Only One Of 11 Upton Property Transfers Discloses A Sale Price

UPTON -- Eleven properties changed hands in Upton between June 19 and July 18, according to deeds recorded at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds, but only one of those transactions included a disclosed sale price, limiting what can be said about the town's housing market this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eleven deeds were recorded during the four-week period. Of those, only one -- a condominium unit on Knowlton Circle -- carried a disclosed sale price of $522,500, which stands as both the low and high end of the available price range and the de facto median. With price data missing from 10 of 11 records, the raw transaction count is the only reliable gauge of activity available from this dataset: eleven recorded transfers works out to roughly three per week, a pace spread across a mix of bank-related transfers, family trust transfers and transfers where deed records did not name a buyer.

TOP SALES The lone disclosed sale was 43 Knowlton Cir Unit A Bldg 6, which recorded for $522,500 on June 22. The deed lists Arpit Mehta and Surabhi Mehta as sellers and Leader Bank NA and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as buyers. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available for this or any other property in the dataset.

The remaining 10 transfers recorded during the period did not include a disclosed sale price, per deed records: 43 Knowlton Cir (June 25, seller Capital One NA, buyers Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank NA); 5 Shore Dr (June 24, sellers Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Freedom Mortgage Corp, buyer Freedom Mortgage Corp); 65 Shannon Way Unit 79 (June 24, seller Mark E. Boisvert, buyers Mark E. Boisvert as trustee and the Mark E. Boisvert Trust); a property listed only as "Upton, MA" (June 23, sellers Eugene P. Dipoto and Lynne Dipoto, buyers Eugene P. Dipoto and Lynne Dipoto as trustees); 93 Crockett Rd (June 23, seller listed as Eugene P. Dipoto and Lynne Dipoto as trustees); 114 Hopkinton Rd (June 22, sellers Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and PHH Mortgage Corp, buyer Freedom Mortgage Corp); 179 South St (June 22, sellers Amanda M. Borja and Daniel Borja Toaza); 154 South St (June 22, sellers Simon Ball and Cristiana Ball); 43 Knowlton Cir Unit A (June 22, sellers listed as "Knowlton Cir Unit A" and Arpit Mehta); and 16 Warren St (June 22, sellers John K. Sicurella and Stacey Lee Sicurella).

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Knowlton Circle accounted for three of the 11 transfers, all tied to the same street address in different units: 43 Knowlton Cir, 43 Knowlton Cir Unit A and 43 Knowlton Cir Unit A Bldg 6. South Street accounted for two transfers, at 179 South St and 154 South St. The remaining six transfers were each on a different street: Shore Drive, Shannon Way, Crockett Road, Hopkinton Road, Warren Street, and one property recorded without a specific street address.

MARKET NOTES Deed records show at least four of the 11 transfers involved mortgage or banking entities -- Capital One NA, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, Freedom Mortgage Corp, PHH Mortgage Corp and Leader Bank NA -- as either sellers or buyers, rather than transfers between individual owners. Two transfers were within-family trust conveyances: the Shannon Way unit moved from Mark E. Boisvert to his own trust, and the Dipoto family transferred property into the Eugene P. Dipoto and Lynne Dipoto trusts, including 93 Crockett Rd. No square-footage data was available in the dataset, so price-per-square-foot comparisons could not be calculated. With sale prices disclosed for only one of 11 transactions, this period's deed data does not support broader conclusions about single-family versus condominium activity or overall price trends in Upton.
