Harvard's only disclosed July sale closes at $921,500 amid mostly undisclosed deeds

HARVARD -- Ten property transfers were recorded in Harvard between July 24 and August 22, 2026, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds filings, but only one included a disclosed sale price. That transaction closed at $921,500 on July 31.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten sales were recorded during the period. Of those, one deed disclosed a sale price: $921,500, which sets both the low and high end of the known price range and stands as the period's median by default. The other nine transfers, five of them involving bank entities or trusts as grantor, were recorded without consideration amounts, which is common for certain deed types and does not necessarily reflect the property's market value. Based on raw count alone, ten recorded transfers over four weeks represents measurable transaction activity in Harvard, though with price data available for only one in ten sales, the underlying dollar volume for the period cannot be determined from this dataset.

TOP SALES The only transaction with a disclosed price was an unaddressed Harvard parcel that sold for $921,500 on July 31. The sellers were Blythe L. Jamba and Guang Ying Li; the buyers were Alexander Straus and Jenny Citrin. No other sale in the period included a reported price, so a full ranking of top sales by dollar value is not possible from the available data. Other transfers recorded in the period, all with price not disclosed, included 41 Shaker Rd (seller Kevin Conley, July 31), 4 Simon Atherton Row (sellers Alexander Straus and Jenny Citrin, July 31) and 78 Barnum Rd (seller Barnum Road LLC, buyers Poulin Construction Inc. and Skilled Trades Partners, July 24).

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in the dataset recorded more than one sale, so no street-level clustering emerged this period. By price tier, only one sale falls into a known bracket: the $921,500 transaction sits above the $500,000 mark. The remaining nine sales, at 41 Shaker Rd, 4 Simon Atherton Row, 28 Mettacomet Path, 8 Park Ln, 145 Depot Rd, 79 Ann Lees Rd, 55 Jacob Gates Rd, 35 Elm Rd and 78 Barnum Rd, cannot be sorted into a price tier because no consideration amount was recorded.

MARKET NOTES Nine of the ten deeds recorded in this period did not include a disclosed sale price, limiting how much can be concluded about pricing trends for the month. Alexander Straus and Jenny Citrin appear as buyers in the $921,500 sale and as sellers of 4 Simon Atherton Row, both recorded July 31, meaning they transacted twice in the same filing window. Three transfers involved a bank as grantor: Merrimack County Savings Bank at 8 Park Ln, Santander Bank NA at 145 Depot Rd, and USAA Federal Savings Bank at 55 Jacob Gates Rd, along with NewRez LLC named alongside the seller at 28 Mettacomet Path. Two transfers show trust-to-trust patterns within an apparent family line: the Kurt A. Dutcher Investment Trust conveyed 79 Ann Lees Rd with Kurt A. Dutcher listed as trustee, and the Kim Hebert Revocable Trust conveyed 35 Elm Rd to the Bruce Steven Hebert Revocable Trust. At 78 Barnum Rd, Barnum Road LLC conveyed the property to Poulin Construction Inc. and Skilled Trades Partners, the only deed in the period naming construction-related entities as buyer. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available from the registry filings for any of the ten sales, so no price-per-square-foot or property-type comparisons can be made.
