Sandisfield June Sales Show Wide Price Gap Among Disclosed Transactions

SANDISFIELD -- A land sale on West Street topped the local market in June, reaching $315,000 as eight deeds were recorded at the Southern Berkshire Registry of Deeds between June 6 and July 5, 2026, though only half carried disclosed sale prices.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Eight transactions were recorded during the period, but only four included disclosed consideration amounts. Those four sales ranged from $100,000 to $315,000, with a median sale price of $212,500. With half of all transfers carrying no disclosed price, the dataset offers a limited window into current market conditions; the raw volume of eight recordings in a single month is relatively active for a small rural community, but price conclusions should be drawn cautiously given the disclosure gaps.
• TOP SALES
• The highest-priced disclosed transaction was the June 12 sale of 0 West St., a parcel with no street number that sold for $315,000. Cynthia Ann Nienart Pease, also recorded as Cynthia Ann Pease, conveyed the property to Sandy Falk and Daniel Judson. The second-highest disclosed sale was 85 South Main St., which sold for $300,000 on June 17; Bonnie A. Harbour and Bonnie Ann Reycroft conveyed the property to Hattie White. Notably, a deed recorded June 10 shows Lee Bank and Legacy Banks conveying the same South Main Street address to Harbour and Reycroft with no disclosed price, suggesting a prior transfer in the same chain of title within the same month. The sale of 54 New Hartford Rd. on June 22 for $125,000 transferred from Diane Barth to Lee Bank, a transaction that may reflect a bank-related conveyance. A fourth sale recorded June 25 carried a price of $100,000 but listed no street address in the registry data; the seller of record is Linda M. Nolau, listed as personal representative, with no buyer name available in the data.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Two deeds reference 85 South Main Street, recording sequential transfers within the same month; taken together they suggest a resale or intermediate conveyance rather than two independent arm's-length sales. The West Street parcel stands alone as the sole disclosed land transaction and the month's price leader at $315,000. The remaining disclosed sales — New Hartford Road at $125,000 and the address-unspecified $100,000 transfer — fall in the sub-$200,000 tier. The four transfers carrying no disclosed price are spread across Shade Road, Town Hill Road, South Main Street, and Silverbrook Road.
• MARKET NOTES
• Square footage data is unavailable for this period, so price-per-square-foot analysis cannot be performed. The mix of buyers and sellers includes a bank as both a grantor (Operative Bank at 107 Town Hill Rd.) and a grantee (Lee Bank at 54 New Hartford Rd.), indicating at least two transactions with institutional parties on one side of the transfer. The Shade Road deed transfers property from an estate — the Elisabeth Ann Meier estate — into a living trust bearing the same family name, a pattern consistent with estate administration. Four of the eight recorded deeds carry no disclosed consideration, which limits meaningful price analysis for the month.
