Southampton Median Holds at $100,000 as Institutional Deed Transfers Dominate June Activity

SOUTHAMPTON -- Thirteen property transactions were recorded in Southampton at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds between June 12 and July 11, 2026, with financial institutions and the Town of Southampton appearing as parties in multiple filings. Only five of the 13 transfers carried disclosed sale prices, limiting the period's usefulness as a straightforward gauge of residential market conditions.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The 13 recorded deeds mark a modest period of activity for Southampton. Among the five transactions with disclosed considerations, prices ranged from $100,000 to $240,000, with a median of $100,000. The remaining eight transfers listed no sale price, a common occurrence in deed records for conveyances that do not represent arm's-length market sales — including foreclosure deeds, institutional dispositions, and other legal filings. With more than half the deeds lacking price data and several involving banks or credit unions as direct parties, the month's figures should be interpreted cautiously as a measure of the broader residential market.

TOP SALES

The highest disclosed consideration of the period was $240,000, recorded June 22 in a transfer from Gil Farm Road Estates Inc. to Giberson Construction Inc. No specific street address was listed for that parcel in the deed record. The next-highest disclosed price was 152 County Rd., which transferred June 16 for $150,000; the deed names Matthew Cole and Alyssa Cole as sellers and Gordon Richards Jr. as buyer. Three remaining disclosed-price transactions each carried a $100,000 consideration: 82 Cold Spring Rd., recorded June 22, with Citizens Bank NA as the grantee; 11 Fomer Rd., recorded June 18, with PeoplesBank as the grantee; and 79 Glendale Rd., also recorded June 18, with Citizens Bank NA again listed as buyer.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Gil Farm Road saw the highest concentration of activity in the period, with three deeds all recorded June 22. Gil Farm Road Estates Inc. transferred an unnumbered parcel to Giberson Construction Inc. for $240,000 and on the same date conveyed both 10 Gil Farm Rd. and 15 Gil Farm Rd. to the Town of Southampton; no consideration was disclosed on either of those municipal transfers. Strong Road had two filings from June 15: 129 Strong Rd. transferred from JPMorgan Chase Bank NA and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to David G. Dale and Irene N. Dale at an undisclosed price; and 18 Strong Rd. was the subject of a homestead declaration filing by Danielle C. Kowal. All other streets — Cold Spring Road, Fomer Road, Glendale Road, Valley Road, East Street, Crooked Ledge Road, and Coleman Road — each had a single recorded deed in the period.

MARKET NOTES

The dataset for this period contains several entries that reflect institutional or legal filings rather than conventional residential sales. Four transactions list financial institutions as buyers: 82 Cold Spring Rd. and 79 Glendale Rd. to Citizens Bank NA, 11 Fomer Rd. to PeoplesBank, and 52 Coleman Rd. to Cross River Bank. The three with disclosed prices each recorded $100,000 in consideration, a figure that may reflect foreclosure deed conventions rather than open-market value. Two additional transfers list credit unions as sellers — Freedom Credit Union conveying 110 Valley Rd. to Tasha M. Virgilio and Polish National Credit Union conveying 115 Crooked Ledge Rd. to Daniel G. Fanion and Amelia Fanion — at undisclosed prices consistent with possible bank-owned property dispositions. Two filings are best understood as legal instrument recordings rather than purchases: 18 Strong Rd. lists "Declaration of Homestead" as the grantee, a property protection filing under Massachusetts law, and 160 East St. lists "Waiver of Right of First Refusal" as the grantee. Taken together, these patterns mean the five disclosed prices — and the $100,000 median they produce — should not be read as a reliable index of Southampton's residential market for this period. The one straightforward private-party sale with a disclosed price was 152 County Rd. at $150,000.
