Nine Upton Deeds Recorded in August Show No Disclosed Sale Prices

UPTON -- Nine properties changed hands in Upton between July 31 and Aug. 7, according to deeds recorded at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds, but none of the transactions disclosed a sale price, leaving this month's roundup without the pricing detail that typically anchors it.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded nine deed transfers for Upton properties during the period. No sale price was disclosed for any of the nine transactions, so a price range and median cannot be calculated this month. Based on transaction count alone, nine recorded deeds in a five-week window is a typical volume for a town the size of Upton, but the absence of any disclosed consideration amounts means the raw count is the only market signal available this period.

TOP SALES

Because none of the nine deeds included a disclosed sale price, transactions cannot be ranked by value this month. Listed chronologically instead: on Aug. 7, Wells Fargo Bank NA transferred 28 Grove St. to Freedom Mortgage Corp, and Connor Shults sold 57 Plain St. On Aug. 6, Citizens Bank NA and Pamela Whitney conveyed 5 Sadler Rd., and the estate of Walter Peter Matulis Sr. and Walter Matulis Jr. transferred 23 North St. On July 31, James Road Condominiums and Vineyard Point Ventures Inc. completed a transfer of an unspecified Upton property; Citizens Bank NA and W. Alex Koch conveyed 154 South St.; Citizens Bank NA and Michael J. Palmieri Jr. conveyed 179 South St.; the Nelson Living Trust, with Stephen R. Nelson as trustee, transferred 215 North St.; and Esther K. James and Esther James transferred 51 School St., Unit 3. Buyer names were not available in the deed data for any of these eight transactions beyond the seller information listed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

North Street and South Street each accounted for two of the nine transfers. North Street saw deeds for 23 North St. and 215 North St. South Street saw deeds for 154 South St. and 179 South St. The remaining five transactions were spread across Grove Street, Plain Street, Sadler Road, School Street and one property without a listed street address, so no other street-level clustering is evident. Because no sale prices were disclosed, sales cannot be grouped by price tier this month.

MARKET NOTES

Citizens Bank NA appears as a seller, alongside an individual grantee, in three of the nine deeds recorded this period: at 5 Sadler Rd., 154 South St. and 179 South St. A fourth transaction, at 28 Grove St., involved Wells Fargo Bank NA transferring the property to Freedom Mortgage Corp, another institutional entity. Together, four of the nine recorded deeds involved a bank as seller. Separately, three transactions show patterns consistent with transfers within the same family or an associated trust or estate: the Matulis family at 23 North St., the Nelson Living Trust at 215 North St., and Esther K. James and Esther James at 51 School St., Unit 3. The property type mix included at least one condominium unit, at 51 School St., Unit 3, and one transfer involving James Road Condominiums as a corporate entity. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available in the deed records for any of the nine transactions, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made this month.
