South Hadley Deed Records Show Just Two Disclosed Prices in Late-June Filing Period
SOUTH HADLEY -- The Hampshire County Registry of Deeds recorded 13 documents tied to South Hadley properties between June 12 and July 11, 2026, but only two carried disclosed consideration amounts -- and both involved institutional buyers rather than traditional homeowners.
MARKET OVERVIEW Of the 13 recorded documents in this period, just two disclosed a sale price: $120,000 and $180,000, producing a median of $150,000 for disclosed transactions only. The remaining 11 entries either carried no consideration amount or were legal filings that are not arms-length property sales -- including five Declarations of Homestead, one mortgage modification agreement, one Order of Notice by Publication (a foreclosure proceeding), transfers to South Hadley Town, and a self-transfer to a living trust. Readers should treat this period's data as a narrow snapshot with limited market signal; the disclosed-price figure reflects institutional transactions, not a representative sample of South Hadley residential sales.
TOP SALES The highest recorded consideration in the period was $180,000 for 1 Julia Way, acquired by Westfield Bank from Wendy T. Kelleher on June 15. The second and only other disclosed-price transaction was 84 Ferry St, which Freedom Credit Union acquired from Alison Y. Lee and Geoffrey D. Lee for $120,000 on June 12. Both buyers are financial institutions, which may indicate collateral-related transfers rather than conventional market purchases; the deed records do not specify the nature of the transaction beyond the recorded consideration.
NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN With only two priced transactions, no meaningful geographic or street-level pricing pattern can be drawn. The non-price filings were spread across the town: Declarations of Homestead were recorded at 5 Applewood Lane, 39 Hillside Ave., 38 Michael Dr., 14 Susan Ave., and 17 Cypress Dr. -- a routine legal filing that homeowners record to protect equity, not a property transfer. South Hadley Town received two conveyances: one from Scott Family Properties LLC at 293 Morgan St. and one from Brittney M. Stedman at an address not listed in the registry entry. A self-transfer of 88 East St. from Donna Marie Gulow to the Donna Marie Gulow Living Trust was also recorded.
MARKET NOTES The dataset for this period does not support conclusions about residential market conditions in South Hadley. Both transactions with disclosed prices involve institutional grantees -- a bank and a credit union -- which are atypical buyers in a standard residential market and may reflect mortgage enforcement or collateral disposition. The five Declarations of Homestead recorded in the same span suggest active homeowner awareness of equity-protection filings but carry no pricing data. The two transfers to South Hadley Town at 293 Morgan St. and one unaddressed parcel likely reflect municipal acquisition activity; no consideration amounts were disclosed. The mortgage modification recorded against the Riverwood condominium complex at 39 West Summit St. is a contract amendment, not a deed of conveyance. Given the composition of this dataset, this roundup does not reflect typical month-to-month sales volume for the town.
