Brookfield's Lone Confirmed Sale Price Lands At $474,300 This Period

BROOKFIELD -- Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show eight property transfers in Brookfield between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19, but only one carried a recorded sale price by the time this report was compiled: $474,300. The other seven had not yet posted a consideration amount in county records.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Eight deeds were recorded in Brookfield during the period. Of those, one had a sale price on file, $474,300, which stands as both the low and high end of the confirmed price range and the median. The remaining seven transfers had no price yet in the registry data, which typically appears within about a week of recording, so more of these figures are expected to surface in the coming days. Based on transaction count alone, eight recorded transfers is a typical volume for a four-week Brookfield reporting period, though with pricing available for only one of eight sales, the data does not yet support a read on where values are trending.

TOP SALES

The only transaction with a confirmed price was a $474,300 sale recorded Sept. 4. The registry listing does not include a street address, showing only "Brookfield, MA." The seller was listed as Jacinta Basden, and the buyer was listed as CMG Mortgage Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. No bed, bath or square-footage figures were available in the deed data. The remaining seven transfers, at 9 Green St., 39 Rice Corner Road, 34 W. Main St., 7 Schoolhouse Cross Road, 81 Webber Road, 139 Town Farm Road and 158 Rice Corner Road, had no price recorded yet and cannot be ranked among top sales until that data appears.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Two of the eight transfers were on Rice Corner Road: one at 39 Rice Corner Road, recorded Sept. 4, and one at 158 Rice Corner Road, recorded Aug. 21. No other street had more than one recorded transfer. The remaining transactions were spread across Green Street, West Main Street, Schoolhouse Cross Road, Webber Road and Town Farm Road, one transfer each, plus the one price-bearing transaction listed only under the town name with no street address given. With pricing available for just one of eight sales, a breakdown by price tier is not possible for this period.

MARKET NOTES

Several of the recorded transfers list mortgage-related entities as a grantor or grantee alongside individual names, including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., CMG Mortgage Inc., Nations Lending Corp., Cornerstone Bank and USA Rural Housing Service. That pattern is typical of deed records that capture mortgage financing and discharges alongside property sales. One transfer, at 7 Schoolhouse Cross Road, moved from the Gemme Family Living Trust to Paul R. Gemme as trustee, a pattern consistent with a transfer within the same family. Three other transfers, at 39 Rice Corner Road, 81 Webber Road and 139 Town Farm Road, each listed two sellers sharing a last name, consistent with jointly held property changing hands. No property type, bed, bath or square-footage data was available in this dataset for any of the eight transfers.
