Auburn Sale Prices Span $176,500 to $605,900 in Deeds Recorded So Far

AUBURN -- Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show 12 property transfers in Auburn between Aug. 28 and Sept. 26, but only three carried a recorded sale price by the time of this report, with figures ranging from $176,500 to $605,900.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Twelve deeds were recorded in Auburn over the four-week period. Of those, three included a sale price, ranging from $176,500 to $605,900, with a median of $515,015 among the priced sales. The remaining nine transfers had not yet had a consideration amount posted to the registry as of this report; that is typical, since sale prices generally appear within about a week of a deed's recording date. With three-quarters of the period's transfers still awaiting price data, it is not yet possible to characterize the full month's price trend from the numbers recorded so far.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction recorded was a $605,900 sale in Auburn on Aug. 31, with Mast Futures LLC as seller and Sailesh Kumar as buyer; a specific street address was not listed in the deed data. The second-highest was 25 Vinal St., Unit 29, which sold for $515,015 on Aug. 31; Sailesh Kumar was the seller and Millbury National Bank the buyer. The third was 3 Wallace Ave., Unit B, which sold for $176,500 on Aug. 31, with Kathryn Courteau tied to the seller side and Rocket Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. named as buyers.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Two streets each had two recorded transfers during the period. Vinal Street saw the $515,015 sale at Unit 29 on Aug. 31 alongside a second transfer at 25 Vinal St. the same day, seller Timothy Johnson, with no price yet recorded. Wellman Street had two transfers as well: 20 Wellman St. on Aug. 31, moving from U.S. Bank Trust N.A., as trustee for Dwelling Series IV Trust, to U.S. Bank Trust N.A., as trustee for RCAF Acquisition Trust, and 28 Wellman St., also Aug. 31, with Michael J. McFadden and Southbridge Credit Union as sellers, both without recorded prices. The remaining transfers, at 13 Marilyn Dr., 24 Meadowbrook Rd., 110 Bryn Mawr Ave., 26 Warren Rd., 3 Magna Vista Dr. and 5 Woodside Ter., were each the only recorded transfer on their respective streets during the period. By price tier, the three sales with recorded figures split across a wide range: one under $500,000 ($176,500), one just above ($515,015) and one over $600,000 ($605,900).

MARKET NOTES

Nine of the 12 transfers listed a bank, credit union, mortgage company or federally related entity, such as Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., Rocket Mortgage LLC, Digital Federal Credit Union, Southbridge Credit Union, Amerisave Mortgage Corp., Quorum Federal Credit Union or U.S. Bank Trust N.A., as a grantor or grantee, a pattern consistent with foreclosure-related or lender-involved deed activity rather than typical owner-to-owner sales. One transfer, at 110 Bryn Mawr Ave., moved from Thomas M. Dee and Graceann I. Dee to Graceann I. Dee alone, an intrafamily transfer. Sailesh Kumar appears on both sides of the market during the period, as buyer in the $605,900 transaction and as seller of 25 Vinal St., Unit 29, for $515,015, both recorded Aug. 31. No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage data was available from the deed records for any of the 12 transfers, and property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) was not specified in the data provided.
