Ware Deed Filings for June Offer Little Data on Residential Market Prices

WARE -- Hampshire County deed records for the June 6 through July 5 period show 14 filings in Ware, but only two carry disclosed consideration amounts, and a majority of the entries reflect legal instruments, financing documents, or intra-family transfers rather than conventional property sales.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Of the 14 recorded instruments in the period, just two disclose a sale price: $39,754 and $55,321. Those two figures produce a price range and a calculated median of $47,537, but that figure should be read with caution — both transactions involve institutional parties and show prices far below typical single-family market values in Massachusetts, suggesting they are not arm's-length market sales. With only two disclosed prices and substantial uncertainty about the nature of most transfers, this dataset does not support a reliable market overview for the period.
• TOP SALES
• The highest disclosed consideration in the period was $55,321, recorded June 11. The seller of record is Mary R. Dansereau, also listed as Mary R. Smith, and the buyer is ARPC LLC. No street address was included in the deed record. The second disclosed transaction, at 76 Aspen St., recorded June 12, shows a consideration of $39,754. Both the grantor and grantee are listed as US Bank Trust NA TR, indicating an internal trust transfer rather than a sale between independent parties.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Deed filings are spread across at least nine distinct Ware addresses and roadways in the period, including Monson Turnpike Road, Coffey Hill Road, Indian Hill Road, Osborne Road (two separate parcels at 0 and 207 Osborne Rd.), Greenwich Plains Road, Dugan Road, Cottage Street, South Street, Campbell Road, Palmer Road, Moriarty Road, and Aspen Street. No street recorded more than two filings. The two Osborne Road entries — at 0 and 207 Osborne Rd. — are the only address cluster, though neither carries a disclosed price.
• MARKET NOTES
• Several filings in this dataset do not represent conventional property conveyances. Buyers of record include "Modification Agreement," "Order of Notice," "Invalid Order of CONDITIONS," "Declaration of Homestead," Solar Mosaic Inc., and GoodLeap LLC — designations consistent with loan modifications, court proceedings, permitting documents, homestead filings, and solar financing instruments, respectively. At least two transfers — 65 Dugan Rd. (Desjardins to Desjardins) and two Campbell Road and Osborne Road parcels (Alexandrovich to Alexandrovich) — appear to be intra-family conveyances. At 109 South St., Mary C. Robidoux appears on both the grantor and grantee sides, suggesting a partial-interest or estate-related transfer. Given these factors, this month's deed filings do not provide sufficient data to characterize market conditions in Ware.
