Only one sale price disclosed this period anchors Easthampton's market data

EASTHAMPTON -- Hampshire County Registry of Deeds records show eight property transfers in Easthampton between Sept. 25 and Oct. 24, with a recorded sale price available for just one of them so far.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eight transfers were recorded during the period. Of those, one carries a sale price: $230,000 for 39 Brook St. With price data for only one of eight transfers, the range and median both stand at $230,000, that single figure, rather than a calculated median across multiple sales. The raw count of eight recorded transfers is in line with routine monthly deed activity for Easthampton, though with no comparison data available, the period cannot be characterized as active or quiet based on price alone. The remaining seven transfers are expected to show pricing in registry records in the coming days, consistent with typical reporting lag.

TOP SALES 39 Brook St sold for $230,000 on Sept. 25. Seller Scott E. Alexander transferred the property to Arthur P. Jones, trustee, and the HKL Family Trust. It is the only transaction in this period with a recorded sale price. The remaining seven recorded transfers have no price data yet available: an unaddressed Easthampton property transferred from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (MERS) to Benjamin Premo; 0 Mineral St, transferred from Steven J. Nietupski and Maryellen Diluzio to Steven J. Nietupski, trustee, and Maryellen Diluzio, trustee; 18 Mineral St; 39 Taft Ave; 29 Pine Hill Rd; 7 Coed Dr, transferred from MERS and Urban Financial of America LLC to Urban Development; and 38 Brook St, also transferred by Scott E. Alexander.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Brook Street accounted for two of the eight transfers: 39 Brook St, the period's only priced sale, and 38 Brook St, both involving seller Scott E. Alexander. Mineral Street also had two transfers, 0 Mineral St and 18 Mineral St, both tied to the Nietupski family. The remaining four transfers were scattered across Taft Avenue, Pine Hill Road, Coed Drive and one unaddressed Easthampton parcel, with no further street-level clustering evident in the data.

MARKET NOTES Most of this period's recorded transfers do not reflect standard arm's-length sales. Four of the eight, 18 Mineral St, 39 Taft Ave, 29 Pine Hill Rd and 38 Brook St, list "Declaration of Homestead" as the buyer, indicating a homestead filing rather than a property sale. One transfer, 0 Mineral St, moved ownership from Steven J. Nietupski and Maryellen Diluzio individually to themselves as trustees, a within-family trust restructuring. Two transfers involved Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as seller, at an unaddressed Easthampton address and at 7 Coed Dr, where the buyer is listed as Urban Development, patterns typically associated with mortgage or foreclosure-related transfers. Taken together, only one of the eight recorded transfers, 39 Brook St, represents a conventional sale with a disclosed price this period; beds, baths and square footage are not available from deed records for any of the transfers.
