Nine Of 11 West Stockbridge Property Transfers Carry No Disclosed Price

WEST STOCKBRIDGE -- Eleven property deeds were recorded in West Stockbridge between June 26 and July 25, but only two listed a sale price, limiting how much the month's data can say about the local market.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Southern Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded 11 property transfers in West Stockbridge during the period. Of those, only two disclosed a sale price: $175,000 and $250,000, producing a price range of $175,000 to $250,000 and a median of $212,500. With price data available for just 2 of 11 transactions, the raw sales count of 11 is the most reliable indicator of activity for the period; the price range and median should be read as reflecting only the two disclosed sales, not the broader month.

TOP SALES 44 Main St. sold for $250,000 on June 30, with Alistair Black and Cameron Black listed as sellers and Dominick Luchi Jr. as buyer. That is the only sale in the dataset to disclose a price above $200,000. 6 Washington Sq. sold for $175,000 on July 9, with Carrie Negrini as seller and Lee Bank as buyer. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available for either transaction. The remaining nine transfers recorded in the period did not disclose a sale price and cannot be ranked among the month's top sales.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Washington Square saw two separate deed transfers on July 9 -- 6 Washington Sq. and 6 Washington Sq. Lot 5 -- both with Carrie Negrini as seller, though only the first disclosed a price. No other street had more than one recorded transfer during the period. By price tier, both disclosed sales fell under $500,000; the price tier of the remaining nine transactions is unknown because no sale price was disclosed.

MARKET NOTES Five of the 11 recorded transfers involved a grantor holding the property in trust or as an estate, or transferring between apparent family members: 1 Miller Ln. (Campbell Evan W Est. to Campbell Gina M), 9 Silver Mine Ln. (Jerri H. Buehler as trustee), 5 Samantha Ln. (Sharon M. Picard to a revocable trust naming Picard as trustee), 15 Cross Rd. (Kim Ruffing and Thomas Ruffing as trustees), and 44 West Alford Rd. (Marie Rudden as trustee). None of these five disclosed a sale price. Two transfers listed an institutional or lender entity as seller: 276 Great Barrington Rd., sold by Citizens Bank NA to Jon and Kristin Piasecki, and 16 Swamp Rd., sold by Embrace Home Loans Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. to Jeanne A. Bill and Ronald E. Bill. Neither of those disclosed a price. No bed, bath or square-footage figures were available in any of the 11 records, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made.
