Hadley Recorded Sales Span $87,500 to $399,000 With $224,000 Median

HADLEY -- Fourteen property transfers were recorded at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds for Hadley addresses between Aug. 14 and Sept. 12, with disclosed sale prices ranging from $87,500 to $399,000 and a median of $224,000 among the four transactions that listed a price.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Of the 14 recorded transfers, only four included a disclosed consideration amount, meaning 10 of 14, or about 71 percent, list no sale price. The disclosed prices ranged from $87,500 for 31 Lawrence Plain Road to $399,000 for 358 River Drive, with a median of $224,000. Because the dataset mixes conventional sales with other recorded documents, including homestead declarations and legal notices, the raw count of 14 is not a reliable stand-alone measure of how active or quiet the period was; no prior-period figures were provided for comparison.

MARKET NOTES

Not all 14 recorded documents represent conventional sales between unrelated parties. Three are homestead declarations filed by the property owners: 334 River Drive, 9 Arrowhead Drive and 120 Hockanum Road. One, at 19 Roosevelt Street, is a notice of filing of a petition to partition. One, at 768 East Pleasant Street, is an order of notice by publication. One, at 39 Moody Bridge Road, transfers the property from Patricia McCarthy to Patricia McCarthy, consistent with a same-family trust or estate transfer. A separate transfer, from Clarit Realty Ltd. to the Town of Hadley, carried no street address in the data provided.

A bank, credit union or mortgage-related entity appears as buyer or seller in eight of the 14 recorded transfers, including as the buyer in all four transactions with a disclosed price: UMassFive College Federal Credit Union, Florence Bank, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., and Rocket Mortgage LLC with MERS.

Deed records did not indicate whether any property was a single-family home, condominium or multi-family building.
