Median Disclosed Sale Price Holds Near $390,000 in Quiet July for Hubbardston

HUBBARDSTON -- Eleven property transfers were recorded in Hubbardston between July 3 and Aug. 1, but a sale price was disclosed in just three of them, ranging from $10,300 to $472,500 with a median of $390,000 among the transactions where a price was reported.

MARKET OVERVIEW Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show 11 total property transfers recorded in Hubbardston during the period. Only three included a disclosed consideration amount; the other eight listed no sale price, which is common in deed data and often reflects transfers such as foreclosures, mortgage discharges, or trust and estate transfers rather than open-market sales. Among the three disclosed sales, prices ranged from $10,300 to $472,500, with a median of $390,000. Because price data is available for barely a quarter of recorded transfers, the raw count of 11 recordings does not by itself indicate whether the broader sales market was active or quiet this period.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction was 53 Dogwood Rd North, which sold for $472,500 on July 3. Joseph Patterson was the seller; Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc and Northpointe Bank were listed as buyers.

The second-highest disclosed sale was 1 Barre Rd Cut Off, which sold for $390,000 on July 10. Angela Marie Giliberto and Benjamin Thomas Alzamora were the sellers; Bank of America NA and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc were listed as buyers. A second instrument for the same address, recorded the same day under the name "1 Barre Rd Cutoff," did not disclose a price.

The third disclosed sale, $10,300, was recorded July 17 for a property listed in deed records only as Hubbardston, MA, with no street address given. Laurianne Haslett and the estate of Lorraine E. Obrien were the sellers; Eric P. Desilets and Margaret N. Desilets were the buyers.

No other transactions in the period disclosed a sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Dogwood Road North had two recordings this period, at 52 and 53 Dogwood Rd North, sold July 17 and July 3, respectively; only the July 3 sale disclosed a price. Barre Road Cut Off also had two recordings for the same address, both dated July 10 -- one with a disclosed price, one without. The remaining seven properties were spread across separate streets -- Ragged Hill Road, Chicopee Drive, Madison Way, Healdville Road, Old Princeton Road and Lombard Road -- with no further street-level clustering.

MARKET NOTES Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from deed records for any of the 11 transfers. One transfer, at 4 Madison Way Unit 2, involved a condominium unit; deed data does not specify property type for the remaining 10. Several recordings involved lending institutions as grantor or grantee, including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc, Guaranteed Rate Inc, Bank of America NA, Cross River Bank, GFA Federal Credit Union, Northpointe Bank and loanDepot.com LLC -- a pattern consistent with mortgage-related or foreclosure recordings rather than conventional sales between private buyers and sellers. Two recordings involved trusts -- 52 Dogwood Rd North (Lampila) and 4 Madison Way Unit 2 (Bergin) -- and one involved an estate, the Hubbardston, MA property tied to the Obrien estate.
