Gardner's Lone Recorded Sale Price This Month Sits at $236,870

GARDNER -- Ten properties changed hands in Gardner between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, but registry data shows a recorded sale price for just one of them so far: a $236,870 sale on Coleman Street. The other nine transactions are still awaiting price data, which typically posts to the registry within about a week of recording.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Gardner recorded 10 property transfers during the period. The one sale with a posted price, 65 Coleman St. at $236,870, currently sets both the low and high end of the range and the median, since it is the only figure available. Nine of the 10 transactions, representing the large majority of the period's activity, have no price yet in the registry. Based on raw transaction count, 10 sales in a one-month span is a typical volume for Gardner, but with price data available for only one in 10 sales, it is not yet possible to say whether prices this period ran higher, lower, or in line with recent months.

TOP SALES

65 Coleman St., $236,870, sold Sept. 11. Sellers were listed as Lilian E. Vasquez and Gabriel Vasquez; buyers were listed as Rocket Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. Bed, bath and square footage figures are not available from deed records. This is the only transaction among the 10 recorded this period with a sale price currently in the registry.

The remaining nine properties sold during the period, price not yet available for each, were: a Gardner property with no street address recorded in the data (sold Sept. 16, seller listed as Gardner City Treasurer and Cari P. Ahlquist); 55 Kendall Pond Rd. E (sold Sept. 16, seller Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Residential Mortgage Services Inc.); 57 Fifth St. (sold Sept. 14, seller Nicholas M. Pierce); 112 Greenwood Pl. (sold Sept. 14, sellers Thomas D. Pare, trustee, and Louise M. Pare, trustee); 111 Conant St. (sold Sept. 11, seller David E. Scruggs Jr. and Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency); 220 Peabody St. (sold Sept. 11, sellers Jane M. Tarr and Donald P. Tarr); 27 Cedar St. (sold Sept. 11, seller Member First Mortgage LLC and Workers Federal Credit Union); 262 Chestnut St. (sold Sept. 11, seller Member First Mortgage LLC and Workers Federal Credit Union); and 43 Watkins St. (sold Sept. 11, seller Kenia Patricia Soares Cintra Brandao).

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

The 10 transfers were spread across nine different streets plus one property with no street address recorded, and no single street had more than one sale during the period. That indicates the month's activity was distributed across Gardner rather than concentrated in one neighborhood. Because only one sale has a recorded price, a price-tier breakdown by neighborhood is not yet possible with this data.

MARKET NOTES

Several of the period's transfers listed mortgage- or lending-related entities as the grantor. The sale at 55 Kendall Pond Rd. E named Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Residential Mortgage Services Inc. as seller, and both 27 Cedar St. and 262 Chestnut St. named Member First Mortgage LLC and Workers Federal Credit Union as seller. One transfer, at 112 Greenwood Pl., involved two individuals listed as trustees, Thomas D. Pare and Louise M. Pare. One transfer, the property with no street address in the data, listed the Gardner City Treasurer as a party to the deed. Deed records in this data set do not specify property type, so no single-family, condominium or multi-family breakdown is available for this period, and no square-footage figures were provided to assess price per square foot.
