Three Priced Sales in Shutesbury Range From $64,190 to $117,314

SHUTESBURY -- Fourteen property deeds were recorded in Shutesbury over the past month, but sale prices have reached the registry for only three of them so far, ranging from $64,190 to $117,314.

MARKET OVERVIEW Fourteen deeds were recorded in Shutesbury between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10. Three of those carry a recorded sale price, ranging from $64,190 to $117,314, with a median of $100,000. The remaining 11 transactions have no price on file yet. That is normal: prices typically appear in registry data within about a week of recording, and an absent price does not mean one was withheld. Based on the raw count alone, 14 recorded transfers in a single month is a substantial volume of activity for a town of Shutesbury's size, though this dataset does not include prior months for comparison.

TOP SALES All three sales with a recorded price listed a bank or mortgage company as the buyer. 1. 13 Great Pines Dr. Ext. sold for $117,314 on Sept. 11. Sellers were Gary Jekanowski and Patricia Jekanowski; buyers were Rocket Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. 2. 450 Pelham Hill Rd. sold for $100,000 on Sept. 24. Sellers were Jason A. Grant and Kasey Grant; the buyer was PeoplesBank. 3. 160 Wendell Rd. sold for $64,190 on Sept. 11. Sellers were Louis E. Raboin and Mary A. Raboin; the buyer was PeoplesBank. No other transfers recorded this period have a price on file.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Leverett Road accounted for three of the month's 14 transfers, the most of any street: 230 Leverett Rd. (Sept. 29), 288 Leverett Rd. (Sept. 28) and 202 Leverett Rd. (Sept. 24). Pelham Hill Road had two, 354 Pelham Hill Rd. (Sept. 21) and 450 Pelham Hill Rd. (Sept. 24), the latter one of the three sales with a recorded price. The remaining nine transfers were spread across Round Hills Road, January Hills Road, Lakeview Road, Lake Drive, Pratt Corner Road, Wyola Drive, Great Pines Drive Ext., Wendell Road and one listing with no street address given.

MARKET NOTES Beds, baths and square footage are not available from deed records, and prices are missing for 11 of the 14 transfers, which limits any price-per-square-foot or property-type analysis this month. Several transfers involved trusts or estates: the sellers at 98 January Hills Rd. and 145 Lakeview Rd. are listed as estates, and the buyers at 9 Round Hills Rd. and 230 Leverett Rd. are listed as trustees. At 202 Leverett Rd., the sellers (Montanari John A and Tarlow Karen A) and the buyer (Montanari Abolee J) share a surname. Ziporah Hildebrandt is listed as a seller in two separate transfers recorded two days apart on Sept. 21, one at a Shutesbury address with no street number given and one at 354 Pelham Hill Rd.
