Erving Sales Show $220,000 Gap Between Top And Bottom Prices

ERVING -- Nine property transfers were recorded in Erving between June 19 and July 18, led by a $245,000 sale on Mountain Road, though sale prices were disclosed in fewer than half the filings.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Franklin County Registry of Deeds recorded nine Erving property transfers during the period. Of those, four listed a sale price, ranging from $25,000 to $245,000. The median sale price among the four disclosed transactions was $146,125. With most filings lacking a listed consideration amount, the disclosed-price data offers only a partial view of the month's market activity; the raw count of nine recorded deeds does not by itself indicate whether the period was more or less active than usual.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction was 91 Mountain Rd, which sold for $245,000 on July 2. The sellers were Jose Armando Solano Carmona and Elvis Josue Solano Carmona; the deed named Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc and NFM Lending LLC as grantee. The second-highest was 21 East Main St, which sold for $242,250 on June 24. The sellers were Ryan Anthony Bailey and Cheryl Bailey; the buyer was the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency. A property at 26 High St sold for $50,000 on June 29, with Jacqualyn Crosby as seller and Athol Credit Union as buyer. A fourth disclosed sale, 17 W High St, went for $25,000 on June 29; the sellers were listed as Andrew Hannah and Charles Williamson, with Guild Mortgage Co LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc named as grantees.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN High Street saw the most recording activity of any street in the period: 26 High St, 17 W High St and 17 West High St all appear in the dataset, with the two High Street entries for 17 W High St/17 West High St recorded on the same day, June 29, both naming Andrew Hannah and Charles Williamson as sellers. Main Street also had multiple entries, with transfers recorded at 21 East Main St and 82 West Main St. By price tier, the two disclosed sales above $200,000 -- 91 Mountain Rd and 21 East Main St -- were within about $3,000 of each other. The remaining two disclosed sales, at 26 High St and 17 W High St, were both under $50,000. The five undisclosed-price transfers were recorded at 17 West High St, an unspecified Erving address, 82 West Main St, 10 East Prospect St and 23 Strachan St.

MARKET NOTES Five of the nine recorded transfers did not list a sale price, limiting how much can be said about overall market pricing this period. Several deeds named mortgage-related entities as grantee, including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc, NFM Lending LLC, Guild Mortgage Co LLC, Athol Credit Union and the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency, indicating the recorded transactions include mortgage-related filings alongside conventional sales. One deed, at 23 Strachan St, listed Greenfield Cooperative Bank as seller and Leon E. Terault as buyer. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available for any property in this period's records, and property type -- single-family, condominium or multi-family -- could not be determined from the deed data provided.
