New Salem Records Just Two Property Transfers in Limited June-July Data

NEW SALEM -- Only two property transfers were recorded in New Salem between June 19 and July 18, according to Franklin County Registry of Deeds filings, a volume too small to draw conclusions about local market conditions.

MARKET OVERVIEW Two deeds were recorded during the period. Only one carried a disclosed sale price, $645,000, for 15 Stone Hill Road. The second property's price was not disclosed. With just one disclosed price, a median cannot be meaningfully calculated, and the small sample size does not support characterizing the period as active or quiet.

TOP SALES 15 Stone Hill Road sold for $645,000, recorded July 13. Sellers were Gail A. Mallett and Lee Mallett; the buyers were the Federal Housing Commissioner and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available from the deed record.

70 North Main Street changed hands June 29; the sale price was not disclosed. The sellers were Deutsche Bank National Trust and PHH Mortgage Corp. No buyer name was listed in the deed data provided.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN With only two recorded sales on two different streets, no street-level or price-tier pattern can be established from this period's data.

MARKET NOTES Both recorded transfers involved institutional parties rather than individual buyers on one side of the transaction: HUD and the Federal Housing Commissioner acquired 15 Stone Hill Road, while Deutsche Bank National Trust and PHH Mortgage Corp appear as sellers of 70 North Main Street. No property-type mix, price-per-square-foot, or other pattern can be drawn from two transactions. A fuller picture of New Salem's market will require more recorded sales in coming periods.
