Undisclosed prices mark all five New Salem property transfers this period
NEW SALEM -- All five properties that changed hands in New Salem during the past month sold without a disclosed price, according to deeds recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds, and three of the five transactions listed a bank or credit union as the seller.
MARKET OVERVIEW
Five deeds were recorded in New Salem between July 10 and Aug. 8, 2026. None of the five listed a sale price, so a price range and median sale price could not be calculated for the period. Based on the raw count alone, five transactions is the extent of recorded residential deed activity in New Salem over the four-week span; the dataset does not include figures from other months for comparison.
TOP SALES
Because none of the five deeds recorded a sale price, the transactions below are listed in order of recording date, most recent first, rather than ranked by price. Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available in deed records.
54 Elm St. sold Aug. 6, price not disclosed. Seller: Pamela E. Harris Trust, Pamela E. Harris, trustee. Buyer: Kirsten L. McCarthy.
22 Blackington Rd. sold Aug. 5, price not disclosed. Seller: Lynne Ames, also recorded as Lynne F. Ames. Buyer: Midland Funding LLC.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
The five sales were spread across five separate streets: Elm Street, Blackington Road, Orange Road, South Main Street and Stone Hill Road. No street recorded more than one transaction during the period. Because no sale prices were disclosed, transactions cannot be grouped into price tiers this month.

One transaction, at 54 Elm St., transferred from the Pamela E. Harris Trust to an individual buyer. One transaction, at 22 Blackington Rd., listed Midland Funding LLC as the buyer.
