Northampton August Deed Data Shows Wide Price Gap, Median Below $200,000

NORTHAMPTON -- A $670,000 transaction on South Park Terrace topped August deed recordings in Northampton, while the majority of transfers in the period carried no disclosed sale price, limiting the data available for market analysis.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• The Hampshire County Registry of Deeds recorded 12 deed entries tied to Northampton addresses between July 31 and Aug. 29, 2026, but several entries represent companion or duplicate recordings for the same underlying transaction rather than independent arm's-length sales. Four of the 12 entries carry disclosed sale prices. Among those four, prices ranged from $145,000 to $670,000, with a median of $192,500. The low share of price-disclosed transfers, 33 percent of entries, makes broad market characterization difficult; the figures below reflect only what the deed data shows.
• TOP SALES
• The highest-priced transaction in the period was 54 South Park Terrace, which sold Aug. 3 for $670,000. The seller was the Bogart Revocable Trust, represented by trustee Mark G. Bevan; the buyer was Dimitri Steblovsky. A companion deed entry for the same address and date carries no price, consistent with a pattern of multiple recordings for a single closing.

A condominium unit at 17 New South St., Unit 204, within the Old School Commons development, sold July 31 for $210,000. The seller was Collective LLC; the buyer was Granite State Economic Development Corp., a nonprofit economic development entity.

A River Run condominium at 80 Damon Rd., Unit 2303, changed hands July 31 for $175,000. Trustees Robert W. Horton and Diane M. Krok sold the unit to Wade M. and Julie M. Keene.

A property at 295 South St. recorded a consideration of $145,000 on July 31. The seller was Sarah E. Gibbons; the listed buyer entities are Better Mortgage Corp. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., names associated with mortgage-related conveyances rather than a typical residential purchase.

• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• South Park Terrace produced the period's only disclosed sale above $500,000, at $670,000. Two condominium sales, at Old School Commons on New South Street and River Run on Damon Road, both recorded at under $215,000, represent the period's mid-range disclosed transactions. The South Street entry at $145,000 was the lowest disclosed price but involved an atypical buyer, as noted above.

Several no-price transfers warrant brief mention. The City of Northampton appears as a buyer in at least two separate recordings: one tied to 80 Damon Rd. and one tied to 195 Westhampton Rd. PeoplesBank conveyed 441 Pleasant St. to Ritmar Realty Corp. at an undisclosed price; Citizens Bank and RBS Citizens conveyed 27 Crescent St. to Susan E. McKenna, also at an undisclosed price. The bank-seller pattern in those two transactions is consistent with lender-owned property dispositions, though no further detail is available from deed records alone.

• MARKET NOTES
• Square footage data are not available from deed records, so price-per-square-foot analysis cannot be performed. The disclosed sales in this period span three property types: a single-family or trust-held residential property (South Park Terrace), two condominiums (Damon Road and New South Street), and a mortgage-entity conveyance (South Street). At least two transfers involve the City of Northampton as grantee, suggesting municipal acquisitions, and at least two involve bank sellers, suggesting lender-held dispositions. Together, these patterns mean that fewer than half the recorded transactions in this period reflect standard open-market residential sales.
