Dudley Sale Prices Span $109,000 to $155,000 in Rare July Disclosures

DUDLEY -- Sixteen properties changed hands in Dudley during the four-week period ending Aug. 15, but Worcester County Registry of Deeds records disclosed a sale price for only two of them, ranging from $109,000 to $155,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW Registry records show 16 property transfers recorded in Dudley between July 17 and Aug. 15. Of those, only two listed a disclosed consideration amount: $109,000 and $155,000, producing a median of $132,000 across the two price-disclosed sales. The other 14 transactions carried no listed sale price, which is common for certain categories of deed filings, including mortgage-related transfers, trust and estate conveyances, and municipal transactions. Based on the raw count alone, 16 recorded transfers in a single four-week span is a moderately high volume of deed activity for a town of Dudley's size, though the scarcity of disclosed prices, just 2 of 16, limits how much can be concluded about overall market values this period.

TOP SALES With only two disclosed prices in the dataset, these two transactions represent the full extent of price-verifiable sales for the period.

20 Piasta Road sold for $155,000 on July 21, the highest disclosed price of the period. Bertram O. Davis Jr. and Wendy J. Davis were listed as sellers; Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and BankESB were listed as buyers.

A Dudley property, with no street address specified in the record, sold for $109,000 on July 20. Edith Martocci and Edith P. Martocci were listed as sellers; Rocket Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. were listed as buyers.

The remaining 14 transactions recorded during the period, at addresses including Sawmill Road, Carroll Drive, Michael Lane, Brandon Road, Dudley Hill Road, Partridge Hill Road, West Main Street, Green Street, Fairfield Drive, Ramshorn Road, Country Club Boulevard, Country Club Lane and George Street, did not include a disclosed sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Three of the 16 transactions were tied to a Country Club Boulevard/Lane address at building number 20: 20 Country Club Boulevard, 20 Country Club Boulevard Unit CCB2001, and 20 Country Club Lane Unit 20. The Unit CCB2001 record names Country Club Acres Condominium as a party, indicating a condominium complex at that location. Edith Martocci was listed as a seller in two separate transactions during the period, one at a Dudley address without a specified street and one at 20 Country Club Lane Unit 20. No other street name appeared more than once in the dataset.

MARKET NOTES Ten of the 16 recorded transactions listed a bank, credit union, mortgage servicer or Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (MERS) as a seller or buyer, including records naming Webster First Federal Credit Union, Country Bank for Savings, Freedom Mortgage Corp., KeyBank USA, JPMorgan Chase Bank and Rocket Mortgage LLC. That pattern indicates a substantial share of the period's recorded deeds were mortgage-related assignments or transfers rather than traditional owner-to-buyer sales with a negotiated price. The town of Dudley appeared as a seller in two records: a Carroll Drive property transferred to Verizon New England Inc., and a West Main Street property transferred by the Dudley Town Treasurer to the Martin L. Nieski Living Trust. Property types in the dataset included single-family addresses alongside at least three condominium units, based on unit-numbered listings at Country Club Boulevard/Lane and George Street. Beds, baths and square footage are not available from Worcester County deed records and are not reported here.
