Sunderland Home Tops $800,000 but Most June Sales Prices Stay Private

SUNDERLAND -- A single residential sale at $812,000 headlined a busy month of deed activity in Sunderland, even as 11 of 13 recorded transactions carried no disclosed consideration. The month's volume was notable, but the near-absence of public pricing makes a full market read difficult.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Thirteen deeds were recorded in Sunderland between June 6 and July 5, 2026, representing one of the more active single-month periods the registry reflects for this small Pioneer Valley town. Only two of those transfers carried a disclosed sale price: $812,000 and $175,000. With just two data points, a median of $493,500 can be calculated arithmetically but should be treated with caution — it reflects the midpoint of two transactions, not a broad market average. The remaining 11 transfers were recorded without consideration amounts, which is common in deed records and can reflect family conveyances, trust transfers, foreclosure-related activity, or other non-arm's-length transactions.
• TOP SALES
• The month's highest-priced disclosed transaction was 358 South Silver Lane, which sold June 26 for $812,000. Paul F. Spinale and Pamela S. Spinale were the sellers; Jeremiah Onwuzurumba and Mmaserame Gaefele were the buyers. Notably, a separate deed recorded the same day lists 358 Silver Lane — an address that may refer to the same or an adjacent parcel — also with Paul F. Spinale and Pamela S. Spinale as sellers but with no price disclosed; buyers should consult registry records directly to clarify the relationship between these two entries.

The month's only other disclosed sale was 131 Old Amherst Road, which transferred June 26 for $175,000. Sellers Matthew B. Vickery and Jennifer C. Vickery conveyed the property to UMassFive College Federal Credit Union, a transaction that may reflect a lender-related conveyance rather than a standard residential purchase.

• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Montague Road accounted for two recorded transfers — 159 and 173 Montague Road, both sold June 11 with seller Donald F. Patterson on both deeds and no prices disclosed on either; the back-to-back same-seller, same-day pattern is notable. Old Amherst Road also saw two recorded transfers: 131 Old Amherst Road (price disclosed at $175,000) and 134 Old Amherst Road (price not disclosed). Amherst Road produced two additional transfers at 243 and 691 Amherst Road, both with prices not disclosed. The remaining transfers were spread across South Silver Lane/Silver Lane, Clark Mountain Road, Reservation Road, and one entry with no street address recorded.
• MARKET NOTES
• Several transfers show characteristics typical of non-arm's-length conveyances. The deed at 691 Amherst Road moved from Joseph F. Ranker to Alyssa Ranker, suggesting a family transfer. The Storozuk entry — Sylvia J. Storozuk to Edward A. Storozuk Jr. — similarly carries hallmarks of an intra-family conveyance; notably, no street address was recorded for that transaction. The 5 Clark Mountain Road deed lists Sunderland Storage LLC as grantor and Greenfield Cooperative Bank as grantee, consistent with a foreclosure or lender-acquisition scenario rather than an open-market sale. The 243 Amherst Road transfer lists the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as seller, which typically indicates a disposition of a previously foreclosed FHA-insured property. The 7 Old Amherst Road deed lists trustees as sellers, consistent with a trust conveyance. The 327 Montague Road entry lists an estate as seller. These patterns, taken together, mean the majority of June's recorded activity does not straightforwardly represent open-market residential sales at arm's length.
