Only One of Nine North Brookfield Property Sales Discloses Price in Late July

NORTH BROOKFIELD -- Nine property deeds were recorded in North Brookfield between July 17 and Aug. 15, but only one carried a disclosed sale price, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds records reviewed for this report.

MARKET OVERVIEW Nine transfers were recorded during the period. Of those, only one deed, recorded July 23, listed a consideration amount: $242,095. Because the other eight records did not disclose a price, a full price range and median for the period cannot be calculated from this dataset; $242,095 stands as the only price figure available. Taken as a raw count, nine recorded deeds in a four-week span is a typical to active volume for a town of North Brookfield's size, but the near-total absence of disclosed prices limits any conclusion about where the market is heading.

TOP SALES Only one deed in the period carried a disclosed price, so only one sale can be ranked. That transaction, recorded July 23 with no street address listed on the deed, sold for $242,095. The sellers were Gary A. McComas and Laurie McComas; the buyers were Nations Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc.

The remaining notable transfers recorded during the period carried no disclosed sale price: 48 Mill Rd. transferred July 27, price not disclosed. Seller: North Brookfield Town Assessors. Buyers: Roland A. Morin and Judith W. Morin. 3 Sunset Dr. transferred July 23, price not disclosed. Sellers listed: Operative Bank and Danielle Smith. 22 Spring St. transferred July 23, price not disclosed. Sellers listed: Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc and Sierra Pacific Mortgage Co Inc. 11 Cider Mill Rd. transferred July 22, price not disclosed. Sellers listed: Urban Development and Kendra L. Cyr.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The nine deeds covered eight different streets or roads: Mill Road, Sunset Drive, Spring Street, Cider Mill Road, Shore Road, Hillsville Road, Old East Brookfield Road and New Braintree Road, plus one transaction with no address listed on the deed. No street had more than one recorded transfer during the period, so no street-level clustering appears in the data. With a disclosed price available for only one of nine sales, a breakdown by price tier is not meaningful this period.

MARKET NOTES Several sellers named in the records were financial institutions or mortgage servicers rather than individuals: Operative Bank appears as a seller on the 3 Sunset Dr. deed, MutualOne Bank on the 91 Old East Brookfield Rd. deed, and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc appears both as a buyer in the McComas transaction and as a seller on the 22 Spring St. deed. One transfer, 48 Mill Rd., moved from the North Brookfield Town Assessors to private buyers. Another, 32 Hillsville Rd., listed Zachary Hubacz and Lydia Hubacz, both identified as trustees, as sellers, indicating a trust-held property changed hands; the deed record does not state a reason. Two deeds, 23 Shore Rd. and 80 New Braintree Rd., listed a single individual seller (Robert Pellegrino and Carlene Hastings, respectively) with no buyer field recorded. No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage figures were available in this dataset, and property type, such as single-family, condominium or multi-family, is not specified in the deed records reviewed.
