Sunderland June Median Reaches $462,300 With More Than Half of Transfer Prices Undisclosed

SUNDERLAND -- A Silver Lane home sold for $812,000 in late June, the highest disclosed price among 10 deed transfers recorded in Sunderland at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds during the period ending July 11, 2026. Only four of the 10 entries carried sale prices, and several reflect institutional, estate, or trust activity rather than arm's-length residential transactions.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry logged 10 deed transfers in Sunderland between June 12 and July 11. Prices were disclosed on four entries, ranging from $175,000 to $812,000 and producing a median of $462,300. The remaining six entries — more than half of all transfers — carried no consideration amount, a pattern common in deed records that can reflect institutional conveyances, intra-family transfers, estate activity, and mortgage instruments. Given the volume of non-disclosed entries and the non-residential character of several transfers, the median figure represents a narrow slice of period activity rather than a broad residential market signal.

TOP SALES The top recorded consideration was $812,000 at 358 South Silver Lane on June 26, with Paul F. Spinale and Pamela S. Spinale as sellers and Jeremiah Onwuzurumba and Mmaserame Gaefele as buyers. A second deed filing the same day — recorded as 358 S. Silver Lane, with Gaefele and Onwuzurumba listed as grantors and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and United Wholesale Mortgage LLC as grantees at a consideration of $649,600 — bears the hallmarks of a mortgage instrument rather than a separate property sale. MERS is a mortgage-industry title-registry entity and United Wholesale Mortgage is a national lender; that entry is included in the dataset's four priced transfers but should be understood accordingly.

At 243 Amherst Road, Cornerstone Homebuying LLC conveyed the property to PAH Properties LLC for $275,000 on June 26. The lowest disclosed price in the period was $175,000, recorded the same day at 131 Old Amherst Road, where Matthew B. and Jennifer C. Vickery sold to UMassFive College Federal Credit Union.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Old Amherst Road accounts for two of the 10 entries. In addition to the $175,000 transfer at No. 131, a June 16 deed at 7 Old Amherst Road lists Scott A. Bergeron and Janet Sawyer Bergeron, each identified as trustee, as sellers; no buyer appears in the available data. Amherst Road at No. 243 adds a third entry in that general corridor. The Silver Lane and South Silver Lane address cluster generated three separate filings on June 26 — 358 South Silver Lane, 358 S. Silver Lane, and 358 Silver Lane — all connected to the same purchase transaction and its associated mortgage recording. Montague Road, Reservation Road, and Clark Mountain Road each contributed one entry. One transfer carries no street address.

MARKET NOTES Institutional activity is a recurring feature of the period. UMassFive College Federal Credit Union appears on both sides of the ledger: as grantee from the Vickery family at 131 Old Amherst Road and as grantor at 40 Reservation Road, where William I. and Ilana L. Schmitt appear as buyers in a June 18 transfer at an undisclosed price. At 5 Clark Mountain Road, Sunderland Storage LLC transferred to Greenfield Cooperative Bank on June 23 at an undisclosed price; a commercial entity conveying to a bank as grantee can indicate loan enforcement or collateral acquisition, though the deed record alone does not establish the circumstances. Both the 243 Amherst Road transaction — Cornerstone Homebuying LLC to PAH Properties LLC — and the 131 Old Amherst Road transfer to UMassFive involve corporate or institutional grantees.

Three entries lack a named buyer in the available data: 327 Montague Road, where the estate of William J. Marini Jr. is listed as seller on a June 22 recording; 7 Old Amherst Road, the trustee transfer by the Bergerons; and 358 Silver Lane, where Gaefele and Onwuzurumba appear as sellers with no price or buyer recorded. The June 25 entry with no street address records a transfer from Sylvia J. Storozuk to Edward A. Storozuk Jr., a shared surname consistent with a family conveyance. With more than half of transfers at undisclosed prices and the four priced entries including a mortgage instrument, the dataset supports limited conclusions about residential market conditions in Sunderland for this period.
