Only One of Berlin's 12 July Sales Discloses a Price

BERLIN -- Twelve property transactions were recorded in Berlin over the past month, but just one deed listed a sale price, leaving most of the period's real estate activity untraceable by dollar figures alone.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Twelve real estate transactions were recorded in Berlin between July 3 and Aug. 1, 2026, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds records. Only one of the 12 disclosed a sale price: $807,500, recorded July 16. Because that is the only price on record, it also serves as both the low and high end of the reported price range and, by default, the median. The remaining 11 transfers were recorded without a stated consideration amount, which is common for certain deed types, including trust transfers, bank- and mortgage-related filings. With disclosed pricing covering just 1 of 12 transactions, the count of 12 recorded deeds -- not price data -- is the most reliable available measure of activity this period.

TOP SALES

The period's only disclosed sale closed at $807,500 and was recorded July 16. The sellers were listed as Alireza Banazadeh and Sara Shafiei Haghighi; the buyer was Lowell Five Cent Savings Bank. The deed record did not include a street address beyond the town of Berlin. No other transaction in this period had a disclosed price, so the remaining 11 sales cannot be ranked or compared by price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Dudley Road had the most recorded activity of any street this period, with four separate transactions. Two were recorded July 16 at the same address: 114 Dudley Road, sold by Barbara M. Jordan, and 114 Dudley Road Unit 114, sold by Pamela Moore Day. Two more were recorded July 8: 128 Dudley Road, sold by April Ann Crouch, and 143 Dudley Road, sold by April Ann Crouch as trustee of the April Ann Crouch Trust to buyer Judith Newton.

Wilson Road had two recorded transactions: 9 Wilson Road, sold by Alireza Banazadeh and Sara Shafiei Haghighi (July 16), and 11 Wilson Road, sold by Brian W. Hughes and Becky Y. Hughes (July 15).

The remaining transactions were spread across individual streets, each with a single recorded deed: 236 Gates Pond Road, 75 Coburn Road, 23 Carr Road, 52 Pleasant Street and 59 Brook Lane, plus one Berlin transaction whose deed did not list a street address. None of these carried a disclosed price, so no price-tier breakdown is possible for the period.

MARKET NOTES

Several deed records point to bank- or mortgage-related parties rather than conventional owner-to-owner transfers. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp. are listed as sellers on the 236 Gates Pond Road deed. Clinton Savings Bank is listed as a buyer on the 75 Coburn Road deed and as a seller, alongside Mark F. Smith, on the 52 Pleasant Street deed. Lowell Five Cent Savings Bank is listed as the buyer in the period's only disclosed-price sale.

Three deeds involved trust entities as sellers: 23 Carr Road (Paul Michael Mitchell, trustee, to Paul Michael Mitchell), 143 Dudley Road (April Ann Crouch, trustee of the April Ann Crouch Trust, to Judith Newton) and 59 Brook Lane (Meadowbrook Village Condominium Trust and Donald Morgan, trustee). The deed data does not specify buyer information in all trust-related filings.

The same-day recording of 114 Dudley Road and 114 Dudley Road Unit 114, with two different sellers, suggests the property includes a subdivided or condominium unit, though the deed data does not elaborate further.
