PELHAM -- Only two of the 10 deed instruments recorded in Pelham between June 6 and July 5, 2026, carried disclosed sale prices, leaving the month's market picture largely opaque and heavily colored by lender-related and legal filings rather than conventional property sales.
- MARKET OVERVIEW
- Of the 10 instruments recorded at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds during the period, three appear to be non-conveyance legal filings — a homestead declaration, a certificate of trust recording, and a municipal project agreement — rather than property transfers. Of the remaining seven deed transfers, only two disclosed consideration amounts: $25,000 and $590,000. With just two data points, a statistically reliable median cannot be calculated; the midpoint of those two figures is $307,500. The volume of lender-connected transfers — involving Florence Bank, UMassFive College Federal Credit Union, Navy Federal Credit Union, and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as grantors — is the defining characteristic of this recording period.
- TOP SALES
- The highest disclosed consideration in the period was $590,000, recorded June 16 at 77 Arnold Rd. The deed lists Isaiah Weiss and Lilia Teal as sellers and Greenfield Cooperative Bank as the buyer; because the buyer is a financial institution, this instrument may reflect a mortgage recording rather than a conventional property sale, and should be interpreted accordingly. The only other disclosed consideration was $25,000, recorded July 2 at 7 Pine Tree Cir., with James E. and Deirdre McGinniss as sellers and Citizens Bank NA as buyer; that transaction similarly involves a bank as grantee and may represent a lien-related transfer rather than a market-rate sale.
- NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
- Two of the seven deed transfers with identifiable addresses involved properties on Arnold Rd. — 77 Arnold Rd. and 20 Arnold Rd. — making it the only street with multiple entries in the period. Two transfers were recorded on Amherst Rd. (44 Amherst Rd. and 119 Amherst Rd.), one each on Harkness Rd., Pine Tree Cir., Gulf Rd., Bray Court, and South Valley Rd. No price data is available for the Amherst Rd. transfers, so no price-tier grouping is possible.
- MARKET NOTES
- The majority of deed transfers this period involved financial institutions or estate and trust instruments as grantors or grantees — Florence Bank, UMassFive College Federal Credit Union, Navy Federal Credit Union, and MERS among sellers; a trust acceptance at 11 Gulf Rd.; and an estate-related affidavit at 119 Amherst Rd. This pattern limits the data available to gauge conventional buyer-seller market activity in Pelham for this period. Readers tracking residential sales trends should note that the two disclosed consideration amounts may not reflect arm's-length market transactions.
