No Sale Prices Disclosed in Any of New Braintree's Six Recent Property Transfers

NEW BRAINTREE -- Six property transfers were recorded at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds for New Braintree between June 19 and July 18, but none of the deeds listed a sale price, and several involved mortgage servicers, a trust, or the town rather than a conventional buyer and seller.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded six transfers in the period. All six list no consideration amount, so a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated from this data set. Based on transaction count alone, the period was active by volume, but because no pricing data is available, whether it reflects a strong or weak market cannot be determined from these records.

TOP SALES

Because no deed in this period discloses a sale price, transactions cannot be ranked by value. The following are the recorded transfers, in order of recording date, each with price not disclosed

A property on 205 Hardwick Road transferred July 30 -- er, June 30, from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Liberty Home Equity Solutions Inc. to Urban Development, price not disclosed.

Two parcels on Oakham Road -- 965 Oakham Road and 0 Oakham Road -- both transferred July 14 from sellers Ashley W. Howard and Ethel J. Howard, price not disclosed for either. No buyer is listed in the available data for either parcel.

A property on 74 Sibley Road transferred June 23 from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Security First Mortgage Funding LLC, price not disclosed. No buyer is listed in the available data.

A parcel on McKay Road (listed as 0 McKay Road) transferred June 22 from Kelly E. Gagnon, trustee, to Kelly E. Gilman, trustee, price not disclosed.

A property with no street address listed transferred July 16 from Raymond A. Waugh and Heidi K. Waugh to the New Braintree Town Collector, price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Oakham Road accounted for two of the six transfers, both recorded July 14 with the same sellers, Ashley W. and Ethel J. Howard, involving a main parcel at 965 Oakham Road and an adjoining parcel listed at 0 Oakham Road. The remaining four transfers were on four different streets or, in one case, without a listed street address: Hardwick Road, Sibley Road, McKay Road and one entry recorded without a street address. No other streets recorded more than one transfer in this period, and because no sale prices were disclosed, sales cannot be grouped into price tiers.

MARKET NOTES

The six recorded transfers in this period differ from typical arm's-length home sales in ways the deed data makes visible. One transfer conveyed a property from a private seller directly to the New Braintree Town Collector. Two other transfers -- 205 Hardwick Road and 74 Sibley Road -- list Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as a seller alongside a mortgage-servicing entity (Liberty Home Equity Solutions Inc. and Security First Mortgage Funding LLC, respectively), with the Hardwick Road parcel passing to Urban Development. One transfer, on McKay Road, moved a property from Kelly E. Gagnon as trustee to Kelly E. Gilman as trustee. Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures are not available in deed records and are omitted here. No sale price was disclosed for any of the six transactions, which limits any assessment of value trends for the period.
