Charlton's lone priced sale this period closes at $515,000

CHARLTON -- The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded seven property transfers in Charlton between Aug. 28 and Sept. 26, but sale prices had posted for only one of them by the time this report was compiled. That single recorded sale, for $515,000, sets the only price benchmark available for the period.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Seven sales were recorded in Charlton during the period, all dated Aug. 28. Only one carries a sale price so far: $515,000, which stands as both the low and high end of the currently available range and the median. The remaining six transactions have not yet had consideration amounts posted to the registry, which is typical; sale prices generally appear within about a week of recording. Based on the raw count of seven transfers, the period shows a normal volume of activity for the town, though a fuller read on pricing will require the outstanding data to post.

TOP SALES

The only sale with a recorded price this period was a Charlton property that sold for $515,000. The deed lists the seller as Helen V. Lozoraitis, individually and as trustee, and the buyers as Mark P. Rice and Lisa A. Bailey, both as trustees. No street address was included with this record.

The remaining six transactions recorded during the period do not yet have a price attached in registry data: 12 McKinstry Dr. Ext. (seller: Christian Family Endowment Trust and Christopher G. Christian, trustee); 12 McKinstry Dr. (sellers: Matthew and Wendy Meldrum); 59 Cranberry Meadow Shore Rd. (seller: Digital Federal Credit Union, with Thomas Edward Martocci also named on the deed); 39 Hiland Rd. (seller: Liseberth Princivil); 36 Old Worcester Rd. (seller: Tyler Symes); and 70 Beach Rd. (sellers: Phil Millette and Charlton Town Conservation). Buyers were not listed in the available data for these six records.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

McKinstry Drive saw two transfers in the same recording batch, one at the numbered address and one at its "Ext" extension, both recorded Aug. 28. The remaining five sales were spread across five different streets: Cranberry Meadow Shore Road, Hiland Road, Old Worcester Road, Beach Road and the unspecified Charlton parcel that sold for $515,000. By price tier, only one transaction can currently be placed: the $515,000 sale falls in the $500,000-to-$1 million range. The other six sales cannot yet be sorted by tier because their prices have not posted.

MARKET NOTES

Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures are not available from deed records and are omitted here. Two of the seven transactions involved trustees rather than individual owners as parties: the $515,000 sale conveyed from Helen V. Lozoraitis to trustees Mark P. Rice and Lisa A. Bailey, and the McKinstry Drive Ext. transfer listed the Christian Family Endowment Trust and a trustee as seller. One deed, at 59 Cranberry Meadow Shore Road, lists Digital Federal Credit Union as a seller alongside an individual named on the record. Another, at 70 Beach Road, lists Charlton Town Conservation alongside an individual seller. The data does not indicate property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) for any of the seven transactions.
