Only One of 12 Shrewsbury Property Transfers Has Posted a Sale Price

SHREWSBURY -- The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 12 property transfers in Shrewsbury between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, but sale prices had posted for only one of them as of this reporting, a reminder that consideration amounts typically take about a week to appear in registry data after a deed is recorded.

MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve sales were recorded in the period. Of those, one carried a posted sale price: $597,500. Because only a single price has posted so far, the registry-reported price range and median both stand at $597,500, a figure that will shift as the remaining 11 transactions' prices become available in the coming days. The raw count of 12 recorded transfers in a four-week window is a typical volume for Shrewsbury; no comparison to prior months is available from this dataset.

TOP SALES The lone transaction with a posted price is a $597,500 sale that closed Sept. 14, with New England Home Buyers LLC as seller. The deed record for this transaction does not include a street address. The remaining 11 transactions have not yet posted sale prices and cannot be ranked by price at this time. Addresses among them include 172 Boylston St., 650 Grafton St., 36 Blossom Tree Dr. Unit 75, 31 Janet Cir., 312 South Quinsigamond Ave., 14 Kenilworth Rd., 36 Westwood Rd., 37 S Quinsigamond Ave. Unit 38C, 17 Farmington Dr., 12 Casavan Ave. and 11 Woodway Dr. Prices for these properties will be reported in a future roundup once the registry data is complete.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN South Quinsigamond Avenue saw two transfers in the period: 312 South Quinsigamond Ave., sold Sept. 11 with Shrewsbury Town Conservation and Raul Vargas as sellers, and 37 S Quinsigamond Ave. Unit 38C, also sold Sept. 11, with the Green at Shrewsbury Condominium Trust trustees and Dennis Hisoire as sellers. No other street in this dataset had more than one recorded transfer. The remaining nine transactions were spread across Boylston Street, Grafton Street, Blossom Tree Drive, Janet Circle, Kenilworth Road, Westwood Road, Farmington Drive, Casavan Avenue and Woodway Drive, each represented once. Because sale prices have not yet posted for 11 of the 12 transactions, a price-tier breakdown is not yet possible for this period.

MARKET NOTES Two of the 12 recorded transfers involved condominium units: 36 Blossom Tree Dr. Unit 75 and 37 S Quinsigamond Ave. Unit 38C. The remaining 10 addresses in the dataset are single-family-style street addresses. Four of the 12 transfers listed a bank, credit union or mortgage-registration entity as grantor: Citizens Bank N.A. (172 Boylston St.), Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (650 Grafton St. and 12 Casavan Ave.), Central One Federal Credit Union (14 Kenilworth Rd.) and Rockland Trust Co. (17 Farmington Dr.). That is a notable share of this month's recorded transfers and may reflect lender-related discharges or transfers rather than traditional owner-to-buyer sales; the deed data does not specify which. One transfer, 36 Blossom Tree Dr. Unit 75, listed a trust and an individual with the same surname as both grantor parties, consistent with a within-family or trust-administered transfer. Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures are not available from deed records and are omitted from this report.
