Peru Property Prices Span $100,000 Range in June-July, Median Lands at $84,500

PERU -- Seven property deeds were recorded in Peru between mid-June and mid-July 2026, with financial institutions named as parties in five of the seven transactions and disclosed consideration amounts ranging from $65,097 to $164,832.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Seven deeds were filed at the Middle Berkshire Registry of Deeds for Peru properties from June 12 through July 11, 2026. Four of the seven carried a disclosed consideration amount; the remaining three listed no price, which is not uncommon in deed records and does not in itself indicate a conventional arms-length market sale occurred.

Among the four priced transactions, consideration ranged from a low of $65,097 at 15 Marlow Drive to a high of $164,832 at 16 Garnet Mountain Lane. The median consideration, calculated from the four disclosed prices — $65,097, $70,000, $99,000, and $164,832 — was $84,500.

Seven recorded deeds over a roughly four-week window is a modest count. Peru is a small, rural Berkshire County hill town, and deed activity in any given month typically reflects a limited pool of active properties. No countywide comparison data was available for this period, and the dataset alone is too narrow for market-trend conclusions.

TOP SALES

The highest disclosed consideration in the period was $164,832, recorded July 10 at 16 Garnet Mountain Lane. Heather L. Belanger was listed as grantor; EMM Loans LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. were listed as grantees.

The next-highest priced transfer, at $99,000, was 12 Ash Lane, recorded July 9. Christina M. and Raymond A. Siemer were sellers; Greylock Federal Credit Union was the buyer.

On July 6, 51 Middlefield Road recorded a $70,000 consideration, with Arnold Sour and Doris M. Sour as grantors and Greylock Federal Credit Union as grantee.

The period's lowest disclosed transfer was 15 Marlow Drive, recorded June 17 at $65,097. Eric M. and Carrie A. Gagne were listed as sellers; Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and AmeriSave Mortgage Corp. were listed as buyers.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No two transfers this period involve the same street, so no geographic clustering is apparent within Peru's road network. By disclosed price tier: one property — 16 Garnet Mountain Lane at $164,832 — recorded above $100,000. Three properties recorded below $100,000: 12 Ash Lane ($99,000), 51 Middlefield Road ($70,000), and 15 Marlow Drive ($65,097); two of those three fell below $75,000. Three transfers — 78 East Main Road (July 8), 7 Haskell Road (June 24), and 21 Kreutzer Road (June 12) — listed no consideration amount and are dispersed across separate streets with no common geographic thread in the available data.

MARKET NOTES

The most consistent pattern visible in this period's deed data is the involvement of financial institutions as named parties. Lenders or mortgage servicers appeared as buyer or seller in five of the seven recorded transfers.

Greylock Federal Credit Union was listed as grantee in two transactions — 12 Ash Lane and 51 Middlefield Road — and as grantor in a third, 21 Kreutzer Road, where Samantha and Devin Vaccaro were named buyers. The Kreutzer Road deed references a mortgage recorded in Book 7206, Page 235.

Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. appeared as a co-grantee in two additional transactions: at 16 Garnet Mountain Lane alongside EMM Loans LLC, and at 15 Marlow Drive alongside AmeriSave Mortgage Corp.

The two transfers with individual sellers but no disclosed price — 78 East Main Road (Autumn Fetridge, grantor) and 7 Haskell Road (Jessica and Justin Russell, grantors) — listed no named grantee in the available deed data. No square-footage, bedroom count, or property-classification information was available from the records reviewed; the residential mix of the seven transfers cannot be determined from this dataset.
