No Sale Prices Have Posted Yet for Cummington's September Property Transfers

CUMMINGTON -- Hampshire County Registry of Deeds records show five property transfers in Cummington during the four weeks ending Oct. 3, but none carried a sale price in the data as of this writing. Three other documents recorded in the same window, a mortgage modification, an amended trustees certificate and a declaration of homestead, are not property sales.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Five property transfers were recorded in Cummington between Sept. 4 and Sept. 30. None of the five had a sale price available in registry data at the time of this report, so a price range and median cannot be calculated for this period. Sale prices typically appear in the registry within about a week of recording, and this report reflects only what had posted as of Oct. 3. A count of five transfers in a four-week span is a modest total on its face, though judging it as active or quiet would require price or volume data from other periods that this dataset does not include.

TOP SALES

Because no sale prices had posted for this period, the transfers below cannot be ranked by price. They are listed in order of recording date, most recent first.

17 Clark Rd. sold Sept. 30; price not yet available. Sellers David R. Sprague and Barbara K. Sprague transferred the property to Greenfield Savings Bank.

42 Lilac Ave. sold Sept. 24; price not yet available. Florence Bank transferred the property to Shane T. Wolf and Brenda L. Wolf.

83 Porter Hill Rd. sold Sept. 15; price not yet available. Greenfield Cooperative Bank transferred the property to James Edward Bernhard.

36 Powell Rd. sold Sept. 10; price not yet available. The Pioneer Valley Planning Commission transferred the property to Matthew F. Golembeski and Angela D. Golembeski.

0 Mount Rd. sold Sept. 4; price not yet available. John Mark Fiegenbaum and Eric Norton Fiegenbaum transferred the property to the town of Cummington.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

The five transfers were spread across five different streets, Clark Road, Lilac Avenue, Porter Hill Road, Powell Road and Mount Road, with no two on the same street. No price-tier breakdown is possible for this period because none of the transfers had a recorded sale price.

MARKET NOTES

Three of the five property transfers involved a bank as either seller or buyer: Greenfield Savings Bank acquired the Clark Road property from the Sprague sellers, Florence Bank sold the Lilac Avenue property to the Wolf buyers, and Greenfield Cooperative Bank sold the Porter Hill Road property to Bernhard. The Powell Road property passed from the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission to the Golembeski buyers, and the Mount Road property passed from the Fiegenbaum sellers to the town of Cummington.

Separately, the registry recorded three documents in this window that are not property sales: a modification agreement tied to 44 Main St., involving sellers Scott B. Keith and Patricia A. Keith; an amended trustees certificate tied to 122 Trouble St., involving the Trouble Street Trust and trustee Jerome B. Dwight; and a declaration of homestead tied to 32 Lyman Flat Rd., involving Ryan Jeffrey Rida and Marjorie M. Rida. These are legal instruments recorded at the registry and are noted here for completeness but are not counted among the period's property sales.

No beds, baths, square footage or property-type data were available from the deed records for any transfer in this period.
