Only two of Auburn's 12 September deed sales show a recorded price

AUBURN -- Twelve property transfers recorded at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10 show a town with steady transaction volume, though only two sales carry a recorded price so far, a pattern typical of how deed data populates.

MARKET OVERVIEW Of the 12 recorded transfers, only two show a sale price in the registry's data as of this reporting: $40,000 and $170,000. That puts the known price range at $40,000 to $170,000, with a reported median of $105,000. Because 10 of 12 transactions have no recorded price yet, that figure reflects only the two disclosed transactions, not the full month's activity, and should be read with that limitation in mind. The remaining 10 sales will likely show prices within about a week of recording, per the registry's standard data lag. Based on raw count alone, 12 transfers in a one-month window represents active deed-recording activity for Auburn, though the heavy share of still-pending prices limits what can be said about pricing trends this period.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction with a recorded amount is a property on Boyce Street, which sold for $170,000 on Sept. 15. The seller was listed as Rondon Francisco Jr. and the buyer as Digital Federal Credit Union. The only other transaction with a recorded price is an Auburn property, address not specified in the data, which sold for $40,000 on Sept. 15; the seller was listed as Williams Susan M and the buyer as Cornerstone Bank. The remaining 10 transactions, ranging across addresses on Simonds Street, Reithel Street, St Mark Street, Leicester Street, South Edlin Street, Arrowhead Avenue, Curtis Street, Paul Street, Rockland Road Court and Horseshoe Drive, do not yet have recorded prices and cannot be ranked by value at this time.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The 12 transfers are spread across 12 different streets, with no street appearing more than once in this period's data. Because only two transactions carry a recorded price, a price-tier breakdown is not meaningful for most of the data; the two known sales fall at $40,000 and $170,000, respectively, with no transactions yet recorded between those figures.

MARKET NOTES Bed, bath and square-footage data were not available in the deed records and are omitted. No property-type classification (single-family, condo, multi-family) was provided in the dataset, so no mix can be reported. A notable pattern in the data: nine of the 12 transactions list a mortgage company, loan servicer, bank or federal savings institution as either the seller or the buyer, including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., CMG Mortgage Inc., Carrington Mortgage Services LLC, Select Portfolio Servicing Inc., U.S. Bank Trust N.A. as trustee, Quicken Loans LLC, Federal Savings Bank, Digital Federal Credit Union and Cornerstone Bank. Two transactions involved parties identified as trustees: the Reithel Street property listed sellers Stuczko Edward D. and Stuczko Gail M. as trustees, and the Arrowhead Avenue property listed Ross Steven A. as trustee alongside QS Lending Two Trust as buyer. The data does not indicate the reason for these trust or lender-involved transfers.
