Disclosed Clinton Home Sale Prices Span $41,000 To $130,000 In August

CLINTON -- Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show 11 property transfers in Clinton between Aug. 7 and Sept. 5, but only two of those transactions listed a sale price, limiting what can be said about the town's overall market during the period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eleven deeds were recorded in Clinton during the period. Of those, two disclosed a consideration amount: $41,000 and $130,000, for a range of $41,000 to $130,000 and a midpoint of $85,500. The other nine transfers, 82 percent of the total, listed no sale price, which is common for deed records involving bank, trust or estate parties. Because disclosed pricing covers fewer than a third of the transactions, the recorded numbers describe those two sales specifically and are not a reliable gauge of the broader Clinton market this period. The raw count of 11 recorded transfers, on its own, does not indicate whether activity was elevated or reduced without a prior-period comparison, which was not available in this dataset.

TOP SALES The two disclosed sales, in order: A property in Clinton sold for $130,000 on Aug. 11. The sellers were Mellissa J. Rearick and Nathan D. Rearick, and the buyer was St Marys Credit Union. 8 Wittig Ct. sold for $41,000 on Aug. 7. The sellers were Alfred B. Massicotte and Lamphueng Massicotte, and the buyer was Clinton Savings Bank. The remaining nine transactions, at 101 Beacon St., 127 Main St., 200 Greeley St., 502 Ridgefield Cir. Unit A, 216 Walnut St., 27 Goss St., 24 Rigby St., 18 Birch St. and 146 Main St. Unit 1A, did not disclose a sale price and cannot be ranked among the top sales by dollar amount.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Main Street accounted for two of the 11 recorded transfers, at 127 Main St. and 146 Main St. Unit 1A; no other street had more than one recorded transfer in this dataset. The remaining nine addresses, Beacon Street, Greeley Street, Ridgefield Circle, Walnut Street, Wittig Court, Goss Street, Rigby Street and Birch Street, each recorded a single transfer. By price tier, one disclosed sale fell under $50,000 (8 Wittig Ct., $41,000), one fell between $100,000 and $150,000 ($130,000), and nine of the 11 sales, or 82 percent, had no disclosed price and cannot be sorted into a tier.

MARKET NOTES Beds, baths and square footage are not available from deed records for any of the 11 transactions. Two of the 11 addresses were recorded as condominium units, 502 Ridgefield Cir. Unit A and 146 Main St. Unit 1A; deed records do not specify property type for the remaining nine. A notable share of the period's transfers involved banks, credit unions or mortgage servicers as a buyer or seller: St Marys Credit Union, Clinton Savings Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Freedom Mortgage Corp., Digital Federal Credit Union, U S Bank Trust Co., Wilmington Savings Fund Society and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. all appear as parties across seven of the 11 deeds. Deed records do not specify whether these were foreclosure-related, loan-assignment or other lender transactions, and no motivation is stated. One transfer, at 146 Main St. Unit 1A, moved from Kathleen A. Lamb, as trustee, to A Clinton Realty Trust, a trust-to-trust transfer; deed records do not indicate the reason for the change.
