Easthampton Price Data Thin as Just Two of 14 Sales Post Figures

EASTHAMPTON -- Fourteen properties changed hands in Easthampton between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, according to deeds recorded at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds. Sale prices have posted for only two of those transactions so far, a reflection of the registry's typical data lag rather than any withholding by buyers or sellers.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded 14 property transfers in the period. As of this writing, consideration amounts have posted for two of them: $49,105 and $365,000, giving an available price range of $49,105 to $365,000 and a midpoint of $207,052. The remaining 12 sales show no price yet; sale prices typically appear in the registry's data within about a week of recording, so additional figures are likely to post in the coming days. With price data available for only two of 14 transfers, the current snapshot does not yet support a reliable read on where the broader market stands this period, though the raw count of 14 recorded transfers is a notable volume for a single month.

TOP SALES 8 West Lake St sold for $365,000 on Sept. 15. The property transferred from Steven McClellan, personal representative of the estate of Francis C. McClellan, to Jeffrey and Joann Stewart. 16 Dewey St sold for $49,105 on Sept. 15. William J. and Melissa J. Marek sold the property to Valley Community Development Corp. No other sales in the period have a recorded price yet, so a fuller ranking of top sales is not possible at this time.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Park Street saw two transfers: 183 Park St, sold Sept. 15 by Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. to Rebecca A. Sweger and Eric D. Fiedler, and 180 Park St, sold Sept. 14 by EverBright LLC to Howard M. White. Prices for both are not yet available. Beyond that cluster, the remaining 12 sales are spread across individual streets: Plain, Northampton, Oliver, Dewey, Chestnut, West Lake, Main, Monska Drive, Westview Terrace, South, and Reservation Road, with no other street-level repeats. Because only two of 14 sales carry a price, a breakdown by price tier is not yet meaningful.

MARKET NOTES Seven of the 14 recorded transfers listed a bank or mortgage-servicing entity as seller: TruNorth Bank appears as seller in four transactions (65 Plain St, 239 Main St, 32 Monska Dr. and 18 Reservation Rd.), Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. in two (183 Park St and 19 Westview Ter.), and Florence Bank in one (55 South St.). EverBright LLC, a limited liability company, appears as seller in two additional transactions (74 Oliver St. and 180 Park St.). One transfer, at 25 Northampton St., moved within the Niedzielski family, from Joseph D. and Joseph David Niedzielski to Matthew Joseph Niedzielski and Jennifer Lynn Hathaway. Two recorded entries in the period, covering the estate of Walter Bilski and a property on Chestnut Street, reflect an estate tax affidavit and a certificate of compliance rather than a traditional buyer-seller sale, and are not counted toward price figures. No property-type (single-family, condominium, multi-family) or square-footage data was available in the deed records for this period.
