Belchertown Deed Prices Range Widely From $17,150 To $228,937 In July

BELCHERTOWN -- Hampshire County Registry of Deeds records show nine property transfers recorded in Belchertown on July 31, with no further recordings through Aug. 29. Only three of the nine carried a disclosed sale price, ranging from $17,150 to $228,937.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded nine deed transactions tied to Belchertown properties, all dated July 31, with none recorded in the following four weeks of the reporting period. Of the nine, three disclosed a sale price: $17,150, $100,000 and $228,937, for a median of $100,000. The other six carried no consideration amount, which is standard for certain deed types such as homestead declarations and mortgage modifications. Judged on the raw count alone, nine recordings concentrated in a single day is a modest showing for a four-week window, and the scarcity of disclosed prices limits how much can be said about overall price levels this period.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was 15 Old Pelham Rd., which sold for $228,937. The sellers were Steven L. Johnson and Lori M. Johnson; the buyers were listed as Freedom Mortgage Corp. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc.

55 North St. sold for $100,000. The seller was Marylu J. Schneider; the buyer was UMassFive College Federal Credit Union.

381 N. Liberty St. sold for $17,150, the lowest disclosed price of the period. The seller was Tomas Jeremiah Pastor; the buyer was listed as Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and MERS.

No other transactions in the dataset disclosed a sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

North Liberty Street had the most activity of any street, with three recorded documents. Two involved the address 381 N. Liberty St./381 North Liberty St., both naming Tomas Jeremiah Pastor as seller and recorded July 31: one a $17,150 sale to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., the other a Declaration of Homestead. A third recording at 256 North Liberty St. transferred the property from UMassFive College Federal Credit Union to Edgar G. Thompson IV and Donna J. Thompson, with no price disclosed.

The remaining six streets, Old Pelham Road, North Street, Mill Valley Road, Allen Road, Dressel Avenue, and one entry with no listed street address, each had a single recorded transaction.
