Harvard Deed Filings Show No Disclosed Sale Prices in August Recordings

HARVARD -- Eight properties changed hands in Harvard between July 31 and Aug. 29, according to deeds recorded at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds, but none of the filings disclosed a sale price, leaving the month's dollar volume unknown.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded eight deed transfers in Harvard during the period, all filed without a stated consideration amount. Because no sale price was disclosed for any of the eight transactions, a price range and median sale price could not be calculated for this period. Based on raw transaction count alone, eight recorded deeds is a measurable level of activity for the five-week span, though without price data or a prior-period baseline, the level of market activity cannot be further characterized.

TOP SALES No sale prices were disclosed for any of the eight properties, so transactions cannot be ranked by price as in a typical month. The two transfers involving an institutional buyer were the most distinctive in the data: an unaddressed Harvard parcel transferred from Devens Village Green LLC and Nau Partners LLC to the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency, and 14 Bradley Circle transferred from Manduru Abjal and Brian D. Breeden to the same buyer, Massachusetts Development Finance Agency; both were recorded Aug. 5. The remaining six deeds list a seller but no buyer of record in the available data: 84 Slough Road (sellers Elizabeth G. Kendall and Steven A. Kendall, recorded Aug. 5); 26 Madigan Lane (sellers Steve Nigzus and George Triantaris, recorded Aug. 3); 156 Depot Road (sellers Ahmad Samer Homsi and Maria Del Carmen Homsi, both listed as trustees, recorded Aug. 3); 41 Shaker Road (seller Kevin Conley, recorded July 31); 4 Simon Atherton Row (sellers Guang Ying Li and Blythe L. Jamba, recorded July 31); and 68 Barnum Road (sellers NLS LLC and N B Kenney Co Inc, recorded July 31). Price not disclosed for all eight transactions.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The eight transfers were spread across seven named streets: Bradley Circle, Slough Road, Madigan Lane, Depot Road, Shaker Road, Simon Atherton Row and Barnum Road, plus one parcel recorded without a specific street address. No street accounted for more than one sale during the period, so no street-level clustering emerged in this dataset. Because sale prices were not disclosed for any transaction, sales cannot be grouped into price tiers this month.

MARKET NOTES Sale prices were absent from all eight deed filings. That is a routine feature of registry data and does not by itself indicate anything about the nature of the transactions. Two of the eight transfers, the unaddressed Harvard parcel and 14 Bradley Circle, share the same buyer, the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency, and were recorded the same day, Aug. 5; the first also lists Devens Village Green LLC among the sellers, tying that transaction to the Devens area. One filing, for 156 Depot Road, lists both sellers with a "Tr" designation (Ahmad Samer Homsi and Maria Del Carmen Homsi), consistent with a trust-related transfer; the deed data does not identify a buyer or the reason for the transfer. Buyer information was not present in the registry data for six of the eight transactions. Property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) and square footage were not available in the deed data for any of the eight transfers, so no per-square-foot or property-type comparisons can be made this period.
