All Five Harvard Deeds Recorded in August Await Listed Sale Prices

HARVARD -- Five property transfers were recorded at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds for Harvard between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19, but none carried a sale price as of this report, a common lag in registry data that typically resolves within about a week of recording.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Five deeds were recorded during the period, all dated Aug. 21. No consideration amount was listed for any of the five, so a price range and median cannot be calculated for this reporting period. Based on the raw count alone, five recorded transfers over a roughly four-week span is a modest but not unusual volume for Harvard; the data available does not support a comparison to prior months.

TOP SALES

Because none of the five deeds carried a listed sale price, transactions cannot be ranked by value this period. All five are listed below in the order recorded, each dated Aug. 21

25 Hillcrest Drive was transferred from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Guaranteed Rate Affinity LLC to Rocket Mortgage LLC. Price not yet available.

2 Willow Road was transferred from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and MLD Mortgage Inc. No grantee was listed in the available data. Price not yet available.

41 Shaker Road was transferred from David N. Freihofer and Nancy A. Freihofer. No grantee was listed in the available data. Price not yet available.

77 Grant Road was transferred from the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency and Grant Rd LLC. No grantee was listed in the available data. Price not yet available.

A fifth deed, recorded with only "Harvard, MA" as the location and no specific street address in the available data, was transferred from Jamie L. Spinelli, trustee, and Joseph A. Spinelli, trustee. No grantee was listed. Price not yet available.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

The five transfers were spread across four named streets, Hillcrest Drive, Willow Road, Shaker Road and Grant Road, plus one deed recorded without a specific street address. No street had more than one recorded transfer this period, so no geographic cluster emerged. With no sale prices yet available for any transaction, sales cannot be grouped by price tier this period.

MARKET NOTES

Four of the five deeds list two parties on the grantor side, either co-owners, trustees or, in two cases, mortgage-related entities. The transfers at 25 Hillcrest Drive and 2 Willow Road each list Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as a grantor alongside a mortgage company, a pattern distinct from a typical owner-to-buyer property sale. The Shaker Road deed lists two grantors sharing the last name Freihofer, and the deed with no listed street address lists two grantors sharing the last name Spinelli, both identified as trustees. These are patterns visible in the grantor and grantee names as recorded; the available data does not indicate the reason for either transfer. The Grant Road deed, moving from the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency to Grant Rd LLC, is the only transaction in this period's data involving a public agency as grantor. No sale prices were available for any of the five deeds at the time of this report, which limits further analysis of price-per-square-foot or property-type patterns for the period.
