Hadley Deed Records Show Wide Price Spread From $60,000 to $880,000

HADLEY -- Eleven property transfers were recorded in Hadley between July 10 and Aug. 8, according to Hampshire County Registry of Deeds records. Only four of the filings included a disclosed sale price, ranging from $60,000 to $880,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 11 property transfers during the four-week period. Of those, four carried a disclosed consideration amount, spanning from $60,000 to $880,000, with a median of $259,147 among the disclosed sales. The remaining seven transfers listed no sale price, which is standard for many deed types. A count of 11 recorded transfers in a single town over roughly a month is a modest volume, and with most entries lacking price data, the figures available offer only a partial picture of dollar activity in Hadley this period.

TOP SALES

156 River Drive sold for $880,000 on July 10, the highest disclosed price of the period. The deed lists Joseph John Boisvert and Michelle Lee Boisvert as sellers and Greenfield Savings Bank as buyer.

6 Woodlawn Road sold for $437,500 on July 10. Xue Zhun Zhang and Yu Nan Zheng are listed as sellers; BankESB and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. are listed as buyers.

43 Huntington Road sold for $80,794 on July 13. Dechen Dolma and Pasang Norbu are listed as sellers; Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (MERS) is listed as buyer.

4 Joelle Terrace sold for $60,000 on July 10. Rebecca L. Crockett Banach is listed as seller; Florence Bank is listed as buyer.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No two disclosed-price sales occurred on the same street, so this month's activity is best summarized by price tier. Under $500,000: three sales, at Huntington Road ($80,794), Woodlawn Road ($437,500) and Joelle Terrace ($60,000). $500,000 to $1 million: one sale, at River Drive ($880,000). No disclosed sales exceeded $1 million. The seven transfers without a disclosed price were spread across Comins Road, Kennedy Drive, Russell Street, Rocky Hill Road, Knightly Road, East Street and one entry with no listed street address; none of those streets had more than one recorded transfer.

MARKET NOTES

Seven of the 11 transfers recorded in this period, about two-thirds, did not disclose a sale price. All four transfers with a disclosed price list a bank or mortgage-related entity, Greenfield Savings Bank, BankESB, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., or Florence Bank, as the grantee. Two entries list the Town of Hadley as grantee: 32 Knightly Road and an entry with no listed street address, both recorded July 10 and July 14 respectively, indicating municipal acquisition of property rather than a private sale. Two additional entries record document types rather than named buyers in the grantee field: a Declaration of Homestead at 34 Comins Road and a Decision Regarding Variance at 15 Kennedy Drive, reflecting recorded instruments rather than conventional property sales. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed data, so no price-per-square-foot comparison could be made.
