Cheshire June Deed Data Skewed by Bank Transactions, Sparse on Traditional Sales

CHESHIRE -- Deed recordings in Cheshire for the period ending June 29, 2026, show only six transactions with disclosed consideration amounts, with the remainder involving financial institutions as grantor or grantee — a pattern consistent with mortgage originations, lien releases, and refinancing activity rather than traditional property sales.

  • MARKET OVERVIEW
  • Eighteen deeds were recorded in Cheshire during the period, but only six carried disclosed consideration amounts, ranging from $50,000 to $414,000. Of those six, the median disclosed consideration was $93,500. The majority of entries — 12 of 18 — list either a credit union, commercial bank, or mortgage-servicing entity as buyer or seller, indicating they reflect financing transactions rather than arm's-length property transfers. Readers should treat the disclosed-price figures as a partial and potentially incomplete picture of market activity for the period.
  • TOP SALES
  • The highest disclosed consideration in the dataset was $414,000, recorded June 15 for 268 Devonshire Dr. The grantee in that transaction is Greylock Federal Credit Union; the grantors are Jes W. and Tiffany M. Witto. Because the buyer is a financial institution, this transaction may not represent a conventional open-market sale.

A property at 1031 Sand Mill Rd recorded a $155,000 consideration on June 5; the grantor is Kristine A. Megaro, and the grantee is listed as Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and COM LLC — again, a financial entity, indicating this is likely a mortgage instrument filing rather than a sale to an individual buyer.

At 160 School St, a $100,000 consideration was recorded June 10 with David and Kimberly J. Rousseau as grantors and Adams Community Bank as grantee; a same-day companion deed shows Adams Community Bank conveying the same property back to the Rousseaus, consistent with a refinancing transaction.

The $87,000 consideration at 124 Richmond St, recorded June 9, lists Elizabeth Greene and Elizabeth P. Wilson as grantors and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Rocket Mortgage LLC as grantees — again indicating a mortgage instrument rather than a traditional sale.

At 225 Fisher Hill Rd, a $70,000 consideration was recorded June 10 with Joseph Wrenn as grantor and Adams Community Bank as grantee, with a companion deed the same day conveying the property from Adams Community Bank back to Wrenn — consistent with a refinancing or deed-in-trust arrangement. The lowest disclosed figure in the dataset is $50,000, recorded June 1 for 63 Devonshire Dr., with Casandra M. DeBlois as grantor and Greylock Federal Credit Union as grantee.

  • NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
  • Devonshire Drive accounts for two of the six disclosed-price transactions — 268 Devonshire Dr. at $414,000 and 63 Devonshire Dr. at $50,000 — representing the widest price spread on a single street in this period. Sand Mill Road appears twice in the dataset, with 1031 Sand Mill Rd. carrying a disclosed price of $155,000 and 1020 Sand Mill Rd. showing no disclosed consideration. Fisher Hill Road also appears twice, at 42 Fisher Hill Rd. and 225 Fisher Hill Rd., with only the latter carrying a disclosed amount. The remaining streets — Richmond St., School St., Ingalls Rd., Stafford Hill Rd., Stonehedge Rd., and Windsor Rd. — each appear once.
  • MARKET NOTES
  • Because 12 of the 18 recorded deeds in this period list a financial institution as buyer or seller, the dataset does not support reliable conclusions about residential sale volume, price trends, or property-type mix for Cheshire during this period. No square footage data is available from deed records. Several addresses appear in duplicate or triplicate entries reflecting multiple mortgage book references for the same property, which further limits transaction counting. A clearer picture of the Cheshire market may emerge in subsequent recording periods if more arm's-length transfers are captured.
