South Street Sale at $1.13 Million Tops Williamstown's June Deed Recordings

WILLIAMSTOWN -- A $1,130,000 sale on South Street headlined Williamstown's June recording period, though the month's overall picture was shaped more by mortgage and lien-related filings than by straightforward arm's-length transactions. Of 16 recorded deeds, only five carried disclosed sale prices.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Sixteen deeds were recorded in Williamstown between May 31 and June 29, 2026, but the majority — 11 of 16 — listed no consideration amount. Among the five sales with disclosed prices, the range ran from $20,000 to $1,130,000, with a median of $50,000. That median figure is heavily influenced by the preponderance of low-dollar entries that appear to reflect mortgage discharges, lien releases, or collateral transfers rather than conventional home purchases. The raw sale count of 16 suggests a moderately active recording month, but the limited price disclosure makes a reliable market-price assessment difficult.
• TOP SALES
• The month's highest-priced transaction was 148 South St., which sold June 9 for $1,130,000. Olivier Meslay and Laure Meslay were the sellers; Eileen H. Dowling was the buyer. A second deed recorded the same day at the same address, from Dowling as grantor, carried no disclosed price and may reflect a related financing instrument. The next disclosed sale was 518 Water St., which changed hands June 11 for $340,000; the buyers were listed as Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and TD Bank N.A., suggesting the recorded instrument is mortgage-related rather than a conventional purchase. Rounding out the disclosed sales, 5 Windflower Way sold June 10 for $50,000 — with MountainOne Bank as buyer — and 1192 Main St. sold June 15 for $50,000 to TD Bank N.A. The lowest disclosed consideration was $20,000 for 1993 Cold Spring Rd., recorded June 10 with Greylock Federal Credit Union as buyer.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• South Street accounted for two recorded deeds — 148 South St. and 115 South St. — making it the only street with multiple distinct addresses in the dataset. Sand Springs Road also generated two filings, both at 218 Sand Springs Rd. and both listing MountainOne Bank as grantor and Thomas Joseph and Cathleen Mary Aliberti as grantees on consecutive recording dates, June 5 and June 8; the dual entries likely reflect separate mortgage instruments tied to the same property. Bulkley Street saw two deeds recorded the same day at 231 Bulkley St., with Sandra Toll Goodbody transferring the property into a trust arrangement shared with Thomas Bardon Goodbody — a pattern consistent with an estate-planning transfer. The remaining addresses — Forest Road, North Hemlock Lane, North Hoosac Road, Water Street, Windflower Way, Cold Spring Road, Main Street, and Elliott Drive — each appeared once. One entry carried no street address.
• MARKET NOTES
• The most significant data pattern this period is the high proportion of bank- or lender-involved transactions. In at least eight of the 16 recorded deeds, a financial institution — TD Bank N.A., MountainOne Bank, Bank of America N.A., Greylock Federal Credit Union, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., or First American Mortgage Solutions LLC — appeared as either grantor or grantee. This is consistent with mortgage discharges, foreclosure-related recordings, or lien releases rather than conventional sales, and it limits the ability to draw conclusions about prevailing market prices from this month's deed data alone. No square footage data was available for any property; price-per-square-foot analysis was not possible.
