North Adams home prices span $50,000 to $280,000 in recorded deeds

NORTH ADAMS -- Eighteen deeds were recorded at the Northern Berkshire Registry of Deeds for North Adams properties between June 19 and July 18, with disclosed sale prices ranging from $50,000 to $280,000. Twelve of the 18 recorded transactions did not include a disclosed sale price.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 18 total deed transactions in the period, six of which included a disclosed sale price. Among those six, prices ranged from $50,000 to $280,000, with a median of $127,500. The raw count of 18 recorded deeds reflects a mix of transaction types, including several properties that appear more than once in the record with related filings such as mortgage discharges. No statewide or regional comparison is available from this data.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was 93 North St., which sold for $280,000 on June 24. The seller was listed as Sidney A. Rothstein and Luiza Geraldi Folegatti; the buyers were James Scott Moore Sr. and James Moore Jr.

81 Elmwood Ave. sold for $209,000 on June 23. The seller was Lydia Jasper; the buyer was listed as Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Primis Mortgage Co.

798 Mohawk Trail sold for $175,000 on June 25. The sellers were Thomas R. Rostock and Nicholas Elton Dane; the buyer was Tylor Mandeville.

15 Myers Ave. sold for $80,000 on June 22. The seller was Phyllis Criddle; the buyer was listed as Adams Community Bank.

30 Hathaway St. sold for $65,000 on June 24. The seller was Molly E. Odowd; the buyer was listed as Adams Community Bank.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street had more than one distinct disclosed-price sale in the period; addresses that appear more than once in the registry data, including Mohawk Trail, Hathaway Street, Elmwood Avenue, Myers Avenue and Marion Avenue, each represent a single property tied to multiple recorded documents rather than separate sales on the same street.

By price tier, one disclosed sale topped $250,000 (93 North St., $280,000). Two fell between $100,000 and $250,000: 81 Elmwood Ave. ($209,000) and 798 Mohawk Trail ($175,000). Three fell under $100,000: 15 Myers Ave. ($80,000), 30 Hathaway St. ($65,000) and 49 Marion Ave. ($50,000).

MARKET NOTES

Twelve of the 18 recorded deeds did not disclose a sale price, consistent with normal patterns in registry data. Several properties, including 30 Hathaway St., 15 Myers Ave. and 49 Marion Ave., show a conveyance to Adams Community Bank followed by a separate recorded conveyance back to the same individual named as the original seller, a pattern consistent with mortgage-related filings rather than a change in ownership. Beds, baths and square footage were not available from the deed records for any property, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made.

Two entries involved institutional or municipal parties rather than individual buyers or sellers: a property associated with the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art Foundation Inc. was conveyed to North Adams City on June 24, and a separate deed listed North Adams City as seller on the same date, both without a disclosed price. A deed for 17 Yale St., recorded June 23, listed Mark Mulherrin as both seller and, along with Kirsten Warming, as buyer, with no price disclosed -- a pattern consistent with an ownership addition rather than a traditional sale.
