Two Disclosed Petersham Sales Span $97,000 to $180,000 This Period

PETERSHAM -- Ten deeds were recorded in Petersham between July 17 and Aug. 13, 2026, but only two of those transactions disclosed a sale price, leaving most of the period's property activity undocumented in dollar terms.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten property transfers were recorded in Petersham during the period, but only two of the ten deeds included a disclosed sale price, which is common for deed data since consideration amounts are frequently withheld from the recorded instrument. Among the two disclosed sales, prices ranged from $97,000 to $180,000, with a median of $138,500. Because eight of the ten deeds, or 80 percent, carry no price, the raw count of ten recorded transfers does not by itself indicate whether the period was active or quiet in dollar terms; it reflects ten completed property transfers, most without a documented price.

TOP SALES 63 Monson Turnpike Road sold for $180,000 on Aug. 10, 2026. Seller Eric M. Hood conveyed the property to buyer B Construction LLC. A Petersham property, street address not specified in the deed record, sold for $97,000 on July 17, 2026. Sellers John H. Sherwood and Peter R. Sherwood conveyed the property to buyers Roger McHugh and Kathleen McHugh. No other transaction in the period included a disclosed sale price. The remaining eight deeds are detailed in the neighborhood breakdown below.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Monson Turnpike Road recorded three separate deed entries during the period, more than any other street. 63 Monson Turnpike Road changed hands twice on Aug. 10, 2026: once for the disclosed $180,000 sale from Eric M. Hood to B Construction LLC, and a second deed recorded the same day from seller Eric Hood with no buyer or price listed. A third property on the same street, 61 Monson Turnpike Road, transferred Aug. 3 from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. to Tidewater Mortgage Services Inc., with no price disclosed. North Main Street also recorded two transfers: 324 North Main St. on Aug. 4, with sellers Petersham Town Conservation and Emery Boose and no buyer or price listed, and 375 North Main St. on July 23, with sellers Brian R. Lapati and Jesslyn L. Lapati and no buyer or price listed. The remaining transfers were scattered across individual streets, each the only recorded deed on that street this period: 206 Barre Road (Aug. 13), 206 Nichewaug Road (Aug. 5), 22 Old Hardwick Road (July 27), 15 Old East Street (July 24), and the one Petersham property without a listed street address (July 17). By price tier, of the two disclosed sales, one fell under $100,000 ($97,000) and one fell in the $100,000-to-$200,000 range ($180,000). The remaining eight transfers cannot be sorted into a price tier because no price was disclosed.

MARKET NOTES Several transfers in the period involved lenders or loan servicers rather than individual sellers, a pattern consistent with foreclosure-related or mortgage-servicing transfers rather than open-market sales. Cornerstone Bank took title to 206 Nichewaug Road on Aug. 5 from sellers Paul E. Koulouris and Paul Koulouris. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. transferred 61 Monson Turnpike Road to Tidewater Mortgage Services Inc. on Aug. 3. Bank of America N.A. transferred 22 Old Hardwick Road to First American Mortgage Solutions LLC on July 27. At 206 Barre Road, seller Marie C. Erie also appears among the deed's buyers, alongside Leobardo Mondragon Velez, indicating the transfer added a co-owner to a property Erie already held rather than a sale to an entirely new party. No sale price was disclosed for that transfer. Deed records in this dataset do not include square footage, bedroom or bathroom counts, or property type such as single-family, condominium or multi-family, so no price-per-square-foot or property-type comparisons can be drawn from this period's data.
