South Hadley Home Prices Range From $297,500 to $615,000 in Recent Sales

SOUTH HADLEY -- Nine deeds were recorded in South Hadley between July 24 and Aug. 22, but only two carried a sale price by the time records were compiled, leaving most of the period's property activity still pending price data from the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Of the nine recorded filings, five represent property transfers between a seller and a buyer that could reflect market sales. Two of those five have recorded prices: $297,500 and $615,000, producing a median of $456,250 across the two priced sales. Three sales, at 16 Lamb St., 84 Alvord St. and 16 Grant St., have not yet had a price posted to the registry. The remaining four filings were not market sales: two were nominal-consideration transfers recorded for token amounts under $10,000, and two were administrative filings, an affidavit regarding estate tax and a declaration of homestead, tied to specific addresses rather than new ownership changes. With only two confirmed sale prices on the books, the period offers limited data for judging overall market direction.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced sale was 34 Ferry St., which sold for $615,000. The sellers were Marc D. Rogers and Marissa S. Rogers; the buyer was Mary Richardson. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record.

The second sale was 48 Westbrook Rd., which sold for $297,500. The sellers were Halifax Capital LLC and Andrews Property Maintenance LLC; the buyer was Tailor Ridge REIT LLC. No further property details were available.

Three additional sales, 16 Lamb St., 84 Alvord St. and 16 Grant St., were recorded in the same period but have no price yet available and could not be ranked among top sales.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street in this period had more than one recorded sale, so no street-level clustering emerged. By price tier: one sale fell under $500,000 (48 Westbrook Rd., $297,500), and one fell in the $500,000-to-$1 million range (34 Ferry St., $615,000). Three sales, at Lamb Street, Alvord Street and Grant Street, have prices pending and cannot yet be sorted into a tier. Separately, two nominal-consideration transfers were recorded, one for an unspecified South Hadley address involving Michael J. Ciolek Jr., trustee, and R Trust as sellers and Tara L. Page as buyer, and one at 59 Bridge St. involving NRB Roof Pros LLC as seller and Bridge Street LLC as buyer. Two more filings at 0 Dove Hill and 12 Karen Dr. were administrative records, an estate tax affidavit and a homestead declaration, rather than sales.

MARKET NOTES

Three of the pending-price sales, 16 Lamb St., 84 Alvord St. and 16 Grant St., involved institutional sellers: Holyoke Credit Union was the seller on the first two, and Commercial Lender LLC was the seller on the third. That pattern suggests lender-related dispositions among this period's pending sales, though the deed data does not specify foreclosure status. Limited liability companies also appear on both sides of several filings, including Tailor Ridge REIT LLC, Bridge Street LLC, Halifax Capital LLC and Andrews Property Maintenance LLC, indicating some investor or entity-level activity alongside individual buyers and sellers such as the Richardsons and the Fiedlers. No square footage or bedroom/bathroom data was available in any record, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons could be made. The Ciolek-named nominal-consideration transfer and the Ciolek-related estate filing at 0 Dove Hill both involve the same family name, consistent with a within-family or estate-related transfer pattern, though the deed data does not specify the reason.
