These are the five highest-priced home sales reported in Pioneer Valley, Massachusetts for the week ending November 1, 2026, and together they came to $4.17 million. Two of the sales were in Amherst, and four of the five were in Hampshire County, with the fifth in Hampden County. The homes span more than a century of building, from a Victorian near a college town center to a ranch finished this year, with mid-century and contemporary designs in between.

The top sale of the week is a Queen Anne home built in 1900 in Amherst’s Lincoln-Sunset historic district, the oldest of the five homes. A wrap-around porch runs along the front, and the home is two blocks from the town center and three blocks from UMass Amherst.
Pocket doors open onto a double parlor, and one of the two rooms has a working fireplace and a picture window looking out on the porch. The formal dining room has a built-in china cabinet, and the eat-in kitchen has its own pantry along with a laundry room and a powder room. Three bedrooms are on the second floor with a sewing room and two bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a stall shower.

In all, the home has four bedrooms, the most of the five, along with two full baths, a half bath and 2,731 square feet on 0.63 acres.
