One Recorded Sale Price of $270,000 Anchors Northbridge's Late-August Housing Data

NORTHBRIDGE -- Ten property transfers were recorded in Northbridge between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19, but sale prices had reached the Worcester County Registry of Deeds for only one of them by the reporting deadline, a gap typical of the roughly one-week lag between recording and price posting.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 10 deed transfers in Northbridge during the period. Of those, one carried a listed consideration amount: $270,000. Because only a single sale has price data on file, that figure also stands as both the low and high end of the recorded range and the nominal median; it should not be read as representative of the other nine transactions, whose prices had not yet posted. Ten recorded deeds is a modest count for a four-week span, but without comparable figures from prior months on hand, the raw number alone does not indicate whether the period was more or less active than usual.

TOP SALES

The only transaction with a recorded price was a Northbridge property that sold for $270,000 on Aug. 24. The seller was listed as Tarik Absar and Fatima Ezzahra Mokhtari; the buyer was MassMutual Federal Credit Union. No other sales in the period carried a price as of this report. Nine additional properties changed hands with prices not yet available: 66 High St., 73 Fairway Dr., 2068 Quaker St., 111 Lea Ave., 711 Samuel Dr., 132 Tipperary Dr., 11 Mendon Rd., 442 Rumonoski Dr. and 309 North Main St. Prices for these will be reported in a future roundup once they appear in registry records.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

The 10 deeds were spread across nine different streets, with no street accounting for more than one transaction in this period. By price tier, only one sale is currently classified: the $270,000 transaction falls under the $500,000 mark. The remaining nine sales cannot yet be sorted into price tiers because no consideration amount has been recorded for them.

MARKET NOTES

Beds, baths and square footage are not part of the deed record and are not available for any of the 10 transactions. Several deeds in this period listed banks or mortgage-related entities as grantor or grantee rather than individual owners, including Citizens Bank N.A. (66 High St. and 73 Fairway Dr.), UniBank for Savings (2068 Quaker St.), Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp. (111 Lea Ave. and 711 Samuel Dr.), and Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency (442 Rumonoski Dr.). The 309 North Main St. deed transferred between two grantors sharing the Klisiewicz surname, both listed as trustees. With price data available for only one of 10 transactions, broader observations about price-per-square-foot or property-type mix cannot be supported by this period's data.
