Brookfield Home Prices Range From $345,000 To $465,000 In Limited Data

BROOKFIELD -- Twelve property transfers were recorded in Brookfield between June 26 and July 25, but sale prices have been entered into the registry for only two of them so far, ranging from $345,000 to $465,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve deeds were recorded in Brookfield during the period. Of those, two carry recorded sale prices: $345,000 and $465,000, producing a median of $405,000 between the pair. Two more transfers were recorded for nominal consideration, token amounts typically used for non-market transfers, and are not counted toward price figures. The remaining eight transfers have no sale price yet in the registry, which is common in the days after recording. Judged purely on transaction count, a dozen recorded transfers in one month points to active volume in Brookfield, but with price data available for only two of twelve transfers, the overall pace and direction of the sales market cannot yet be characterized from this data.

TOP SALES Only two recorded transfers carry a sale price this period. A property in Brookfield, with no street address specified in the available deed record, sold for $465,000 on July 2. The seller was listed as Kaitlyn Bonneau and Joshua Eduardo Solares; the buyer was Southbridge Credit Union. At 20 Brunnell Ave, a property sold for $345,000 on June 30. The seller was listed as Gretchen Lussier and Jeffery Lussier; the buyer was Country Bank for Savings. The remaining 10 recorded transfers, including three on Mockingbird Lane/La and two on Rice Corner Road, do not yet have sale prices in the registry and cannot be ranked among top sales.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Mockingbird Lane/La: three transfers were recorded at 4 Mockingbird La, 4 Mockingbird Ln and 8 Mockingbird Ln, two dated July 2 and one June 26; none carries a recorded price yet. Rice Corner Road: two transfers were recorded at 144 and 149 Rice Corner Rd on June 30; the 149 Rice Corner Rd transfer was for nominal consideration and is not a market sale. Single-street transfers were also recorded this period at 14 Maple St, 12 Lakeside Ave, 17 Lincoln St, 91 Webber Rd and 15 Main St, plus one Brookfield transfer with no street address given; none of these carries a recorded price except the $465,000 transaction noted above. By price tier, both recorded sales fall under $500,000, with no sales yet recorded above that threshold.

MARKET NOTES Two sets of sellers in this period share a surname: Leahy at 14 Maple St and Mosher at 12 Lakeside Ave. Neither transfer lists a buyer name in the available data, and no motivation for either transfer can be determined from the deed record. The 149 Rice Corner Rd transfer moved from a trust, Gwendolyn M. Broz Living Trust, to Gwendolyn M. Broz individually, for nominal consideration, consistent with a trust-to-individual transfer based on the names recorded. Cornerstone Bank appears as a party in two separate transfers this period, at 91 Webber Rd and 15 Main St. The sellers listed for the $465,000 Brookfield sale, Kaitlyn Bonneau and Joshua Eduardo Solares, also appear as sellers of record for 4 Mockingbird Ln in a separate transfer dated the same day, though that address does not yet carry a recorded price. Bed, bath and square footage figures are not available from deed records for any property this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made. Property types, such as single-family, condominium or multi-family, are not specified in the deed data and cannot be inferred from street addresses or unit designations.
