Sunderland Sale Prices Range Widely as Most October Transactions Await Data

SUNDERLAND -- Nine property deeds were recorded in Sunderland between Sept. 25 and Oct. 24, but sale prices were available for only two of those transactions by the time records reached the registry, ranging from $100,000 to $239,500.

MARKET OVERVIEW Nine deeds were recorded in the period. Of those, two carry a recorded sale price: $100,000 and $239,500, producing a median of $169,750 across the available data. The remaining seven transactions show no price yet, which is typical for deed records and usually means the figure has not reached the registry, generally appearing within about a week of recording. Based on raw transaction count alone, nine recorded deeds over the four-week period reflects steady, if unremarkable, filing activity for the town; a fuller read on pricing and market tone will depend on data that has not yet posted.

TOP SALES The highest-priced recorded sale was 11 School St., which sold for $239,500 on Oct. 15. The seller was listed as Greenfield Savings Bank, Trustee, and the Kathleen M. Keroack Revocable Trust; the buyer was Ian Pettys. The second-highest recorded sale was a condominium unit, 370 Montague Rd., Unit G, Pond Ridge Condo, which sold for $100,000 on Oct. 7. The seller was listed as G Pond Ridge Condo and Jillian A. Miller; the buyer was Cornerstone Bank. The remaining seven recorded transactions, at 43 Country Lane, 105 Falls Road, 82 North Silver Lane, 56 Kulessa Cross Road, 4 North Plain Road, 56 Reservation Road, and an unaddressed Sunderland parcel tied to the Standish Chard Dam and Pond, have no price data available yet and cannot be ranked among the period's top sales.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in this period had more than one recorded sale, so no street-level clustering emerged. By price tier, both sales with recorded figures, the School Street trust sale and the Montague Road condo sale, fall under $500,000. The seven transactions without price data are spread across Country Lane, Falls Road, North Silver Lane, Kulessa Cross Road, North Plain Road, Reservation Road, and one unaddressed parcel associated with the Standish Chard Dam and Pond; without pricing, these cannot be sorted into tiers.

MARKET NOTES Eight of the nine recorded transactions list a bank, credit union or mortgage company as either grantor or grantee: PeoplesBank, Greenfield Savings Bank (two transactions), Cornerstone Bank, UMassFive College Federal Credit Union, Franklin First Federal Credit Union and Member Advantage Mortgage LLC all appear in the deed data for this period. The property mix includes one condominium unit (370 Montague Rd., Unit G, Pond Ridge Condo) and one unaddressed parcel tied to the Standish Chard Dam and Pond, which does not appear to be a conventional residential sale; the remaining seven entries are street-addressed properties consistent with single-family homes, though property type is not separately confirmed in the deed data. No square footage, bedroom or bathroom data was available for any transaction, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made this period.
