Millville Deed Prices Range From $25,000 To $386,650 In Disclosed Sales

MILLVILLE -- Eight property deeds were recorded in Millville between July 24 and Aug. 22, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds records, but sale prices were disclosed in only two of those transactions, limiting what can be concluded about the local market this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eight deeds were recorded in the four-week period. Of those, two included a disclosed consideration amount: $25,000 and $386,650, a range of $361,650. The median of the two disclosed prices is $205,825. Because six of the eight recorded transfers list no sale price, that median reflects a very small sample and should not be read as representative of typical sale prices in town during this period. Based on raw count alone, eight recorded deeds is a modest but not unusual volume for a single town over four weeks; the registry data provided does not include prior-period or year-over-year figures for comparison.

TOP SALES The highest-priced disclosed transaction was 40 Lincoln St., which sold for $386,650 on July 27. The seller was listed as Gillian G. Whittaker and the buyer as Citizens Bank NA. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record.

The second disclosed sale was a Millville property with no street address listed in the record, which sold for $25,000 on July 30. The seller was listed as "Chestnut Hill Rd Unit A; Englehart Richard M Jr" and the buyer as "Millbury Federal Credit Union; Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc." No further property details were disclosed.

The remaining six recorded transfers carried no disclosed sale price: 8 Old Coach Rd. (sold Aug. 3, seller listed as "Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc; Bay Equity LLC"); 44 Central St. (sold July 30, seller listed as "Taylor Bethany V; Hogue Bethany V"); 33 Chestnut Hill Rd. Unit A (sold July 30, seller listed as "Chestnut Hill Rd Unit A; Englehart Richard M Jr"); 136 Thayer St. (sold July 28, seller Shelley McGonagle); 107 Providence St. Unit A (sold July 27, seller listed as "Providence St Unit A; U S Bank NA Tr"); and 203 Thayer St. (sold July 24, sellers Robert and Kimberly Gilbertson). For each of these, price is not disclosed in the deed record.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Thayer Street had two recorded transfers in the period, at 136 Thayer St. and 203 Thayer St., both with prices not disclosed. Chestnut Hill Road Unit A also appears twice in the records, at 33 Chestnut Hill Rd. Unit A and in the unaddressed Millville entry tied to the same seller name, Richard M. Englehart Jr.; one of those two carried a disclosed price of $25,000 and the other did not. The remaining four addresses, 8 Old Coach Rd., 44 Central St., 40 Lincoln St. and 107 Providence St. Unit A, do not share a street with any other recorded sale in the period. By price tier, the only two disclosed sales fall under $500,000: one below $100,000 and one in the $300,000-to-$400,000 range.

MARKET NOTES Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in any of the eight deed records, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made. Several of the recorded transfers involved financial institutions as either seller or buyer, including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Bay Equity LLC at 8 Old Coach Rd., Citizens Bank NA as buyer at 40 Lincoln St., Millbury Federal Credit Union and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as buyers in the unaddressed Millville transfer, and U.S. Bank NA, listed as trustee, as a seller at 107 Providence St. Unit A. The registry data does not indicate whether these reflect foreclosure proceedings, refinancing, or another transaction type, and no motivation is stated in the record. Two deeds, the unaddressed Millville property and 33 Chestnut Hill Rd. Unit A, list the same seller name, Richard M. Englehart Jr., paired with the same "Chestnut Hill Rd Unit A" text in the seller field. The property type for each transfer (single-family, condominium or multi-family) was not specified in the data provided.
