MARKET OVERVIEW

The Franklin County Registry of Deeds recorded 11 property transfers in Leverett during the period, but only four carried a disclosed consideration amount. Among those four, prices ranged from $90,000 to $293,300, with a median of $161,500. The raw count of 11 recorded transfers, taken on its own and without historical or regional comparison data, does not indicate whether this represents a more or less active period than usual for the town.

The highest-priced disclosed transaction was 20 North Leverett Road, which sold for $293,300 on July 1. Marielle L. Emond was listed as seller, with Greenfield Savings Bank as buyer. The second-highest was 247 Long Plain Road, sold July 1 for $200,000, with Patrick J. Geryk as seller and UMassFive College Federal Credit Union as buyer.

UMassFive College Federal Credit Union appears as buyer in two transactions (32 Juggler Meadow Road and 247 Long Plain Road) and as seller in a third (88 Shutesbury Road, price not disclosed, buyers Roger B. Bird and Rachel Peterson). Greenfield Savings Bank appears as buyer at 20 North Leverett Road and as part of the seller listing at 20 N Leverett Road. PNC Bank NA appears as buyer at 25 Laurel Hill Drive, and Bank of America NA appears as seller, through an attorney, at 117 N Leverett Road. In total, six of the 11 recorded transfers list a bank or credit union as either grantor or grantee.
