Lee June Deed Data Yields Single Disclosed Price in Instrument-Heavy Recording Period

LEE -- Thirteen property instruments were recorded in Lee with the Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds between June 12 and July 11, 2026, but only one of the 13 carried a disclosed consideration amount, substantially limiting what the dataset reveals about current market conditions.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The period produced 13 recorded instruments spanning deeds, mortgage discharges, and trust and estate transfers. Of those, one transaction -- a sale at 40 Fox Run recorded June 15 -- disclosed a consideration amount of $520,000, making it both the period's sole pricing data point and its effective median. With 12 of the 13 instruments listing no consideration, no meaningful price range or trend can be derived. The volume of 13 recorded instruments over roughly 30 days is modest, but whether that reflects a slower stretch of market activity or a data artifact of the recording pipeline cannot be determined from the instruments alone.

TOP SALES

The only transaction in the dataset with a disclosed price was 40 Fox Run, which recorded June 15 at $520,000. The sellers were Stephanie Kerr and Gregory Kerr; the buyer of record is Lee Bank. The deed data does not describe the nature of the transfer, and no additional details are available from the recorded instrument.

No other transaction in the dataset disclosed a consideration amount.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Fairview Street was the most active corridor in the dataset, accounting for four of the 13 recorded instruments across three separate addresses -- 115, 765, and 1020 Fairview St. The entry at 115 Fairview St. appears twice, each referencing a document in a different deed book, a pattern consistent with corrective or confirmatory instruments tied to a single underlying transaction. A similar pattern appeared at 205 Summer St., which also carries two recorded instruments referencing separate deed books, with different grantors on each.

Beyond those clusters, the remaining transactions were distributed across Old Pleasant Street, Mallard Lane, Fox Run, Saint James Avenue, East Center Street, and Theresa Terrace. One entry in the dataset carries no street address.

MARKET NOTES

Several features of the dataset reflect instrument type rather than arm's-length market activity and are worth describing separately.

Multiple entries carry a mortgage-book reference notation in the property field, indicating they are likely mortgage discharges or satisfactions rather than deeds conveying ownership. These include instruments at 35 Saint James Ave., 50 East Center St., 140 Theresa Ter., and 1020 Fairview St., each listing a financial institution or its agent as grantor. Such instruments are typically recorded in connection with a loan payoff or refinance and do not necessarily represent new property purchases.

At 765 Fairview St., the seller of record is Cady Street LLC and the buyer is Lee Town, suggesting a possible municipal acquisition. No consideration is disclosed and the deed does not describe the purpose of the transfer.

The instrument at 750 Mallard Lane Unit 4 lists Kusum Gaind on both sides of the transaction -- as part of the grantor entity and again as co-trustee alongside Rupinder Singh Puri on the grantee side -- a structure consistent with a transfer of property into a trust rather than a sale to an outside party.

At 205 Summer St., one of the two recorded instruments identifies the grantor as the William F. Derrick Testamentary Trust, indicating a transfer out of a decedent's estate.

One entry in the dataset, with UMassFive College Federal Credit Union as grantor and Christopher W. and Beth E. Goetze as grantees, carries no street address in the record.

Taken together, the June dataset for Lee is weighted heavily toward mortgage discharges, estate and trust transfers, and institutional transactions, with a single disclosed arm's-length sale price on record. The data does not support conclusions about residential market direction in Lee for the period.
