Top Recorded Sale Hits $405,000 as Most Northfield Prices Lag

NORTHFIELD -- Eight property transfers were recorded in Northfield during the past month, but only three carry a sale price so far, with the top recorded sale reaching $405,000 on Lyman Road.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The Franklin County Registry of Deeds recorded eight Northfield transfers between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10. Of those, three carry a recorded sale price, ranging from $63,474 to $405,000, with a median of $294,693 among the three. The remaining five show price not yet available, which is typical when a sale price has not yet reached the registry. With five of eight entries still missing price data, the sample is too thin to characterize the month as active or quiet based on dollar figures alone; the raw count of eight recorded transfers is the only firm volume signal available.

TOP SALES

80 Lyman Road sold for $405,000 on Sept. 15. Seller Cynthia Tolbert transferred the property to Blue Water Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc.

142 West Northfield Road sold for $294,693 on Sept. 11. Seller Amanda Martin transferred the property to Greenfield Savings Bank.

74 Pierson Road sold for $63,474 on Sept. 15. Seller Nicholas Peduzzi transferred the property to Com LLC and Dart Collateral Manager LLC.

No other transfers in the dataset carry a recorded price this period.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Hinsdale Road: Three separate transfers were recorded on the same street on Sept. 11, at 98, 108 and 118 Hinsdale Road. All three list Nourse Realty LLC or Nourse Farms Acquisition LLC as seller; Farm Credit East ACA is named as a buyer on one. None of the three has a recorded price yet.

West Northfield Road: Two entries reference the same address under slightly different formatting, 142 West Northfield Road and 142 W Northfield Road, both recorded Sept. 11 with Amanda Martin as seller. One carries the $294,693 sale price to Greenfield Savings Bank; the other has no price or buyer listed yet.

Price tiers: Among the three priced sales, one falls under $100,000 (Pierson Road), one falls in the $100,000-$500,000 range (West Northfield Road), and one approaches but stays under $500,000 (Lyman Road, $405,000).

Other: One transfer, with no street address provided in the registry data, involves the estate of Donald Neel Mayhew, also recorded as Donald N. Mayhew, with no buyer or price yet listed.

MARKET NOTES

No square footage, bedroom or bathroom data was available from the deed records for any property this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made. The dataset includes one estate transfer (the Mayhew property) and one cluster of same-day transfers tied to Nourse-affiliated entities on Hinsdale Road; the registry data does not indicate the reason behind either pattern. Two of the three priced transfers list a bank or lending entity as buyer rather than an individual, which is consistent with mortgage-related recordings but the dataset does not specify the nature of each transaction beyond buyer and seller names.
