Only two of eleven Huntington deeds this month disclosed a sale price

HUNTINGTON -- Eleven property transfers were recorded at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds for Huntington addresses between June 26 and July 25, but sale prices were disclosed in only two of those transactions, limiting what can be said about where the local market stands on price.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eleven deeds were recorded in the period. Of those, nine listed no consideration amount, a common feature of estate, trust, homestead and bank-related filings rather than a sign of an undisclosed private sale price. The two transactions with a stated price ranged from $50,000 to $275,000, with a reported median of $162,500. Because that figure rests on only two data points, it should not be read as representative of typical home values in Huntington this period; it reflects the midpoint of the only two disclosed prices, not a broad sample. Based on raw count alone, eleven recorded deeds in a month is a moderate level of activity for the town, though the data does not indicate whether that is high or low relative to other periods.

TOP SALES 12 Pond Brook Road sold for $275,000, recorded July 1. The deed lists Rebecca C. Noddle and Jay B. Noddle as sellers and Enterprise Bank as buyer, a bank as grantee that typically indicates a foreclosure-related transfer rather than a conventional sale. 25 Basket Street sold for $50,000, recorded July 17. The sellers were Tomaz H. Oliveira and Katelyn M. Jeffers, and the buyer was Sandra L. Dunn. No other transactions in the period listed a sale price. Nine additional deeds were recorded without disclosed consideration: 218 Worthington Road, 103 Norwich Lake, 18 Blandford Hill Road, 134 Goss Hill Road, 32 Tucker Road, 1 Pond Brook Road, 6 County Road, and two deeds at 7 Stanton Avenue/Av. Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not part of the deed record and are not available for any of the eleven transactions.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Pond Brook Road accounted for two of the eleven deeds this period: 1 Pond Brook Road, transferred between family members named Keeney, and 12 Pond Brook Road, the $275,000 bank transfer noted above. Stanton Avenue also saw two recorded deeds on the same day, June 26, both at what the registry lists as 7 Stanton Av/Avenue -- one from Nichole E. Bruneau and Destiny Santiago to Huntington Town, and a separate deed involving Veteran Stan LLC, Keller Capital LLC and a buyer listed as "Rents." The remaining seven addresses -- Worthington Road, Norwich Lake, Blandford Hill Road, Goss Hill Road, Tucker Road, County Road and Basket Street -- are single, unclustered recordings with no other transactions on the same street this period. In price terms, the only two figures available split into one sale under $100,000 (Basket Street) and one in the $250,000-$275,000 range (Pond Brook Road); the remaining nine sales cannot be sorted by price because none disclosed one.

MARKET NOTES Several of this period's filings are not conventional arm's-length home sales. Two deeds -- 218 Worthington Road and 6 County Road -- list "Declaration of Homestead" as the buyer, a legal filing that protects an owner's existing equity rather than a change in ownership. One deed, at 103 Norwich Lake, moved title from Kenneth W. Hardy to a revocable trust in his own name, a within-family/trust transfer rather than a market sale. Another, at 1 Pond Brook Road, transferred from Neil S. Keeney II to Noel Keeney, a shared surname suggesting a family transfer; the registry data does not indicate why. Two deeds involved entities associated with mortgage servicing or lending -- Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (MERS) as seller at 18 Blandford Hill Road, and Enterprise Bank as buyer at 12 Pond Brook Road -- patterns often, though not always, associated with post-foreclosure transfers. Property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) is not specified in any of the eleven deed records, so no comparison across property types is possible this period.
