Lone Priced Sale In Blackstone Closes At $455,900 This Period

BLACKSTONE -- The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 11 property transfers in Blackstone between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, but only one of those deeds carried a sale price by the time this roundup was compiled. That sale closed at $455,900.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Eleven deeds were recorded in Blackstone during the five-week period. Of those, only one listed a consideration amount: $455,900, recorded for a sale that closed Sept. 17. Because that is the only price currently on file, it also stands as the full range (low and high) and the median for the period. The other 10 deeds show no price yet, which is typical: sale prices often take about a week longer than the deed itself to reach the registry's data. Based on deed volume alone, 11 recorded transfers over five weeks is a measurable but unremarkable level of activity; a fuller read on pricing trends will depend on how many of the pending amounts post in the coming weeks.

TOP SALES

The one transaction with a recorded price involved a Blackstone property, address not specified in the deed record, that sold for $455,900 on Sept. 17. The seller was listed as Jacob Paul Belanger. The buyers were EMM Loans LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. No bed, bath or square footage figures were available.

The remaining 10 recorded deeds have no price yet available: 38 County St. (Sept. 17), 38 Orchard St. (Sept. 16), 246 Blackstone St. (Sept. 16), 280 Blackstone St. (Sept. 15), 133 Lakeshore Dr. (Sept. 14), 40 Union St. (Sept. 14), 13 Rocco Dr. (Sept. 14), 22 Carrington St. (Sept. 11), 2 Summer St. (Sept. 11) and 3 Marcel Ln. (Sept. 11). Because none of those carries a price yet, none can currently be ranked against the $455,900 sale.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Blackstone Street was the only street with more than one recorded transfer in the period: 246 Blackstone St. changed hands Sept. 16 and 280 Blackstone St. changed hands Sept. 15, neither with a price yet on file. The remaining nine deeds were spread across nine separate streets, County, Orchard, Lakeshore, Union, Rocco, Carrington and Summer, plus Marcel Lane and the one unaddressed Sept. 17 sale, with no other repeat streets among them. With pricing data this limited, a price-tier breakdown is not yet meaningful.

MARKET NOTES

A bank, mortgage servicer or mortgage-related company is listed as a party on 8 of the 11 recorded deeds. Those include Navigant Credit Union (246 Blackstone St.), Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (listed on three separate deeds, including the one priced sale), Santander Bank NA (280 Blackstone St.), Avidia Bank (40 Union St.), U.S. Bank NA (13 Rocco Dr.), Citizens Bank NA (3 Marcel Ln.), EMM Loans LLC (the priced sale), First Home Mortgage Corp. (22 Carrington St.) and Quicken Loans LLC (2 Summer St.). One deed, for 133 Lakeshore Dr., listed the Blackstone Town Conservation Commission as a party alongside Michael Savard. Property type (single-family, condo or multi-family) and square footage are not included in deed records and were not available for any of the 11 transfers, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made this period.
