Middlefield deed prices go undisclosed across all three July transactions

MIDDLEFIELD -- Three deeds were recorded in Middlefield between June 19 and July 18, according to Hampshire County Registry of Deeds records, including a parcel acquired by the Town of Middlefield. None of the transactions disclosed a sale price.

MARKET OVERVIEW Three sales were recorded during the period. No consideration amount was listed on any of the three deeds, so a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated for this period. Three transactions is a modest count for a one-month window in a small town, though the absence of price data limits further assessment of market activity.

TOP SALES Because none of the three recorded deeds disclosed a sale price, transactions cannot be ranked by value this period. They are listed here in order of recording date.

75 West Hill Road sold July 30 (recorded), price not disclosed. Seller Joan Wright transferred the property to Carl A. Lafreniere and Laura H. Lafreniere.

116 Skyline Trail sold July 6, price not disclosed. The seller was Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (MERS), and the buyer was Daniel Cimini.

0 West Hill Road sold June 23, price not disclosed. Sellers Rickey J. Beckett Jr. and Elizabeth A. Beckett transferred the property to the Town of Middlefield.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN West Hill Road accounted for two of the three recorded transfers this period: the parcel at 0 West Hill Road, acquired by the town, and the sale at 75 West Hill Road to the Lafrenieres. The third transaction, at 116 Skyline Trail, was the only recorded sale outside West Hill Road. With no sale prices disclosed, transactions cannot be grouped into price tiers this period.

MARKET NOTES The three deeds show a mix of transfer types rather than a uniform pattern of residential resales. The 116 Skyline Trail deed lists Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as seller, indicating the property changed hands through a bank-related transfer rather than a private sale. The 0 West Hill Road deed lists the Town of Middlefield as buyer, indicating a municipal land acquisition rather than a residential purchase; the "0" street number on the deed suggests the parcel may be unimproved land, though the registry data does not specify. The remaining transaction, 75 West Hill Road, appears to be a conventional sale between private parties, with joint buyers listed. No sales in this dataset show evidence of a same-family trust or estate transfer, as grantor and grantee surnames differ across all three deeds. Beds, baths and square footage are not available from deed records for any of the three properties.
