Lee Sale Prices Span $144,897 To $1.2 Million In Early Deed Data

LEE -- The Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds recorded 16 property transactions in Lee between May 28 and June 26, but only two carried a sale price by the time the data was compiled, leaving most of the period's market activity still to be priced.

MARKET OVERVIEW Sixteen deeds were recorded in Lee during the period. Of those, two show a recorded sale price: $144,897 and $1,200,000. The remaining 13 are marked "price not yet available," which typically means the consideration has not yet reached the registry's data, not that a price was withheld. One additional entry, the transfer of 190 Leisure Lee Rd from the Lee Town Treasurer to William Glassner, is recorded as a nominal-consideration transfer and is not counted as a sale. With only two sales carrying a price, there isn't enough data to calculate a meaningful median this period; the two recorded prices span from $144,897 to $1,200,000. The raw count of 16 recorded transactions is noted here without comparison to prior periods, since no baseline figures were provided.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction recorded was $1,200,000, closing June 5. The deed lists sellers as "A Stockbridge Terrace" and Thomas R. Manisero, with buyers Joel B. Hart and Nancy C. Hart. A specific street address was not provided in the deed data. The second recorded sale was 100 East St., which sold for $144,897 on June 5. Sellers were Matthew J. Callahan and Lisa R. Callahan; buyers were Homebridge Financial Services Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. No other transactions in the period show a recorded sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Stockbridge Terrace shows the most activity on a single street, with three related entries: the $1.2 million transaction tied to "A Stockbridge Terrace," the June 5 transfer of 62 Stockbridge Ter. from Thomas and Leslie Ganz Manisero to the Town of Lee, and the transfer of 62 Stockbridge Ter. Unit 3A from "A Stockbridge Terrace" to the Stockbridge Terrace Unit Owners Trust. Greylock Street also appears twice: 350 Greylock St., sold June 3 from Flagstar Bank NA and Rocket Mortgage LLC to Conrad and Margaret Ohman, and 455 Greylock St., sold June 1 from Greylock Federal Credit Union to Jodi K. Briggs; neither carries a recorded price yet. Among the two priced sales, one falls under $500,000 ($144,897) and one falls over $1 million ($1.2 million); no sales were recorded in the $500,000-to-$1-million tier this period.

MARKET NOTES Fourteen of the 16 recorded deeds, including the nominal-consideration transfer, do not yet show a sale price, limiting what can be said about overall market pricing this period. Several entries reference mortgage book and page numbers (for example, 770 Summer St., 350 Greylock St., 81 George St., 195 Golden Hill, 735 Cape St., 85 Via Franco, 455 Greylock St. and 40 Lois St.), and some list banks or mortgage servicers, such as Greylock Federal Credit Union, Wells Fargo Bank NA, Flagstar Bank NA and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., as sellers or buyers. One entry, 62 Stockbridge Ter. Unit 3A, is explicitly identified as a condominium unit transfer through its "Unit 3A" designation and the Stockbridge Terrace Unit Owners Trust as buyer; no other property type can be determined from the available address data. No beds, baths or square footage figures were available for any of the 16 transactions, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made this period.
