Harvard Deed Filings Show Sale Prices Still Pending Across All September Transactions

HARVARD -- Ten property deeds were recorded for Harvard addresses at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3, but none of the sale prices had posted to the registry as of this report.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Ten transactions were recorded in the four-week period. No sale price is yet available for any of them, so a price range and median cannot be calculated this month. Based on the raw count alone, ten recorded deeds represent a steady level of property turnover for a town of Harvard's size, though no prior-month figures are available here for comparison. Readers should expect prices for the later-recorded deeds, such as those from Sept. 14, to appear in registry records within about a week; prices for the Sept. 4 transactions have not posted despite more time having passed, which reflects the registry's data flow rather than any withholding by the parties involved.

TOP SALES

Because no sale prices are available for this period, transactions cannot be ranked by price. The following are the month's most notable filings based on the information the registry has made public so far. A deed for 77 Grant Rd. was recorded Sept. 8, with Grant Rd LLC as seller and Florence Bank as buyer; it is the only transaction in this dataset with a named buyer. A deed for 20 Shaker Rd. was recorded Sept. 4, listing Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Bank of America NA as sellers. A deed for 68 Barnum Rd. was recorded Sept. 9, listing Salem Five Cents Savings Bank and NLS LLC as sellers. A deed for 236 Bolton Rd. was recorded Sept. 10, with R D Kanniard Homes Inc. as seller. A deed for 58 Brown Rd. was recorded Sept. 4, with the Estate of John K. Boynton as seller.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Two deeds recorded the same day, Sept. 14, involve Depot Road: one for 31 Depot Rd. and one for 31 Still River Depot Rd., both listing Jamie L. Spinelli and Joseph A. Spinelli, as trustees, as seller. No buyer is listed in the available data for either filing. The remaining properties, 37 Old Littleton Rd., 77 Pinnacle Rd., 236 Bolton Rd., 68 Barnum Rd., 77 Grant Rd., 20 Shaker Rd. and 58 Brown Rd., are each on separate streets with no other September filings in this dataset.

MARKET NOTES

Beds, baths and square footage are not available in deed records, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made this month. The filings show a mix of transaction types beyond typical owner-to-owner sales. One deed on Old Littleton Road shows Fernando and Michelle D. Catalina as sellers, with Fernando Catalina and Michelle D. Catalina, as trustees, named as buyers, a trust transfer within the same family. A second deed for the same address lists the Catalina trustees as seller with no buyer recorded. The Depot Road and Still River Depot Road deeds similarly list the Spinelli family trustees as seller on both filings. Separately, three deeds list a bank or mortgage-related entity as a party: Salem Five Cents Savings Bank on Barnum Road, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Bank of America NA on Shaker Road, and Florence Bank as buyer on Grant Road. One deed, for Brown Road, lists an estate as seller. None of these patterns indicate the reason for the transfer; they are noted here only as they appear in the recorded data.
