 20 North Leverett Rd; Florence Bank/Florence Savings Bank sold to Adam Bauer at 106 Jackson Hill Rd; and Rocket Mortgage LLC and Guild Mortgage Co LLC appear as buyers in the 16 Old Long Plain Rd and 118 North Leverett Rd transactions, respectively. None of these four transactions disclosed a sale price. The two Long Hill Road-area transactions, one at $494,500 and one at $500, involved the same trust seller and buyer entities and were recorded on the same date, indicating related parcels conveyed as part of a single transaction. Property type, whether single-family, condominium or multi-family, could not be determined from the deed data provided, and no square footage or price-per-square-foot figures were available for comparison.
