Every Hancock Property Sale in July Recorded With No Disclosed Price

HANCOCK -- Four property transfers were recorded in Hancock during the four-week period ending Aug. 1, and none of the deeds filed with the Northern Berkshire Registry of Deeds disclosed a sale price.

MARKET OVERVIEW Four sales were recorded between July 3 and Aug. 1. All four list no consideration amount, so a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated for this period. Based on raw count alone, four recorded transfers is a modest volume for a four-week stretch in a small town.

TOP SALES Because no sale prices were disclosed in any of the four deeds, sales cannot be ranked by price. They are listed here in order of recording date: 276 Brodie Mountain Road sold July 15; price not disclosed. Seller: Kathryn L. Middleton and Thomas E. Middleton. Buyer: Vacation Village in the Berkshires Owners Association Inc. An unspecified Hancock address sold July 14; price not disclosed. Seller: Patrick L. Casiere. Buyer: Vacation Village in the Berkshires Owners Association Inc. 203 Main St. sold July 10; price not disclosed. Seller: William Henry Von Thaden. Buyer: Barbara P. Han. 2790 Hancock Road sold July 6; price not disclosed. Seller: Adams Community Bank. Buyer: John J. VanCleave and Jenifer M. VanCleave. The deed references mortgage book 1569, page 146.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street had more than one recorded sale. Addresses spanned Brodie Mountain Road, Main Street and Hancock Road, plus one transfer for which the registry data provided no specific street address. With no price data available, sales cannot be grouped into price tiers for this period.

MARKET NOTES Two of the four transfers -- the Brodie Mountain Road property and the unaddressed Hancock parcel -- named the same buyer, Vacation Village in the Berkshires Owners Association Inc., with different individual sellers. The Hancock Road transfer listed Adams Community Bank as seller and referenced an associated mortgage book and page, distinguishing it from the other three transfers, which involved individual or trust-style sellers. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available from the deed records for any of the four sales, and no consideration amount was disclosed for any transaction, so no price-per-square-foot or price-trend observations can be made this period.
