Only One Of Ten Westhampton Home Sales Shows Price So Far
Westhampton recorded ten property deeds between Sept. 18 and Oct. 17, but only one carried a sale price in registry records so far: $250,000 for 47 Stage Rd, sold Sept. 30 from Richard W. Florek and Geneva L. Pedersen to Charles Aaron Florek.
WESTHAMPTON -- Ten property deeds were recorded in Westhampton between Sept. 18 and Oct. 17, but sale prices had posted for only one transaction by the time records were pulled, leaving most of the period's market value undetermined for now.
MARKET OVERVIEW Ten deeds were recorded during the period. Of those, one carried a sale price in the registry: $250,000 for 47 Stage Rd. Because only one of ten transactions has a recorded price, the price range and median are both $250,000 based on available data; a fuller picture of price range and median will emerge as the remaining nine prices post, which the registry typically adds within about a week of recording. Based on raw deed count alone, the ten filings represent typical turnover for the town; no comparison to other periods is available from this dataset.
TOP SALES 47 Stage Rd sold for $250,000 on Sept. 30. The sellers were Richard W. Florek and Geneva L. Pedersen; the buyer was Charles Aaron Florek. No other transactions in this period have a recorded sale price yet. The remaining nine deeds, listed by sale date, are: 258 Main Rd (Sept. 30), 69 Southampton Rd (Sept. 29), a Westhampton parcel without a listed street address (Sept. 29), 12 Chesterfield Rd (Sept. 28), 329 Southampton Rd (Sept. 28), 339 Southampton Rd (Sept. 28), 184 Northwest Rd (Sept. 23), 17 Hathaway Rd (Sept. 22), and 43 Burt Rd (Sept. 21). Prices for all nine are not yet available.
NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Southampton Road accounted for three of the ten recorded deeds in this period: 69 Southampton Rd, 329 Southampton Rd and 339 Southampton Rd, making it the only street with multiple filings this period. The remaining seven deeds were spread across separate streets: Stage Road, Main Road, Chesterfield Road, Northwest Road, Hathaway Road, Burt Road and one parcel without a listed address. With pricing data available for only one of ten sales, a price-tier breakdown is not yet possible; that picture should become clearer as additional prices post to the registry.
MARKET NOTES Five of the ten recorded deeds listed a bank as the seller: Florence Bank (69 Southampton Rd and 184 Northwest Rd), Monson Savings Bank (the unaddressed parcel), TruNorth Bank (12 Chesterfield Rd), Greenfield Cooperative Bank (17 Hathaway Rd) and PeoplesBank (43 Burt Rd). That is half of the period's filings. Two of the three Southampton Road filings were not property sales in the traditional sense: the 329 Southampton Rd filing was a utility easement recorded with Matthew F. and Piper A. Murphy as sellers, and the 339 Southampton Rd filing was a declaration of homestead recorded by Piper A. Murphy, individually and as trustee. Neither involved a change of ownership for consideration, which means Westhampton's net count of traditional property sales for the period is effectively eight, not ten. The sale at 47 Stage Rd involved a buyer and sellers sharing the Florek surname; the deed data does not indicate the nature of that relationship. No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage data was available for any transaction in this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made.
