Only One of Nine Upton Sales Has a Recorded Price So Far

UPTON -- Nine residential properties changed hands in Upton between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3, according to deeds recorded at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds, but sale prices have posted for only one of those transactions so far.

MARKET OVERVIEW Nine sales were recorded during the period. A sale price is available for one of the nine: a $480,000 transaction recorded Sept. 10. Because that is the only price on file, it also stands as both the low and high end of the recorded range and the median. Prices for the remaining eight sales were not yet available in registry records as of this report; sale prices typically post to the registry within about a week of a deed's recording date, so most of this period's figures should appear in the coming weeks. Judged on volume alone, nine recorded transactions in a single month is a moderate level of turnover for Upton, though a full read on pricing for the period isn't possible until the remaining consideration amounts post.

TOP SALES The only transaction with a recorded price was a $480,000 sale recorded Sept. 10, with sellers Ann Carroll and Paul Sanborn Cicchetti and buyers listed as Guild Mortgage Co. LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. The deed record for this transaction did not include a street address. Beds, baths and square footage are not available from deed records.

The remaining eight transactions have no recorded price yet and cannot be ranked by sale amount. They are: 149 Glenview St. (sold Sept. 11, seller Ann Carroll and Paul S. Cicchetti); 4 Plain St. (sold Sept. 11, seller Unibank for Savings, buyer Henry J. Poirier III); 40 Fowler St. (sold Sept. 9, sellers Daniel T. Comisky and Debra D. Comisky); 45 Mendon St. (sold Sept. 8, seller Bay Equity LLC, buyer Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc.); 218 Mechanic St. (sold Sept. 8, sellers Christopher Marcinkevicius Jr. and Abigail Marcinkevicius); 26 James Rd. (sold Sept. 8, seller Cathie M. Soter); 226 Milford St. (sold Sept. 8, seller NSA Property Holdings LLC); and 0 Warren St. (sold Sept. 8, sellers Thomas C. Davidson and the Upton Town Treasurer).

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The nine recorded transactions span eight different streets, with no two sales sharing the same street name, so no single-street concentration emerged this period. The sales are spread across Glenview Street, Plain Street, Fowler Street, Mendon Street, Mechanic Street, James Road, Milford Street and Warren Street, suggesting activity was distributed broadly across town rather than clustered in one area. Because only one sale has a recorded price, sales cannot be meaningfully grouped by price tier this period.

MARKET NOTES Several of this period's deeds name a lending institution or mortgage-related entity as a party to the transaction: Unibank for Savings and Bay Equity LLC appear as sellers, and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. appears as a buyer or co-buyer on two separate deeds. The Sept. 10 transaction's buyer is listed as a mortgage company and MERS rather than an individual, a pattern consistent with a mortgage-related filing. One transaction, at 0 Warren St., lists the Upton Town Treasurer as a seller alongside an individual. Property type, square footage and price-per-square-foot comparisons are not available from the deed data provided.
