Leverett Road Sale Tops $810,000 as Amherst Deed Prices Vary Widely

AMHERST -- Twelve property transfers were recorded in Amherst between July 17 and August 15, 2026, but only four listed a sale price, led by an $810,000 transaction on Leverett Road.

MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve deeds were recorded in the roughly four-week period, a moderate volume of filings for the town. Of those, four disclosed a sale price, ranging from $15,000 to $810,000, with a median of $275,000 among the disclosed sales. Because two-thirds of the recorded transfers did not include a price, the raw count alone does not support a broader read on whether the market was active or quiet; the available price data is limited to a small subset of filings.

TOP SALES 281 Leverett Road sold for $810,000, recorded July 17, 2026. The sellers were Kristen Parry and George Parry Jr.; the buyers were Wells Fargo Bank NA and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc.

36 Woodlot Road sold for $300,000, recorded July 17, 2026. The sellers were Philip J. Doherty and April M. Doherty; the buyer was Loan Association of Cleveland.

1141 South East Street sold for $250,000, recorded July 17, 2026. The sellers were Jacquie Kurland and Pauline E. Stokes; the buyer was UMassFive College Federal Credit Union.

486 Sunderland Road sold for $15,000, recorded July 17, 2026. The sellers were Christopher Croteau and Onel Perez; the buyer was Navy Federal Credit Union.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in the dataset recorded more than one transfer, so no street-level cluster emerged this period. By price tier, three of the four disclosed sales fell under $500,000: $15,000 on Sunderland Road, $250,000 on South East Street and $300,000 on Woodlot Road. One sale, on Leverett Road, exceeded $500,000. The remaining eight recorded transfers, on Alpine Drive, Cranberry Lane, Mechanic Street, Deepwoods Drive, Amity Street, Bedford Court and Shays Street, plus one entry with no listed address, did not disclose a price.

MARKET NOTES All four transactions with disclosed prices list a bank or credit union as the buyer: Wells Fargo Bank NA and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. on Leverett Road, Loan Association of Cleveland on Woodlot Road, UMassFive College Federal Credit Union on South East Street, and Navy Federal Credit Union on Sunderland Road.

Several of the undisclosed-price deeds show the reverse pattern, a bank or lender as seller transferring to an individual buyer: PeoplesBank to Naomi Ossar at 334 Amity Street; PeoplesBank to Edgardo Javier Rothkegel at 27 Bedford Court Unit 27; Capital One NA and Discover Bank to Adam J. Schifferli and Erin N. Schifferli at 55 Mechanic Street; and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc./MERS to Minsuk Cha and Minyoung Cha at 8 Cranberry Lane.

One filing, at 58 Alpine Drive, moved the property from Beverley D. Atkinson, also recorded as Beverley D. Hann, into a trust held in her own name, Atkinson Beverley D TR, recorded July 20, 2026.

Two filings, at 54 Deepwoods Drive and 28 Shays Street, recorded a Declaration of Homestead rather than a transfer to a new buyer. One additional entry lists Amherst Town as seller and Eugene A. Wagner as buyer, with no street address given in the record.

The deed data does not specify property type, beds, baths or square footage for any of the twelve filings.
