Gardner deed prices span $1,449 to $398,860 amid scarce disclosure

GARDNER -- Ten property deeds were recorded in Gardner between June 26 and July 25, but sale prices were disclosed in only two of them, ranging from $1,449 to $398,860, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds data.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten deeds were recorded in Gardner during the period. Of those, only two carried a disclosed consideration amount, ranging from $1,449 to $398,860, with a median of $200,154 based on those two figures. The remaining eight transactions listed no sale price, which is common for certain deed types such as foreclosure, trust or lender-to-lender transfers. Because 80 percent of the period's deeds lack pricing data, the raw count of 10 recorded transactions cannot be characterized as active or quiet based on price trends alone.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction was 171 Sherman St., which sold for $398,860. The sellers were listed as Miriam Machado Gonzalez and Amitael Genao Gonzalez, and the buyers were listed as CMG Mortgage Inc. and CMG Home Loans. The only other deed with a disclosed price was 392 Mill St., which transferred for $1,449 from sellers Lisa Griffin and Lisa A. Griffin to the Center for Digestive Wellness PC. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available for either property. The remaining eight recorded deeds -- at 19 Westford St., 76 Glenwood St., 377 Park St., 272 Pearl St. Unit 8, an unaddressed Gardner parcel, 0 Coburn Ave., 26 Edgell St. and 335 Pearl St. -- did not disclose a sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Pearl Street saw two recorded transfers during the period: 272 Pearl St. Unit 8 and 335 Pearl St., neither with a disclosed price. All other addresses were on separate streets, with no other street-level clustering evident in the data. Because only two of the 10 deeds carried a price, sales cannot be meaningfully grouped into price tiers this period.

MARKET NOTES Five of the 10 recorded deeds named a mortgage or lending entity -- CMG Mortgage Inc./CMG Home Loans, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., Freedom Mortgage Corp., Cornerstone Bank and Rocket Mortgage LLC -- as either grantor or grantee, more than any other category of transaction in the period. The 272 Pearl St. Unit 8 deed involved a condominium trust, Ridgewood Condominium Trust, transferring to an individual trustee, Bechara Frin. Dorothy L. Drisdelle appeared as buyer in two separate deeds during the period, at an unaddressed Gardner parcel (from sellers Donna Giaqunito and Doris Johnson) and at 335 Pearl St. (from seller Alice M. Savalier). The dataset includes one condominium unit (272 Pearl St. Unit 8) among otherwise unspecified property types; no square-footage or price-per-square-foot comparisons are possible without square-footage data.
