Southampton Home Sale Prices Range Widely as Most Deeds Omit Price

SOUTHAMPTON -- Ten property-related documents were recorded at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds for Southampton addresses between June 19 and July 18, but only two of them disclosed a sale price, limiting what can be said about the month's overall housing values.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Ten deeds tied to Southampton properties were recorded during the period. Of those, two disclosed a sale price: $76,767 and $100,000, for a median of $88,383. Because pricing information covers only two of the ten recorded documents, the raw count of 10 does not by itself indicate an active or quiet sales period -- most of the recorded activity cannot be evaluated on price, and several of the documents are not property sales in the conventional sense (see Market Notes).

TOP SALES

82 Cold Spring Rd sold for $100,000, recorded June 22. The deed lists Dale G. Malanson as seller and Citizens Bank NA as buyer.

27 Katelyn Way sold for $76,767, recorded June 24. The deed lists Grzegorz F. Robak and Grzegorz Robak as sellers and Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp as buyer.

No other transaction in the dataset disclosed a sale price. Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from deed records.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

East Street had two recorded transactions: 160 East St (June 24, price not disclosed) and 186 East St (June 22, price not disclosed; this filing is a declaration of homestead rather than a sale).

Gil Farm Road also had two recorded transactions: 15 Gil Farm Rd and 10 Gil Farm Rd, both recorded June 22 with Gil Farm Road Estates Inc as seller and the Town of Southampton as buyer, price not disclosed on either. A related filing releasing a lot from Gil Farm Road Estates Inc was also recorded the same day.

The remaining recorded properties -- 27 Katelyn Way, 36 Line St, 11 Hillside Meadow Dr, and 169 College Highway -- each had one transaction apiece. By price tier, the only two disclosed sales both fall under $500,000: $76,767 and $100,000.

MARKET NOTES

Banks and mortgage-related entities appear as a party -- buyer or seller -- in four of the ten recorded documents: Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp (27 Katelyn Way), Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc/MERS (36 Line St), Fifth Third Bank NA (11 Hillside Meadow Dr), and Citizens Bank NA (82 Cold Spring Rd).

Two of the ten recorded documents transferred property to the Town of Southampton (15 and 10 Gil Farm Rd), both from Gil Farm Road Estates Inc, with no price disclosed on either.

Several of the ten recorded items were not property sales but other instrument types: a first amendment to a notice of lease (160 East St), an assignment of rents (169 College Highway), a release of lot (Gil Farm Road Estates Inc parcel), and a declaration of homestead (186 East St). These do not represent arm's-length property purchases and carry no sale price by their nature.

No square-footage, bed or bath data was available for any property in this dataset, and no property type (single-family, condominium, multi-family) was specified in the deed records provided.
