Just Two Of Eight Templeton Home Sales Disclose Prices This Period

TEMPLETON -- Eight property deeds were recorded in Templeton between July 24 and Aug. 22, but only two listed a sale price, leaving most of the period's residential turnover undocumented in dollar terms.

MARKET OVERVIEW Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show eight transactions recorded in Templeton during the period. Of those, two disclosed a sale price: $200,000 and $450,000, giving a full price range of $200,000 to $450,000 and a median of $325,000. With only two of eight deeds carrying a stated price, the disclosed figures represent a small sample of the month's overall activity. Eight recorded deeds in a four-week span is a modest volume for a single town, based on the raw count alone.

TOP SALES The higher of the two disclosed sales was a $450,000 transaction recorded July 30, with Connor Roche and Jessa Roche as sellers and Drew Mortgage Associates Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as buyers. No specific street address was listed for this transaction in the deed record.

The second disclosed sale was 189 South Rd., which sold for $200,000 on July 30. Jason S. Hebert and Jennifer L. Hebert were the sellers; Operative Bank was the buyer.

The remaining six recorded deeds, at 84 Baptist Common Rd., 22 Albert Dr., 458 Otter River Rd., 31 Central St., 179 Barre Rd. and 20 Baldwinville Rd., did not include a disclosed sale price in the registry data.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No two transactions in this period shared a street name, so no street-level cluster emerged. By price tier, the two disclosed sales fall under $500,000: one at $450,000 and one at $200,000. The remaining six transfers, covering Baptist Common Road, Albert Drive, Otter River Road, Central Street, Barre Road and Baldwinville Road, carried no price information and cannot be placed into a tier.

MARKET NOTES Bed, bath and square-footage data were not available in the deed records for any of the eight transactions. Two of the eight deeds involved a bank or mortgage-related entity as buyer or seller: Operative Bank was the buyer at 189 South Rd., and Cornerstone Bank was listed alongside Ryansjourneye LLC as sellers at 31 Central St. Connor Roche and Jessa Roche appear as sellers on two separate transactions, the $450,000 deed with no listed address and the 84 Baptist Common Rd. deed, both recorded July 30. Two other transactions listed sellers sharing a last name: Leclerc Valley View Farm and Matthew Leclerc at 179 Barre Rd., and Robyn Mullins and Phillip M. Mullins at 20 Baldwinville Rd. The registry data does not indicate whether these are related transfers, and no motivation is stated in the record.
