One disclosed sale price of $1.375 million anchors quiet deed month

NEW MARLBOROUGH -- Eight property transfers were recorded in New Marlborough between June 19 and July 18, but only one listed a sale price, leaving most of the month's market activity undocumented in dollar terms.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Southern Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded eight transfers in New Marlborough during the period. Of those, only one deed disclosed a sale price: $1,375,000. Because that is the sole disclosed figure, it also stands as both the low and high end of the known price range and the median. The remaining seven transfers were recorded without consideration amounts, which is common for deed data and does not necessarily indicate the transactions were of lower value. With eight recorded transfers, the period shows a similar level of raw deed activity to a typical month, though the near-total absence of disclosed pricing limits any assessment of market direction.

TOP SALES The only transaction with a disclosed price was 605 Cross Road to Canaan Valley Road, which sold for $1,375,000 on July 9. The sellers were Kevin J. Smith and Maureen Rooney, both acting as personal representatives, and the buyers were Keith Dickey and Jean Alison Dickey. No other recorded transfer during the period listed a sale price, so no further ranking of top sales is possible from this data.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Two deeds recorded the same day, July 9, referenced essentially the same location: 605 Cross Road to Canaan Valley Road (the $1,375,000 sale to the Dickeys) and 605 Cross to Canaan Valley Road, a separate transfer with no disclosed price from sellers Richard A. Flintoft and Caroline P. Chase. No other street appeared more than once in the dataset. The remaining transfers were scattered across town: 194 Canaan Southfield Road, 185 Keyes Hill Road, 390 Old North Road, 204 Norfolk Road, 2066 Clayton Mill River Road, and one transfer with no listed street address. By price tier, one sale fell above $1 million ($1,375,000), and the other seven had no disclosed price and cannot be sorted into a tier.

MARKET NOTES The dataset includes several transfer types beyond straightforward buyer-seller sales. One deed recorded a transfer from Ian Devine and Steepletop Farm LLC to the New Marlborough Town Conservation, dated July 9. A foreclosure-related transfer moved the property at 194 Canaan Southfield Road from NBT Bank NA to buyers Richard LaRose Jr. and Alaina Marzinotto on July 6. The Keyes Hill Road property changed hands from the estate of Inez R. Streeter to Carleton T. and Olivia T. Goodnow on July 2. A utility acquisition sent 390 Old North Road from Christine B. Ward to Massachusetts Electric Co. on June 24. Two deeds involved trustees: the June 24 transfer of 204 Norfolk Road listed Victor M. Albano both individually and as trustee, and the June 23 transfer of 2066 Clayton Mill River Road listed Thomas G. King and Linda C. King, both as trustees. No beds, baths or square-footage figures were available from the deed records for any of the eight transfers.
