Only one of 12 Holden property transfers carries a recorded sale price

HOLDEN -- Twelve property transfers were recorded in Holden during the period from Sept. 4 to Oct. 3, but pricing information has posted for only one so far: a $517,500 sale on Avery Road. The registry typically posts consideration amounts within about a week of recording, so prices for the other 11 transfers are expected to follow in the coming days.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Of the 12 deeds recorded, only one, 79 Avery Rd., carries a sale price in the registry's data: $517,500. That figure also stands as both the low and high end of the known price range and, by default, the median, since it is the only price currently on record. With 11 of 12 transfers still showing no consideration amount, it is not yet possible to assess how active or quiet the period was in dollar terms. The raw count of 12 recorded transfers over the roughly four-week span is in line with a typical month of deed activity for a town of Holden's size, though that observation is based on transaction count alone, not price.

TOP SALES

79 Avery Rd. sold for $517,500, recorded Sept. 4. The sellers were listed as Michael G. Conway and Jean H. Conway, as trustees; the buyers were recorded as American Heritage Lending LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. No other transfer in this period has a recorded sale price yet. The remaining 11 properties, including 304 Torrey Lane Ext., 46 Bancroft Rd., 193 Main St., 100 Industrial Dr., 137 Sycamore Dr., 48 Phillips Rd. Unit 17, 1158 Main St., 443 Quinapoxet St., 132 Salisbury St., 328 Bailey Rd. and one unaddressed Holden parcel, all show price not yet available.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Main Street had two recorded transfers this period: 193 Main St. and 1158 Main St. No other street had more than one recorded transfer. Because only one of the 12 transfers has a posted price, a price-tier breakdown is not yet meaningful; the single known sale, $517,500 for the Avery Road property, is the only data point available for comparison once additional prices are recorded.

MARKET NOTES

Two transfers share the same sellers, David L. Frye Jr. and Jennifer L. Frye: one unaddressed Holden parcel, recorded Sept. 8, where the buyers are listed as David L. Frye Jr. and Jennifer L. Frye, as trustees, and a second property at 137 Sycamore Dr., also recorded Sept. 8, with no buyer listed in the data provided. The 193 Main St. transfer, also recorded Sept. 8, lists Salome Mireya Grendell, as trustee, as seller and Salome Mireya Grendell, individually, as the only name recorded; both involve the same family name moving between a trust and individual capacity. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. appears in two separate recordings, as a seller at 46 Bancroft Rd. and as a buyer at 79 Avery Rd., indicating mortgage-related filings rather than typical owner-to-owner sales. One condominium unit, 48 Phillips Rd. Unit 17, was among the transfers; bed, bath and square footage data were not available for any property in this data set.
