Only One Of Nine Hopedale Property Sales Discloses Price In July

HOPEDALE -- Nine property deeds were recorded in Hopedale between July 3 and Aug. 1, but only one of those transactions included a disclosed sale price, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds records, leaving most of the period's activity without pricing detail.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded nine Hopedale property transfers during the period. Only one deed, recorded July 8, listed a consideration amount: $446,200. The other eight transactions carried no disclosed price, which is common for certain deed types, including bank-to-owner and trust transfers. Because pricing data exists for just one of the nine sales, the reported price range and median -- both $446,200 -- reflect that single transaction rather than the full month's activity. With disclosed pricing this limited, the raw count of nine recorded deeds cannot be characterized as an active or quiet market based on price trends alone.

TOP SALES A Hopedale property sold July 8 for $446,200, the only disclosed price recorded this period. The deed listed Stephanie Marcott and Stephanie Anne Marcott as sellers and Service Federal Credit Union as buyer; no street address was listed in the record. A separate deed for 14 Oak St., also recorded July 8, listed Stephanie Anne Marcott as seller with no price disclosed. At 1 Old Salt Box Rd., a property sold July 9 for an undisclosed price, with Milford Federal Bank and James P. Krauss listed as sellers. At 14 Rockridge Rd., a property sold July 7 for an undisclosed price, with Bank of America NA and First American Mortgage Solutions LLC as sellers. At 19 Harmony Trl., a property sold July 7 for an undisclosed price, with JPMorgan Chase Bank NA and Jennifer McKeon listed as sellers.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The nine sales were spread across nine different streets -- Old Salt Box Road, Oak Street, Rockridge Road, Harmony Trail, Laurelwood Drive, Northrop Street, Heron Lane, and Bens Way, plus one deed with no street address listed -- with no street accounting for more than one recorded sale. Price-tier grouping was not possible for this period because only one of the nine transactions disclosed a sale price.

MARKET NOTES A financial institution or credit union was listed as grantor or grantee in five of the nine deeds recorded this period: Milford Federal Bank (1 Old Salt Box Rd.), Bank of America NA and First American Mortgage Solutions LLC (14 Rockridge Rd.), JPMorgan Chase Bank NA (19 Harmony Trl.), Align Credit Union (25 Heron Ln.), and Service Federal Credit Union, listed as buyer in the one disclosed sale. One transfer, at 6 Laurelwood Dr., moved from the Mary J. Mitchell Revocable Trust to Mary J. Mitchell as trustee, a within-family trust transfer. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed data for any of the nine properties, and eight of the nine transactions carried no disclosed sale price.
