Only Two of Nine Hadley Deeds Recorded This Month Disclosed a Sale Price

HADLEY -- Nine deeds were recorded in Hadley between June 19 and July 18, but only two disclosed a sale price, and both of those transfers listed a lending institution rather than an individual as the buyer.

MARKET OVERVIEW Nine property transfers were recorded in Hadley during the period. Only two of the nine listed a consideration amount: $613,980 for a home on East Street and $310,000 for a property on Rocky Hill Road. Based on those two figures, the price range was $310,000 to $613,980, with a median of $461,990. The remaining seven records did not disclose a sale price, which is common in deed data but limits how much can be concluded about pricing trends this month. Nine recorded deeds is a typical volume for a single month in a town of Hadley's size, though whether the period was active or quiet cannot be determined from price data alone, since seven of the nine transactions carry no disclosed figure.

TOP SALES 148 East St. sold for $613,980 on June 25, the highest disclosed price of the period. The deed lists Anthony Robert Curtis and Colee Asia Curtis as sellers and Swift Home Loans Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (MERS) as buyers, indicating the property transferred to a mortgage servicer rather than to an individual homebuyer.

127 Rocky Hill Rd. sold for $310,000 on June 23, the second and only other disclosed price. The seller is listed as Toni Lyn Morelli; the buyers are BankESB and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., again reflecting a transfer to a lending institution rather than a conventional buyer.

No other recorded deed in the period listed a sale price, so a fuller ranking of top transactions is not possible from this data set.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN River Drive was the most active street in the period, with three separate recorded transfers: 224 River Dr., 294 River Dr. and 440 River Dr. None of the three disclosed a sale price. East Street, Lawrence Plain Road, Mount Warner Road, Meadowbrook Drive and Rocky Hill Road each had one recorded transfer. By price tier, the only two disclosed sales fall on either side of $500,000: 127 Rocky Hill Rd. under $500,000 and 148 East St. above it. No tier data is available for the remaining seven transfers.

MARKET NOTES Several of the nine recorded deeds were not conventional buyer-to-seller sales. Two records dated June 25 -- one for 224 River Dr. and one for an unspecified Hadley address -- show John T. Boisvert Jr. and Bridget R. Boisvert and Cole T. Boisvert trading grantor and grantee roles between the same two parties, consistent with a within-family transfer. Three records -- 29 Lawrence Plain Rd., 112 Mount Warner Rd. and 294 River Dr. -- list Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. or a bank (TD Bank NA) as the seller, meaning those properties passed from a lender to a new owner rather than through a traditional resale. The 9 Meadowbrook Dr. record is a declaration of homestead rather than a change of ownership, and the 440 River Dr. record is a release of an agricultural or horticultural land tax lien, also not a property sale. Of the two records that did disclose a price -- 148 East St. and 127 Rocky Hill Rd. -- both list a lending institution as the buyer rather than an individual, meaning no price-disclosed, individual-to-individual home sale appears in this month's data.
