Hubbardston records nine deeds but discloses only one $70,000 sale price

HUBBARDSTON -- The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded nine property transfers in Hubbardston between July 31 and Aug. 5, but only one deed disclosed a sale price: $70,000. The other eight transactions, including sales on Old Westminster Road, Gardner Road and Plum Tree Lane, were recorded without consideration amounts listed.

MARKET OVERVIEW Nine sales were recorded during the period. Of those, one disclosed a sale price, $70,000, which sets both the low and high end of the disclosed price range and stands as the median by default since it is the only figure available. Eight of the nine deeds, or 89% of the period's recorded transfers, carried no disclosed consideration amount, which is common for certain deed types, including trust and estate transfers. Given that limited disclosure, the raw count of nine recorded sales cannot be characterized as active or quiet based on price alone; it reflects transaction volume only.

TOP SALES The lone transaction with a disclosed price was a $70,000 sale recorded Aug. 4, from sellers Stanley J. Suchocki Jr., trustee, and Elizabeth A. Suchocki, trustee, to buyer Tek Construction LLC. No street address was listed in the deed record for this transfer, only "Hubbardston, MA." No other transaction in this period disclosed a sale price. Among the remaining eight, the most recent were a transfer at 91 Gardner Road (sold Aug. 5, sellers Craig D. Roberts and D. Roberts) and a transfer at 163 Old Westminster Road (sold Aug. 5, sellers Workers Federal Credit Union and Dawn Goulet), both recorded with price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Old Westminster Road saw two recorded transfers in the period: 163 Old Westminster Road (Aug. 5, sellers Workers Federal Credit Union and Dawn Goulet) and 25 Old Westminster Road (Aug. 3, sellers Richard W. Green and Joyce E. Green, buyer Hubbardston Town Assessors), both with price not disclosed. No other street had more than one recorded transfer. Single transfers were recorded at 91 Gardner Road, 6 Plum Tree Lane, 4 Brigham Street, 14 Dogwood Road South, 28 Madison Way and 21 Hale Road, plus the Suchocki-to-Tek Construction LLC sale with no street address given. Because only one of the nine transactions disclosed a price, a price-tier breakdown is not possible for this period.

MARKET NOTES Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures are not available from deed records and are omitted here. Three of the nine transfers involved a trust or estate seller: the Aug. 4 sale by Stanley J. Suchocki Jr. and Elizabeth A. Suchocki as trustees, the July 31 transfer at 4 Brigham Street from Bruce C. Tuper and the estate of Elizabeth A. Tuper, and the July 31 transfer at 14 Dogwood Road South from Gerald A. Enos individually and as trustee. One transfer, the Aug. 5 sale at 163 Old Westminster Road, listed a financial institution, Workers Federal Credit Union, alongside an individual seller, Dawn Goulet. One transfer, the Aug. 3 deed at 25 Old Westminster Road, named a municipal buyer, Hubbardston Town Assessors. With only one of nine deeds carrying a disclosed price, no price-per-square-foot or property-type comparisons can be drawn from this data set.
