Belchertown Deed Records for June Yield Only Two Disclosed Sale Prices

BELCHERTOWN -- Only two of 13 instruments recorded in Hampshire County deed records for Belchertown between May 31 and June 29, 2026, carry disclosed sale prices, and a review of the full dataset shows the majority of entries are not arm's-length property sales.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• The registry data for this period includes 13 recorded instruments, but most do not represent conventional property sales. Entries include mortgage assignments from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., a tax lien recording, a Declaration of Homestead filing, an Order of Notice associated with foreclosure proceedings, a Certificate of Trust, and intra-family or intra-trust transfers. Of the 13 entries, only two carry disclosed consideration amounts: $200,000 at 41 Doe Hollow and $65,000 at 23 Tucker Lane. The dataset's own median of $132,500 reflects those two figures only. Drawing conclusions about Belchertown's housing market from this month's deed data is not possible given the volume and character of non-sale instruments.
• TOP SALES
• The highest disclosed consideration in the dataset is $200,000 for the property at 41 Doe Hollow, recorded June 2, with Robinson Renate C. and Robinson Lee J. as sellers and Citizens Bank NA as the listed buyer. The nature of this transfer — a bank as grantee — may indicate a mortgage-related instrument rather than a conventional purchase; the deed record does not specify further. The second disclosed amount is $65,000 at 23 Tucker Lane, recorded June 2, where trustees Lapenas Cara L. and Newland Denise M. conveyed the property to Lapenas Cara L., one of the same trustees, suggesting an intra-trust restructuring rather than an open-market sale.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• With only two disclosed-price entries and the bulk of instruments being legal or financial filings rather than property transfers, no meaningful geographic or price-tier pattern can be drawn from this month's data. Streets represented across all 13 instruments include Doe Hollow, Tucker Lane, Hamilton Street, Cold Spring Road, South Gulf Road, Aldrich Street, Sheffield Drive, Warren Wright Street, Sargent Street, Old Enfield Road, Bay Road, and Allen Road, spread across multiple areas of town, but the mix of instrument types prevents any useful clustering analysis.
• MARKET NOTES
• The preponderance of non-sale deed instruments in this recording period — including at least two mortgage assignments involving MERS as seller, one Order of Notice, one tax lien, one Declaration of Homestead, and one Certificate of Trust — reflects routine legal activity at the registry rather than property market activity. Readers and researchers seeking a reliable picture of Belchertown home sales for this period should consult a fuller dataset or a subsequent month with greater arm's-length transaction volume.
