Northfield June Deed Filings Show Only Two of Ten Sales With Disclosed Prices

NORTHFIELD -- Ten property transfers were recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds for Northfield between June 12 and July 11, 2026, but only two carried disclosed sale prices, leaving most of the month's market activity opaque to public assessment.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten deeds were recorded during the period. Of those, eight carried no consideration amount — a rate of price non-disclosure that sharply limits analysis of the overall market. The two transactions with disclosed prices came in at $80,000 and $170,000, placing the median for disclosed sales at $125,000. That figure reflects only 20 percent of the month's recorded activity and should not be treated as representative of the full market. The raw count of ten transfers represents a modest level of activity for a town of Northfield's size, though the prevalence of institutional sellers — five of ten transactions — distinguishes this period from typical residential resale patterns.

TOP SALES The highest disclosed sale of the period was 20 Pine Road, which transferred on June 15 for $170,000. Sellers Sherburne Phillips B. and Anne H. conveyed the property to buyer Mark Wightman.

The only other transaction with a disclosed consideration was recorded June 23 for $80,000. The deed lists sellers Samuel Browning Jr. and Karin Browning and buyer Scott Zilinski. No street address appears in the deed data for this transaction — only the municipality of Northfield.

The remaining eight transactions in the dataset carry no disclosed sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Millers Falls Road was the most active corridor in the dataset, with two recorded transfers. The property at 304 Millers Falls Road transferred June 23 from Robert F. and Diane M. Fuller to Jacob R. and Mirandah A. Fuller, price not disclosed; the shared surname suggests a family conveyance, though the record does not indicate the nature of the transfer. A second property at 230 Millers Falls Road transferred June 17 from Jacob I. Desgres and Camille L. Phillips; no buyer name appears in the dataset for that transaction, and no price was disclosed.

Other addresses recorded individually during the period: 18 Glen Road (June 24, price not disclosed, seller Daniel J. and Cynthia Goodwin, no buyer listed in dataset); 746 Gulf Road (June 17, price not disclosed); 184 Winchester Road (June 16, price not disclosed); 664 Mt. Hermon Station Road (June 15, price not disclosed); 501 S. Mountain Road (June 15, price not disclosed); and 43 Strowbridge Road (June 12, price not disclosed, buyer Brian M. Smith and Melissa L. Dion).

MARKET NOTES Five of the ten recorded deeds list institutional lenders or government agencies as sellers, the most prominent pattern in this month's data. Wells Fargo Bank NA and Freedom Mortgage Corp appear as co-sellers on two transactions — 664 Mt. Hermon Station Road and 501 S. Mountain Road, both recorded June 15 — with no buyers listed in the dataset for either. Rocket Mortgage LLC and Quicken Loans LLC appear as co-sellers on 43 Strowbridge Road, conveying to Brian M. Smith and Melissa L. Dion. The property at 184 Winchester Road lists USA Housing and Urban Development (by attorney) and Networks Corp (by attorney) as sellers, with Melissa A. Barton as buyer. The property at 746 Gulf Road transferred from Operative Bank and Greenfield Cooperative Bank to Barbara Ann Buschner and Barbara B. Kibler.

The concentration of lender and agency sellers — representing half the month's recorded activity — is a notable characteristic of this period's deed filings. Deed records alone do not indicate whether these transfers stem from foreclosure proceedings, loan payoffs, or other institutional activity. With eight of ten transactions carrying no disclosed consideration, the data does not support conclusions about pricing trends in the broader Northfield residential market.
