Dudley's Lone Priced Sale Sets Early Benchmark as Registry Data Lags

DUDLEY -- Twelve property deeds were recorded in Dudley between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19, but a sale price has posted for only one of them so far: a $239,717 transaction recorded Aug. 25.

MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve deeds were recorded in Dudley during the period, but pricing data has reached the registry for just one so far, a $239,717 sale recorded Aug. 25. That figure currently stands as both the low and high end of the available price range and as the reported median, since it is the only price on file. Sale prices typically appear in registry data within about a week of a deed's recording; with 11 of the 12 transactions from this period still showing no price, these figures are not yet representative of overall sale values for the month. The raw count of 12 recorded deeds points to ordinary activity for the town, though a fuller read on pricing will depend on data still to come.

TOP SALES The only sale with a recorded price so far occurred at a Dudley property that closed Aug. 25 for $239,717. The seller was listed as Kolawole Akindele and Simisola Akindele; the buyer was recorded as Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc and Assurance Financial Group LLC, a pairing typically associated with a mortgage filing rather than a private home sale.

Four other deeds recorded this period do not yet show a sale price. At 69 South Shore Road, Marek Rudnicki and Magdalena Rudnicki were listed as sellers, with Builder Services Group Inc and Bldg Prod as buyer, in a deed recorded Aug. 24; price not yet available. At 108 Southbridge Road, Donald R. Donais and Paul Donais were listed as sellers in a deed recorded Aug. 25; price not yet available. At 22 Carpenter Road, Millbury National Bank and Richard E. Wilson were listed as sellers in a deed recorded Aug. 24; price not yet available. At 27 Noble St., Kolawole Akindele and Simisola Akindele, the same sellers as the period's lone priced sale, were listed as sellers in a deed recorded Aug. 25; price not yet available.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The 12 recorded deeds are spread across 11 different streets, with no street name repeating except for the overlap tied to Kolawole and Simisola Akindele, who are listed as sellers on both the period's one priced transaction and a separate deed at 27 Noble St. Other streets with recorded deeds this period include Southbridge Road, Chestnut Street, Carpenter Road, South Shore Road, Aldea Avenue, West Main Street, Dudley Hill Road, Elizabeth Street, Lynn Lane and Eagle Drive, each with a single transaction. Because pricing data is available for only one of the 12 deeds, sales cannot yet be grouped into meaningful price tiers.

MARKET NOTES Four of the 12 deeds list Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc as a grantor or grantee alongside a mortgage company, including Assurance Financial Group LLC, Luxury Mortgage Corp and Homebridge Financial Services Inc, indicating those records are mortgage-related filings rather than standard sales between individual owners. One deed, at 69 South Shore Road, lists Builder Services Group Inc and Bldg Prod as buyer, the only entry involving a corporate purchaser apart from the mortgage-related filings. Several other deeds list two people sharing a last name as seller, including Donais, Siddle, Trombino, Thibeault and Gorski, consistent with jointly held property changing hands; the deed data does not indicate whether these were sales, family transfers or other types of conveyance. No bedroom, bathroom or square footage data was available for any property recorded this period.
