Barre's Two Priced Sales Span $30,000 To $141,300 Range This Period

BARRE -- Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 10 property transfers in Barre between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3, but only two carried a sale price by the time records were compiled, leaving most of the period's market activity still to be reflected in the data.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Ten deeds were recorded in Barre during the period, but only two included a sale price: $30,000 and $141,300, producing a range of $30,000 to $141,300 and a midpoint of $85,650. Because that figure rests on just two of the 10 recorded sales, it should not be read as representative of the full month's market. Sale prices for the remaining eight transactions were not yet available at the time of this report, which is typical: prices generally appear in registry data within about a week of recording. Based on the raw count of 10 deeds, September was a active recording period in Barre by volume, though the price picture remains incomplete.

TOP SALES

With only two recorded prices available, both appear here in order of value.

145 Old Coldbrook Rd. sold for $141,300 on Sept. 8. The seller was listed as Daryl Van Taylor and the buyers as Drew Mortgage Associates Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record.

A Barre property (street address not specified in the deed record) sold for $30,000 on Sept. 15. The sellers were listed as Robert Dambra and Angela M. Merulla, and the buyer was Cornerstone Bank. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available.

The remaining eight transactions recorded during the period, at 24 North Brookfield Rd., 35 Nichols Rd., 1026 Old Dana Rd., 340 Fruitland Rd., 744 Wauwinet Rd., 251 West St., 839 South St. and 6 Farrington Rd., had price not yet available as of this report.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

The 10 recorded deeds were spread across nine different streets, with no two transactions sharing a street name, so no street-level cluster emerged this period. By price tier, both transactions with recorded prices, $30,000 and $141,300, fall under the $500,000 mark; no recorded sale in this dataset exceeded that threshold. The eight transactions without a recorded price could not be sorted into a tier.

MARKET NOTES

Eight of the 10 deeds recorded in Barre during this period listed no buyer at all, only a seller or sellers, which is consistent with how deed records sometimes capture mortgage discharges, trust transfers or other non-purchase filings alongside standard sales. Two of those eight sellers were listed jointly with what appear to be trust or family entities: 340 Fruitland Rd., where Angelo G. Salvadore Tr. is listed alongside the Angelo G. Salvadore Fruitland Road Trust, and 251 West St., where Brian J. Cirelli and Kathleen M. Cirelli are listed together. The data does not indicate the reason for either transfer.

Of the two transactions that did include both a buyer and a recorded price, both buyers were financial institutions: Cornerstone Bank for the $30,000 transfer, and Drew Mortgage Associates Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. for the $141,300 transfer at 145 Old Coldbrook Rd. Several other deeds in the period, including those at 35 Nichols Rd. and 744 Wauwinet Rd., also named mortgage-related entities (Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., Freedom Mortgage Corp. and Fidelity Cooperative Bank) as parties, though those records carried no buyer or price. No bed, bath or square footage data was available for any transaction in this dataset, so no price-per-square-foot or property-type comparison can be made this period.
