Granby Deed Filings Show No Disclosed Prices Across Eight Transactions

GRANBY -- The Hampshire County Registry of Deeds recorded eight property transactions in Granby between July 31 and Aug. 3, but none carried a disclosed sale price, and three of the eight were homestead filings rather than ownership changes.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eight deeds were recorded in Granby during the period, all without a disclosed consideration amount. Because no sale price was reported for any transaction, a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated for this period. Of the eight recorded deeds, three list the Town of Granby as grantee, one is an acquisition by a land conservation trust, three are Declarations of Homestead, and one is a transfer from a bank to private buyers. A Declaration of Homestead is a legal filing an existing owner records on property already in their name; it is not a sale to a new owner. Because more than a third of this period's deed activity did not involve a market sale, the raw count of eight should not be read as a measure of home-sale volume in Granby.

TOP SALES No sale prices were disclosed for any transaction recorded in Granby this period, so transactions cannot be ranked by price. The following are the notable ownership transfers on record:

3 Trout Lily Lane, recorded Aug. 3, price not disclosed. Sellers Tomasz Ludkiewicz and Jillian T. Ludkiewicz transferred the property to Granby Town.

160 West State Street, recorded Aug. 3, price not disclosed. Seller Society of Holyoke transferred the property to Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust Inc.

117 Pleasant Street, recorded July 31, price not disclosed. Seller Eva U. Gingras transferred the property to Granby Town.

4 Carver Street, recorded July 31, price not disclosed. Seller Peoplesbank transferred the property to buyers Thomas Obrien and Katherine Obrien.

An unaddressed Granby parcel, recorded Aug. 3, price not disclosed. Seller Society of Holyoke Massachusett transferred the property to Granby Town.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Barton Street had two recorded filings this period: 2 Barton St. and 9 Barton St. Both were Declarations of Homestead, filed by owners Christine Sever and Danilo Semedo, respectively; neither involved a change of ownership. No other street had more than one recorded deed. Granby Town was recorded as grantee on three separate transfers during the period: 3 Trout Lily Lane, 117 Pleasant Street and one unaddressed parcel.

MARKET NOTES All eight recorded transactions lacked a disclosed consideration amount, so no price-per-square-foot or price-tier analysis is possible with this data. Property type (single-family, condo or multi-family) could not be determined from the available deed records. Three of the eight filings, at 2 Barton St., 87 Morgan St. and 9 Barton St., were Declarations of Homestead rather than sales. One transaction, at 4 Carver St., recorded Peoplesbank as seller and Thomas Obrien and Katherine Obrien as buyers.
