Price Data Missing for Six of Seven Deerfield Deeds This Period

DEERFIELD -- Seven property transfers recorded in Deerfield between Aug. 28 and Sept. 26, but only one carried a sale price by the time records were compiled, a reminder that price data typically trails a deed's recording date by about a week.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The Franklin County Registry of Deeds recorded seven transfers involving Deerfield addresses during the period. Of those, one has a posted sale price: $490,400. Because six of the seven transfers have no price on file yet, a full price range or median for the period cannot be calculated from this data set. The available price point, $490,400, is the only figure on record, not a representative range or median for the month. Sale volume alone, seven recorded transfers in a roughly four-week span, does not by itself indicate whether the period was active or quiet without price context for comparison.

TOP SALES

54 Sawmill Plain Road sold for $490,400 on Aug. 31. The sellers were listed as Sarah Hodgkins and Donald Hodgkins; the buyers were listed as TruNorth Bank and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed record.

The remaining six recorded transfers have no sale price available yet, so they cannot be ranked among the period's top sales. They are: 138 North Main St. (sold Aug. 31, seller Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and HarborOne Mortgage LLC, buyer Allison L. Howard); 151 North Main St. (sold Aug. 31, seller Marek Tresnak); 83 Sugarloaf St. (sold Aug. 28, seller Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Quicken Loans LLC); 97 Stillwater Road (sold Aug. 28, seller T Bank and Roxy Corp Inc.); 21 Meadow Wood Drive (sold Aug. 28, seller Keith D. Bevan and Cassandra R. Bevan); and 91 Stillwater Road (sold Aug. 28, seller Massachusetts Attorney General and John W. Romanowski).

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Stillwater Road accounted for two of the seven transfers, at 91 and 97 Stillwater Road, both recorded Aug. 28. North Main Street also accounted for two transfers, at 138 and 151 North Main St., both recorded Aug. 31. The remaining three transfers, at Sawmill Plain Road, Sugarloaf Street and Meadow Wood Drive, were on separate streets. With price data available for only one of the seven properties, a breakdown by price tier is not possible this period.

MARKET NOTES

Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. appears as a party, either grantor or grantee, in three of the seven recorded transfers: 54 Sawmill Plain Road, 138 North Main St. and 83 Sugarloaf St. Bank or lending entities also appear as sellers in the records for 97 Stillwater Road (T Bank) and 91 Stillwater Road (Massachusetts Attorney General as a listed party). That means a majority of this period's recorded Deerfield transfers involved financial institutions or government entities as a named party, rather than being straightforward transfers between private individuals. Property type, single-family, condominium or multi-family, was not specified in any of the seven records, and no square footage figures were available to calculate price-per-square-foot comparisons.
