Leicester deed data shows one disclosed sale price of $263,000 in August

LEICESTER -- Ten deeds were recorded in Leicester during the period covering July 31 through Aug. 29, but only one listed a sale price, limiting what can be said about the town's overall price trends this month.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 10 property transfers involving Leicester addresses during the period. Of those, only one deed disclosed a consideration amount: $263,000. With just one disclosed price, that figure also stands as both the low and high end of the price range and the median. The raw count of 10 recorded deeds points to ongoing transaction activity in town, but with nine of 10 transfers carrying no listed price, the data does not support a broader read on where values are trending this period.

TOP SALES The only transaction with a disclosed price was a $263,000 sale recorded Aug. 3, with sellers listed as Corrine Dignan and Corrine M. Hellstrom and buyer Country Bank for Savings. No street address was listed for this deed in the available data.

The remaining nine transfers recorded during the period did not disclose a sale price

• 89 Charles St., recorded Aug. 3, seller Amanda Bittencourt, buyer APB Sales Consulting LLC.
• 43 Water St., recorded Aug. 3, seller Leicester Town Conservation, buyer Carrie Panepinto.
• 68 Auburn St., recorded July 31, sellers Lawrence F. Laurent Sr. and Bonnie S. Laurent, buyer Country Bank for Savings.
• 778 Main St., recorded July 31, seller Central One Federal Credit Union, buyer SJLS Real Estate LLC.
• 10 Mayflower Cir., 57 Charlton St., 276 Pine St., 20 Victoria Dr. Unit 9 and 4 Birch Ln., all recorded July 31, each with price not disclosed.

Because sale prices are unavailable for these nine transactions, they cannot be ranked among the period's "top sales" by dollar amount; they are listed here for completeness.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in the dataset had more than one recorded sale during the period, so no street-level cluster emerged this month. By price tier, only one transaction can be placed with certainty: the $263,000 sale falls under $500,000. The remaining nine sales cannot be sorted into price tiers because no consideration amount was recorded for them.

MARKET NOTES Two of the 10 recorded deeds list Country Bank for Savings and Central One Federal Credit Union, respectively, as the buyer or, in the credit union's case, the seller of the property, a pattern sometimes associated with lender-involved transfers; the data does not indicate the reason for either transaction. Three deeds involved a buyer and seller sharing the same surname: 10 Mayflower Cir. (Jennifer M. St. John to Mark J. St. John), 57 Charlton St. (Andrew C. Burnham to Andrew Burnham) and 4 Birch Ln. (Mary Elizabeth Rodriguez to Orlando Rodriguez Jr.), consistent with transfers within the same family. One deed, at 43 Water St., listed Leicester Town Conservation as the seller. One property, 20 Victoria Dr. Unit 9, is identified as a condominium unit; property type for the remaining nine deeds cannot be determined from the address data alone. Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures were not available in the deed records for any of the 10 transactions.
