Sandisfield Median Sale Price Reaches $125,000 as Lender Transfers Crowd June Deed Records

SANDISFIELD -- A review of deeds recorded at the Southern Berkshire Registry of Deeds between May 28 and June 26, 2026, shows 11 property transfers in Sandisfield, though only five carried disclosed sale prices — a mix that reflects a blend of conventional sales, lender transactions, and at least one apparent family trust transfer.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Five of the 11 recorded transfers included disclosed consideration amounts, limiting the picture of overall market activity. Among those five, prices ranged from $40,000 to $315,000, with a median sale price of $125,000. The raw count of 11 transfers over roughly a month represents modest activity for a rural community of Sandisfield's size, but the high proportion of non-arm's-length or undisclosed-price transactions means the five priced sales should not be taken as a complete market indicator for the period.
• TOP SALES
• The highest-priced transaction in the period was the sale of 0 West St. for $315,000. Cynthia Ann Nienart Pease and Cynthia Ann Pease conveyed the property — recorded as a West Street parcel with no building number — to Sandy Falk and Daniel Judson on June 12. The second-highest disclosed sale was 85 South Main St., which transferred for $300,000 on June 17 from Bonnie A. Harbour and Bonnie Ann Reycroft to Hattie White. That same address had appeared in an earlier transfer on June 10, when Berkshire Bank and Legacy Banks conveyed the property to Harbour and Reycroft at a price not disclosed, suggesting the property changed hands twice within the month. The third-ranked disclosed sale was 54 New Hartford Rd., which sold for $125,000 on June 22 from Diane Barth to Lee Bank.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Two streets each appear more than once in the deed data. Town Hill Road accounts for two transfers: 107 Town Hill Rd. (price not disclosed, sold June 23) and 207 Town Hill Rd. ($40,000, sold June 2). New Hartford Road also saw two transfers: 54 New Hartford Rd. ($125,000) and 153 New Hartford Rd. (price not disclosed). Among the five disclosed sales, three fell under $150,000, one reached the $300,000 range, and one topped out at $315,000, leaving a wide gap in the mid-market with no sales recorded between $125,000 and $300,000.
• MARKET NOTES
• Several transfers in this period involve financial institutions rather than traditional buyers and sellers. Two separate deeds — 53 Rood Hill Rd. and 11 Sandisfield Rd. — list Discover Bank and Capital One NA as grantors and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank NA as grantees, with no prices disclosed; these appear to be lender-to-lender or foreclosure-related conveyances rather than conventional sales. Lee Bank appears both as a grantee (54 New Hartford Rd., $125,000) and as a grantor (7 Silverbrook Rd., price not disclosed), consistent with lending institution activity. The transfer of 153 New Hartford Rd. from individual sellers to Jean Paul Blachere TR and Eva Blachere TR follows a pattern common to trust conveyances. Sale No. 1 in the dataset lists no street address and carries a $100,000 price with Linda M. Nolau listed as personal representative; without an address, this transfer cannot be tied to a specific location.
