Pelham October Sale Prices Span $45,000 To $260,000 Amid Thin Pricing Data
Hampshire County Registry of Deeds recorded seven property transfers in Pelham during October 2026. One, at 189 Amherst Road, was a nominal-consideration transfer within the Fanning family and is not counted as a sale.
PELHAM -- Hampshire County Registry of Deeds recorded seven property transfers in Pelham during October 2026, but only two carried a confirmed sale price by month's end, leaving most of the period's market activity undocumented in dollar terms.
MARKET OVERVIEW Seven deeds were recorded in Pelham between Oct. 2 and Oct. 31. One of those, at 189 Amherst Road, was a nominal-consideration transfer and is not counted as a sale. Of the remaining six transfers, two have recorded sale prices so far: $45,000 for 43 Gulf Road and $260,000 for 42 Boyden Road. The other four sales, at 60 Harkness Road, 95 Packardville Road, 16 North Valley Road and an address listed only as "Pelham, MA," have no price yet on file, which is typical for deeds recorded within the past month. With only two prices available, a meaningful median cannot be calculated for this period. The raw count of seven recorded deeds is the full extent of this month's data; without a prior-month total for comparison, the available numbers alone do not support characterizing the period as particularly active or quiet.
TOP SALES 42 Boyden Road sold Oct. 27 for $260,000, the month's highest recorded price. The seller was listed as Fort River Real Estate LLC; no buyer name was provided in the available records. 43 Gulf Road sold Oct. 28 for $45,000. The seller was listed as Tara A. Loomis, also recorded as Tara Loomis, and the buyer was Florence Bank. These are the only two transactions this month with a confirmed sale price. Five other transfers, including the nominal-consideration transfer at 189 Amherst Road, have no comparable price for ranking.
NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street recorded more than one transfer this month, so the available data is grouped by price tier instead. Under $500,000: both priced sales fall in this range, 42 Boyden Road at $260,000 and 43 Gulf Road at $45,000. Over $500,000: no sales with recorded prices reached this tier. Price not yet available: 60 Harkness Road, 95 Packardville Road, 16 North Valley Road and the unspecified Pelham address account for four of the month's seven transfers.
MARKET NOTES Three of the month's seven transfers listed a bank or credit union as the seller: Greenfield Cooperative Bank at 60 Harkness Road, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. at 95 Packardville Road, and UMass Five College Federal Credit Union at 16 North Valley Road. A fourth transfer, 43 Gulf Road, listed Florence Bank as the buyer. The 189 Amherst Road transfer was a nominal-consideration transfer between parties sharing the Fanning surname, from Richard T. Fanning Jr. and Jane F. Fanning to Joshua R. Fanning and Eli J. Fanning; deed records do not state a reason for the transfer. At 60 Harkness Road, the buyers, Warren S. Hall and Marie C. Hall, are each listed with a "TR" designation, indicating the property was conveyed to a trust. No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage figures were available for any of the month's transfers, and property type cannot be determined from street addresses alone; no condominium or multi-family designation appears in the available deed data.
