Mendon Sale Prices Range Widely From $2,589 To $832,750 In Deed Filings

MENDON -- The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 11 property transfers in Mendon between June 26 and July 25, but sale prices were disclosed in only two of them, leaving most of the period's real estate activity impossible to price.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eleven property transfers were recorded in Mendon during the period. Of those, only two included a disclosed sale price, ranging from $2,589 to $832,750. The midpoint of those two figures is $417,669, but because price data covers just 18% of recorded transactions, that number should not be read as representative of the broader market. The raw count of 11 recordings is not unusual on its own, but the near-total absence of disclosed pricing makes it difficult to characterize the period as active or quiet based on value.

TOP SALES Only two transactions in the period carried a disclosed sale price. The higher was $832,750, recorded June 30 for a property listed only as "Mendon, MA," with no specific street address in the deed record. Kathleen Kohl and Kyle Kohl were listed as sellers; Movement Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. were listed as buyers. The second was $2,589 for 28 Colonial Drive, recorded June 26. Michael Salaices was listed as seller; LVNV Funding LLC, a debt-purchasing firm, was listed as buyer -- a price and buyer identity consistent with a debt judgment or lien rather than a conventional home sale. No other transaction in the period included a disclosed price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The 11 recordings span nine identified streets -- North Avenue, Blueberry Drive, Crestview Drive, Neck Hill Road, Puffer Drive, Harford Avenue West, Milford Street, Colonial Drive and Vincent Road -- plus one entry with no street address listed. No street had more than one recorded transaction. Kathleen and Kyle Kohl are listed as sellers in two separate recordings dated June 30: the $832,750 transaction listed only as "Mendon, MA," and a second, undisclosed-price transaction at 9 Puffer Drive. Because prices were disclosed for only two of the 11 properties, a price-tier breakdown is not possible for the remaining nine.

MARKET NOTES Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed records. Seven of the 11 recordings listed a bank, credit union, mortgage servicer, debt-purchasing firm or lending entity as grantor or grantee, including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., Mutual of Omaha Mortgage, Newrez LLC, GFA Federal Credit Union, Movement Mortgage, OCMBC Inc., Rockland Trust Co., Hold Funding LLC, RFGM Investing LLC and LVNV Funding LLC. That pattern suggests a number of this period's filings may represent mortgage assignments, discharges, refinancings or debt-related recordings rather than sales to new owners; the registry data provided does not distinguish between instrument types. With disclosed prices available for only two of 11 recordings, this period's data offers limited basis for drawing conclusions about Mendon home values.
