Granby's two disclosed sale prices span $20,000 to $60,000 in August

GRANBY -- Nine transactions were recorded at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds for Granby properties between Aug. 14 and Sept. 12, but only two carried a disclosed sale price, limiting how much the period's dollar figures can say about the local market.

MARKET OVERVIEW Of the nine recorded transactions, two disclosed a sale price: $20,000 and $60,000, for a price range of $20,000 to $60,000 and a median of $40,000. The remaining seven transactions, including transfers involving lenders such as UMassFive College Federal Credit Union, Bank of America and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., did not disclose a price. With price data available for only two of nine records, the raw count of nine transactions is the most reliable market signal from this dataset, but it cannot be characterized as active or quiet without a prior-period baseline, which was not provided.

TOP SALES The two disclosed-price transactions were both on West State Street. The higher was recorded without a specific street address, listed only as "Granby, MA," at $60,000 on Aug. 14; seller Justin M. Breault (also recorded as Justin Michael Breault) transferred the property to Alden Credit Union. The second was 174 W State St, which sold for $20,000 on Aug. 17; sellers James P. Healy and Dawn Dearing Healy transferred the property to UMassFive College Federal Credit Union. Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from deed records. No other transactions in the dataset disclosed a sale price, so they cannot be ranked among the top sales by dollar value.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN West State Street had two recorded entries in the period: 174 W State St, the $20,000 transfer to UMassFive College Federal Credit Union, and 181 West State St, a recorded "Notice of Lease" involving West State St LLC and Eating House LLC rather than a property sale. No other street had more than one recorded transaction. The remaining addresses, 26 Greenmeadow Ln, 73 Granby Heights, 252 Amherst St, 3 Trout Lily Ln, 37 Harris St and 95 Taylor St, each appeared once. By price tier, the two disclosed sales both fall under $500,000; the price tier of the other seven transactions cannot be determined from available data.

MARKET NOTES Several of the nine records reflect financial institutions as either grantor or grantee rather than a conventional buyer-to-buyer sale: UMassFive College Federal Credit Union appears as both seller (26 Greenmeadow Ln) and buyer (174 W State St); Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. appears as seller at 73 Granby Heights and 3 Trout Lily Ln; and Bank of America N.A. and Merrill Lynch Credit Corp. appear as sellers at 252 Amherst St. Three of the nine records are not property sales at all: 181 West State St was recorded as a Notice of Lease, 37 Harris St as a Declaration of Homestead filed by Ryan Matthew Barthelette and Stephanie Ann Barthelette, and 95 Taylor St as an Order of Conditions involving Lance and Shaina Humphrey. These are administrative or protective filings rather than ownership transfers, and their inclusion in registry data should not be read as sales activity. No property-type breakdown (single-family, condominium, multi-family) is available from the deed records provided.
