Auburn deed prices range from $6,952 to $116,095 in past month

AUBURN -- The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 10 property transfers in Auburn between June 26 and July 25, but only four listed a sale price, ranging from $6,952 to $116,095.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten deeds were recorded in Auburn during the period. Of those, four disclosed a consideration amount, with a price range of $6,952 to $116,095 and a median sale price of $20,954 among the disclosed transactions. The remaining six records listed no sale price, which is common for deed filings and does not necessarily indicate the property changed hands for no value. Based on the raw count alone, 10 recorded transfers is a modest volume for the town over a 30-day span, and the small number of disclosed prices limits what can be said about overall market pricing this period.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction was 13 Carroll St., which sold for $116,095 on June 29. The seller was listed as Gloria M. Whorton (also recorded as Gloria Whorton), and the buyers were Synergy One Lending Inc. and Dart Collateral Manager LLC. An Auburn property recorded without a specific street address sold for $25,000 on June 26; the seller was Brian Perez, and the buyer was Bay State Savings Bank. At 200 Rochdale St., the property sold for $16,909 on June 26; sellers were Nicole D. Lane and Jeffrey M. Lane, and the buyer was Urban Development. The lowest of the four disclosed sales was 3 Dartmouth Dr., which sold for $6,952 on June 26; sellers were Jennifer Plunkett and Jennifer L. Plunkett, and the buyer was Velocity Investments LLC.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No two transfers in this period shared the same street name, so the sales are broken out by price tier among the four with disclosed prices. Under $20,000: 3 Dartmouth Dr. ($6,952) and 200 Rochdale St. ($16,909). $20,000 to $50,000: the Auburn property with no listed street address ($25,000). Over $100,000: 13 Carroll St. ($116,095). The six transfers with no disclosed price were spread across Preston Avenue, Prospect Street, Meadowbrook Road, Leicester Street, Southbridge Street and Pakachoag Street, with no street-level clustering evident in the data.

MARKET NOTES No square footage, bedroom or bathroom data was available for any of the 10 transfers, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made. A pattern is visible in how the records are structured: the four transfers with a disclosed sale price also listed a named buyer (Synergy One Lending Inc./Dart Collateral Manager LLC, Bay State Savings Bank, Urban Development and Velocity Investments LLC), while the six transfers without a disclosed price listed only a seller in the available data, with no buyer named. Several sellers and buyers across the period were businesses or lending entities rather than individuals, including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Envoy Mortgage Ltd. (35 Preston Ave.), Blaise Prime Investments LLC (166 Leicester St.) and Southbridge LLC (325 Southbridge St.), alongside the institutional buyers named in the top sales above. Two of the four disclosed sales -- 200 Rochdale St. and 3 Dartmouth Dr. -- involved joint sellers sharing a last name, consistent with jointly owned property being transferred together.
