Two Disclosed Sales Anchor Otherwise Price-Silent Month For Easthampton Real Estate

EASTHAMPTON -- Eleven property-related deeds were recorded at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds for Easthampton addresses between June 19 and July 18, but only two disclosed a sale price, leaving most of the month's real estate activity without dollar figures for buyers and sellers to compare.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Of the 11 deeds recorded during the period, two carried a disclosed consideration amount: $388,000 for 6 Prospect St. and $1,865,000 for 97 Union St. Those two figures set the disclosed price range for the month, and their midpoint is $1,126,500. Because only two of 11 recorded transactions included price data, that figure reflects just those two filings rather than the full set of deed activity, and it should not be read as representative of typical home values in Easthampton this period. The remaining nine deeds ranged from residential sales to municipal, estate and lender-related filings for which no price was disclosed in the registry data.

TOP SALES

97 Union St. sold for $1,865,000, the only sale in the period above $1 million. The seller was Sweat LLC and the buyer was ASLK Real Estate LLC.

6 Prospect St. sold for $388,000. The sellers were Ethan Pope and Estelle Pope, and the buyer of record was Movement Mortgage LLC, with Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. also named on the deed.

No other transaction recorded during the period disclosed a sale price, so no further transactions can be ranked by price for this roundup.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

By price tier, the disclosed-price sales split across two tiers: one under $500,000 (6 Prospect St., $388,000) and one over $1 million (97 Union St., $1,865,000). No sale fell in the $500,000-to-$1 million range among the disclosed prices.

Loudville Road accounted for two of the 11 deeds. At 283 Loudville Rd., the filing was a decision regarding a special permit and a decision regarding a stormwater permit involving Easthampton City Planning and Joseph C. Kelley. At 279 Loudville Rd., Steven E. and Louise K. Ansanitis transferred the property to the City of Easthampton; no price was disclosed.

The remaining transactions were spread across individual streets with no other repeated address: 4 South St., 18 Nicols Way (Unit 18), 5 Industrial Pkwy., 10 Chestnut St., an unaddressed Easthampton parcel, 97 Union St., 59 East St. and 14 Melinda Ln.

MARKET NOTES

The period's 11 recorded deeds reflect a mix of transaction types beyond conventional home sales. Two involved the City of Easthampton acquiring property: one from Sovereign Builders Inc. and the other, at 279 Loudville Rd., from the Ansanitis family. One filing at 283 Loudville Rd. recorded special permit and stormwater permit decisions rather than a property transfer. One filing at 10 Chestnut St. was an affidavit regarding estate tax tied to the estate of Chester S. Szawlowski Jr. and Pamela J. Szawlowski. One filing at 14 Melinda Ln. was a declaration of homestead filed by Fletcher and Alexis Schneeflock.

Several other deeds involved financial institutions as a grantor or grantee rather than a straightforward buyer-seller sale: Florence Bank transferred 4 South St. to Robert and Lois R. Peirent; Gigi Self Storage LLC transferred 5 Industrial Pkwy. to Greenfield Cooperative Bank; Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Northpoint Mortgage Inc. transferred 59 East St. to Samuel T. and Beth T. Lev; and Ethan and Estelle Pope transferred 6 Prospect St. to Movement Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. One filing, at 18 Nicols Way Unit 18, involved Polish National Credit Union and Pineview Development LLC as sellers of a condominium unit, with the buyer of record listed only as "Rents" in the registry data.

Only one deed, at 97 Union St., involved two limited liability companies as both seller and buyer without an associated financial institution or municipal party, and it was the only disclosed price above $1 million for the period.
