Two of Ten Conway Property Sales Disclose Prices From $140,000 to $499,000

CONWAY -- Ten property transfers were recorded in Conway between June 19 and July 18, but only two of those deeds disclosed a sale price, leaving most of the month's market activity untracked in dollar terms.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Franklin County Registry of Deeds records show 10 transfers recorded in Conway during the period. Of those, only two carried a disclosed consideration amount: $140,000 and $499,000, producing a price range of $140,000 to $499,000 and a median of $319,500. Because that median is drawn from just two of 10 transactions, it should not be read as representative of the broader market. The remaining eight deeds listed no sale price, which is common for certain deed types and does not necessarily indicate the transaction was unusual. Based on raw count alone, 10 recorded transfers in a four-week span is a moderate volume of activity for the town; no comparison to prior periods is available in this data set.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was 565 Reeds Bridge Road, which sold for $499,000 on June 25. The sellers, Mecaye A. Santos and Brian L. Heath, were listed as personal representatives of an estate, and the buyer was Caswell Investment Trust.

The only other transaction with a disclosed price was 420 Mathews Road, which sold for $140,000 on July 3. The seller was Andrew P. Soles, and the buyer was UMassFive College Federal Credit Union.

No other recorded transfer included a sale price, so a full ranking of the month's highest sales beyond these two cannot be determined from the available data.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

East Guinea Road saw two transfers during the period: 214 East Guinea Road, which sold July 6 from Richard R. and Marie L. Martin to Tiffany Davignon, and 697 East Guinea Road, sold June 25 by seller Janet R. Rice (no buyer listed in the record). No other street had more than one recorded transfer.

Of the two sales with disclosed prices, both fell below $500,000 -- $140,000 and $499,000. Pricing for the remaining eight properties, spread across Parsons Road, Hart Road, Truce Road, Roaring Brook Road, Pleasant Street and an unspecified Conway parcel, is not available in the deed data.

MARKET NOTES

Financial institutions appeared on both sides of several transactions this period. Greenfield Savings Bank was the buyer in the transfer of 354 Hart Road from Ben Elliot Barnhart and Holly Scott Lorinser. Greenfield Cooperative Bank was the seller of 901 Roaring Brook Road to Susan G. Fentin. Florence Bank and Florence Savings Bank together were listed as seller of 18 Pleasant Street, purchased by Thomas A. and Cheryl L. Pascucci. And UMassFive College Federal Credit Union, as noted above, was the buyer of 420 Mathews Road.

Trust entities were involved in at least two transfers: 321 Truce Road, recorded from seller Ruth M. Bowman, trustee, and the Bowman Investment Trust, with no buyer listed in the record; and 565 Reeds Bridge Road, sold by an estate to the Caswell Investment Trust. A transfer at an unspecified Conway address listed the Conway Town Assessors as seller, with Sandra L. Heath as buyer. No further detail on that transaction's nature is available in the deed record. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available for any property in this data set.
