Only One of Paxton's 10 September Sales Shows a Recorded Price So Far

PAXTON -- Ten deeds were recorded in Paxton between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, but sale prices for nine of those ten transactions had not yet reached the Worcester County Registry of Deeds by the time of this report, limiting how much of September's market can be assessed on price alone.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten property transfers were recorded in Paxton during the period. Only one carried a sale price so far: $412,685, for 620 Pleasant St. That figure is therefore both the low and high end of the available price range and the median among priced sales. The other nine transactions, 90% of the period's total, had no price on record at the time of this report. That is typical for registry data, which often takes about a week to show a recorded consideration amount, and does not indicate that any party withheld a price. With only one of 10 sales priced, the dataset does not support a read on whether prices this period ran high or low. On transaction count alone, 10 recorded deeds in a four-week span is the figure available; without data from prior months for comparison, it is not possible to say whether this represents a busier or slower period than usual for Paxton.

TOP SALES Only one of the 10 recorded transactions includes a sale price, so a ranked list of top sales cannot be compiled this period. That transaction: 620 Pleasant St sold for $412,685 on Sept. 18. The seller was listed as Investment LLC and Joshua Abraham Doiron; the buyer was listed as Investment LLC. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available from the deed record.

The remaining nine recorded transactions, listed by sale date, have no price yet on file: a Paxton parcel with no street address given (Sept. 18, seller Paxton Town and Mutual Builders Inc); 32 Red Oak St (Sept. 18, seller Paxton Town and Mutual Builders Inc); 18 Red Oak St (Sept. 18, seller Paxton Town and Mutual Builders Inc); 131 Pleasant St (Sept. 17, seller Hieu Nguyen and Thao Ngo); 2 Crowningshield Dr (Sept. 17, seller Dolores A. Holmes); 209 West St (Sept. 15, seller Webster Five Cents Savings Bank and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc); 11 Bel Arbor Dr (Sept. 15, seller Brain P. Carroll and Country Bank for Savings); 33 Keep Ave (Sept. 15, seller Jeffrey M. Tasca Tr. and Roberley H. Tasca Tr.); and 16 Tanglewood Rd (Sept. 11, seller Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc and Rocket Mortgage LLC). Prices for these are expected to populate in registry data in the coming days.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Pleasant Street accounted for two of the period's 10 transactions: 620 Pleasant St and 131 Pleasant St. Red Oak Street also accounted for two recorded transactions, at 32 Red Oak St and 18 Red Oak St, both transferred from Paxton Town to Mutual Builders Inc; a third transaction between the same parties was recorded the same day without a listed street address, meaning at least three, and possibly more, Paxton Town-to-Mutual Builders Inc transfers closed on Sept. 18. The remaining six transactions were spread across six different streets: Crowningshield Drive, West Street, Bel Arbor Drive, Keep Avenue and Tanglewood Road, each with a single recorded sale. No price-tier breakdown is possible this period since only one sale has a recorded price.

MARKET NOTES Four of the 10 recorded transactions list a bank or mortgage-servicing entity as a seller or co-seller: Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc appears twice (209 West St and 16 Tanglewood Rd), alongside Webster Five Cents Savings Bank and Country Bank for Savings on separate deeds. One transaction, at 33 Keep Ave, involved sellers identified with a trust designation, Jeffrey M. Tasca Tr. and Roberley H. Tasca Tr., consistent with a family trust transfer. Three transactions on Sept. 18 involved Paxton Town as seller and Mutual Builders Inc as buyer, the only multi-parcel buyer-seller pairing in the period. No bed, bath, square-footage or property-type data was available in the deed records, so no price-per-square-foot or housing-type comparisons could be made this period.
