Petersham Deed Prices Range From $97,000 To $150,000 In Limited Data

PETERSHAM -- Eleven property deeds were recorded in Petersham over the past month, but sale prices were disclosed in only two of them, ranging from $97,000 to $150,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 11 property transfers in Petersham between June 19 and July 18. Of those, only two deeds listed a sale price: $97,000 and $150,000, for a price range of $97,000 to $150,000 and a median of $123,500. With price data missing from nine of the 11 transactions, the raw count of 11 deeds does not, on its own, indicate whether the period was active or quiet in dollar terms.

TOP SALES Because only two of the 11 deeds disclosed a sale price, those are the only transactions that can be ranked. 30 South Main St. sold for $150,000, recorded July 1. The deed lists sellers Audrey L. Mazeika and David M. Mazeika and buyers BankESB and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. A Petersham property, with no street address specified in the deed, sold for $97,000, recorded July 17. The deed lists sellers John H. Sherwood and Peter R. Sherwood and buyers Roger McHugh and Kathleen McHugh. Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from deed records for either transaction.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Two streets had more than one deed recorded this period. East Street had two transfers: 5 East St., with seller Lynn Scott and buyer Goodleap LLC, price not disclosed; and 53 East St., with seller UMassFive College Federal Credit Union and a party listed as Nancy Lowe, price not disclosed. Monson Turnpike also had two deeds, both recorded June 30 — one at 61 Monson Tpk. with sellers Randy J. Rameau and Cynthia A. Rameau, and one at 61 Monson Turnpike Rd. with seller Allan Rantala; neither deed lists a buyer or a price. No buyer is listed in the available data for either Monson Turnpike deed or the East Street deeds. Because only two of the 11 sales this period disclosed a price, a breakdown by price tier is not meaningful for the remaining transactions.

MARKET NOTES Several of the 11 deeds involved mortgage-industry entities as a named party rather than an individual buyer or seller. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc appears in three transfers (190 Hardwick Rd., 107 N. Main St. and 42 South St.), and U.S. Bank NA, Guaranteed Rate Inc, Total Mortgage Services LLC and BankESB each appear as a party in at least one deed. That pattern is consistent with lender-related or foreclosure-linked recordings, though the data provided does not specify the nature of each transfer. Nine of the 11 deeds recorded this period list no buyer name in the available data. Property type, bed and bath counts, and square footage are not part of deed records and are not available for any of the 11 transactions.
