Conway's Two Disclosed Sales Range From $360,000 to $499,000 in Quiet June

CONWAY -- The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation recorded a $360,000 land purchase in Conway in late June, one of only two transactions in the period to carry a disclosed sale price among eight total deeds recorded between June 12 and July 11, 2026.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eight deeds were recorded in Conway during the review period. Sale prices were disclosed in two of those transfers, with figures ranging from $360,000 to $499,000 and a midpoint of $429,500. Because only two of eight transactions carry disclosed consideration, those price figures represent a narrow slice of activity rather than a complete market picture; Massachusetts deed records do not require price disclosure. The six remaining transfers each list no consideration amount, which is standard in deed data and carries no implication about sale value. Eight recorded deeds constitutes modest volume for a small rural community. No prior-period data are available in this dataset for comparison.

TOP SALES The highest disclosed price in the period was $499,000 for 565 Reeds Bridge Road, recorded June 25. The buyer was Caswell Investment Trust. The sellers -- Santos Mecaye A. and Heath Brian L. -- were each listed as personal representative, a designation in deed records that indicates the property was conveyed from an estate.

The second disclosed sale was a $360,000 acquisition by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, also recorded June 25. The seller was the Rice Investment Trust, with Janet R. Rice listed as trustee. No street address appears in the recorded deed for this parcel. The Department of Conservation and Recreation is the state agency charged with acquiring land for public conservation purposes; the deed does not specify the intended use of this particular parcel.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The eight recorded transfers were distributed across seven distinct street locations with no two sales sharing a road. Streets represented in the period include Pleasant Street, Reeds Bridge Road, East Guinea Road, Baptist Hill Road, Graves Road, Shelburne Falls Road, and Roaring Brook Road, plus one parcel with no street address in the deed record. Among the two transactions with disclosed prices, both fell within the $360,000-to-$499,000 range. The six transfers without disclosed prices prevent any price-tier analysis for those properties.

MARKET NOTES Three of the eight recorded deeds listed a bank or mortgage servicer as the selling party. Florence Bank sold 18 Pleasant Street to Thomas A. and Cheryl L. Pascucci, recorded June 30. Greenfield Cooperative Bank sold 3440 Shelburne Falls Road to Julie Petty and R. David Reading, recorded June 17. NewRez LLC, along with Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., sold 500 Graves Road to William J. O'Neil and Jane S. Haddad, also recorded June 17. Deed records do not explain the circumstances under which a lender held title to these properties prior to sale.

Two additional entries in the deed data -- 80 Baptist Hill Road, recorded June 18, with seller Michael Edward French; and 901 Roaring Brook Road, recorded June 16, with sellers Brandon L. and Alexis Ann Hawks -- carry neither disclosed prices nor buyer names in the available records.

The period also includes two transfers linked to the same seller recorded on the same date. A parcel sold to the state's Department of Conservation and Recreation for $360,000 on June 25 lists the Rice Investment Trust, with Janet R. Rice as trustee, as seller. A second deed recorded that same day shows Janet R. Rice as seller of 697 East Guinea Road; that deed carries no disclosed price and no buyer name in the available data.
