South Hadley June Deed Data Dominated by Bank Transfers, Trust Filings

SOUTH HADLEY -- Deed recordings in South Hadley between June 6 and July 5, 2026, were dominated by trust transfers, bank conveyances, and mortgage-related instrument filings, leaving only three transactions with disclosed consideration amounts — none of which appear to reflect standard arm's-length home sales.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• The Hampshire County Registry of Deeds recorded 17 transactions in South Hadley during the period. Of those, only three carried disclosed sale prices: $25,000, $50,000, and $108,661. However, all three involve either a credit union or the Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (MERS) as a party, which is consistent with mortgage assignments, foreclosure-related deeds, or lien recordings rather than conventional property purchases. The remaining 14 transactions list no consideration amount. Because fewer than three arm's-length sales are identifiable in this dataset, a meaningful market price range or median cannot be calculated for the period. This recording period does not provide a reliable picture of prevailing residential sale prices in South Hadley.
• TOP SALES
• The three transactions with disclosed prices are noted below. Given the parties involved, these figures should not be interpreted as market values for the properties.

11 Lois Ave. recorded a consideration of $108,661 on June 8. The grantee is Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (MERS); the grantors are Katie M. DeBeer and Cornelius J. DeBeer. This type of transfer is consistent with a mortgage instrument recording.

89 Brainerd St. recorded a consideration of $50,000 on June 9. Polish National Credit Union is listed as buyer; Laura Fusari and Thomas Fusari are listed as sellers. Price not independently verified as a market sale price.

25 Doane Ter. recorded a consideration of $25,000 on June 9. Polish National Credit Union is again the listed buyer; Linda M. Moreau is the listed seller.

• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Among the 14 transactions with no disclosed price, several street-level clusters are visible. Old Lyman Road appears twice, with transfers at 52 Old Lyman Rd. (June 9, seller: Berkshire Bank/Hampden Bank) and 56 Old Lyman Rd. (June 8, seller: PeoplesBank) — both bank-to-individual conveyances consistent with REO or post-foreclosure sales. Stonybrook Way also appears twice: 110 Stonybrook Way (June 10, seller: PeoplesBank) and 152 Stonybrook Way Unit 152 (June 8, seller: MERS/Mortgage Network Inc.), both with no disclosed price. A condominium unit at 124 College St. — Mill at Stoney Brook Unit 7 — is the subject of two sequential entries (entries 8 and 9) that together appear to reflect an ownership addition and a homestead declaration filing for the same unit.
• MARKET NOTES
• PeoplesBank appears as grantor in four of the 17 transactions (110 Stonybrook Way, 67 Boynton Ave., 114 Mosier St., and 56 Old Lyman Rd.), suggesting a cluster of bank-held properties conveyed during this period. Berkshire Bank and Hampden Bank jointly appear as grantors on one additional transaction. The Barbara J. Kuschka entries (entries 2 and 3) are a two-step trust transfer in which the individual conveyed a property into her own revocable trust — a standard estate-planning instrument, not a market sale. The Letourneau entry at 88 Granby Rd. — from Alfred A. Letourneau to Lynn R. Rivest and Alfred R. Letourneau — follows a pattern consistent with an intra-family transfer; no price was disclosed. The entry at 18 North St. lists "Elsewhere" and Florence Bank as grantors and "Rentals" as grantee; this entry appears incomplete or anomalous in the source data and cannot be interpreted. The entry at 41 West Summit St. Unit 55 lists "Urban Development" and "FACT" as grantors; this also appears to be a non-standard or institutional transfer.
