Hubbardston's Only Disclosed Sale Price Holds Steady at $415,000

HUBBARDSTON -- Six property transfers were recorded in Hubbardston between July 24 and Aug. 22, but only one deed listed a sale price, leaving most of the period's market activity undocumented in terms of dollar value.

MARKET OVERVIEW Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show six sales in the period. Of those, one carried a disclosed consideration amount: $415,000. That figure marks both the low and high end of the known price range, and it also stands as the median, since it is the only price available for calculation. Five of the six recorded transfers, or roughly 83%, listed no sale price. With just one of six transactions disclosing a value, the data does not support a read on whether the period was active or quiet in dollar terms; the raw count of six recorded deeds is the only volume indicator available.

TOP SALES The lone disclosed sale, an unspecified Hubbardston address, sold for $415,000 on July 31. The seller was James Smith and Vicki Smith; the buyer was Anna Y. Dickerson and Mark S. Dickerson. No bed, bath or square footage data is available from deed records. The remaining five transfers, all with price not disclosed, were: 4 Brigham St. (sold July 31, seller Bruce C. Tuper and the estate of Elizabeth A. Tuper); 14 Dogwood Rd. South (sold July 31, seller Gerald A. Enos, individually and as trustee); 28 Madison Way (sold July 31, seller James Smith and Vicki Smith); 10 Ragged Hill Rd. (sold July 29, seller Linda Brisebois and David F. Brisebois, buyer Owen Ruud, trustee, and the Brisebois Family Trust); and 86 Chicopee Dr. (sold July 27, seller Jessica L. Davies).

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in the dataset had more than one recorded sale: Brigham Street, Dogwood Road South, Madison Way, Ragged Hill Road and Chicopee Drive each appear once, alongside the unspecified address tied to the $415,000 sale. By price tier, one sale falls in the disclosed range at $415,000, while five of six sales, or 83%, fall into an undisclosed-price category with no dollar figure to sort by tier.

MARKET NOTES James Smith and Vicki Smith appear as sellers on two separate deeds recorded the same day, July 31: the $415,000 sale and the transfer at 28 Madison Way. Deed records do not indicate whether the two transactions involve related properties. Two of the six transfers show patterns consistent with family or estate transfers rather than open-market sales: the Dogwood Road South deed lists Gerald A. Enos as both an individual seller and as trustee, and the Ragged Hill Road deed lists the Brisebois Family Trust as a buyer alongside sellers who share the Brisebois surname. The Brigham Street transfer involved the estate of Elizabeth A. Tuper as a co-seller. No bed, bath, square footage or property-type data was available in the deed records for any of the six sales, limiting further comparison.
