Single Disclosed Residential Sale Tops $999,000 as Westhampton June Transfers Skew Institutional

WESTHAMPTON -- Deed records filed with the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds between June 6 and July 5, 2026, show a month dominated by conservation, municipal, and institutional transfers, with only one conventional residential sale recorded among eight total transactions.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Eight deeds were recorded during the period, but only two carried disclosed sale prices — $999,950 and $4,000 — yielding a median of $501,975, a figure that reflects the mathematical midpoint of two highly dissimilar transactions rather than typical market activity. Readers should treat that median with caution: it does not represent a meaningful benchmark for residential pricing in Westhampton this month. The preponderance of non-arm's-length transfers — municipal land acquisitions, a conservation restriction, a bank-related conveyance, and a homestead declaration — makes this period a poor indicator of broader market conditions.
• TOP SALES
• The sole conventional residential transaction was 71 Mine Rd., which sold June 15 for $999,950. Donald R. Kelley and Sarah J. Kelley were the sellers; Angelique Labonte was the buyer. No other sale in the dataset approached that figure in a traditional residential context. The only other recorded consideration was $4,000 for 99 Chesterfield Rd., conveyed June 8 from David P. Avakian to the Town of Chesterfield and the Massachusetts Community Development Block Grant Program — a transaction that appears to be a government or program-related acquisition rather than a market-rate sale.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• No street had more than one sale. By price tier, one transaction fell above $500,000 (71 Mine Rd. at $999,950) and one below $10,000 (99 Chesterfield Rd. at $4,000); the remaining six carried no disclosed price. Rural and undeveloped parcels — addresses listed as 0 Northwest Rd., 0 Spruce Hill Rd., and 0 Burt Rd. — account for three of the eight deeds, all involving either municipal or federal buyers.
• MARKET NOTES
• Six of the eight transactions involve parties that are government agencies, conservation organizations, a land trust, a bank, or a trust entity. Specifically, the Town of Westhampton acquired two undeveloped parcels on Spruce Hill Road and Burt Road from Lyme Quabbin LLC on June 11; the U.S. Farm Service Agency received a deed for 0 Northwest Rd. from Mycoterra Farm Inc. and Donald P. Coffey on June 15; and a conservation restriction deed was recorded involving Kestrel Land Trust Inc. and the Town of Westhampton as grantors, with no price disclosed. The 306 Main Rd. transfer lists BankESB as seller and Mark A. Ducharme as buyer, suggesting a bank-owned property conveyance; price was not disclosed. The 135 Southampton Rd. entry reflects a Declaration of Homestead filing rather than a sale. Because bed, bath, and square footage data are unavailable from deed records, price-per-square-foot analysis cannot be performed.
