Phillipston deed records show no sale prices disclosed in late summer transfers

PHILLIPSTON -- Eleven property transfers were recorded in Phillipston between July 24 and Aug. 22, according to deed records filed with the Worcester County Registry of Deeds, but none of the filings disclosed a sale price, leaving the period's dollar volume unknown.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 11 property transfers in Phillipston during the four-week period. No sale price was disclosed on any of the 11 deeds, so a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated for this period. Based on raw transaction count alone, 11 recorded transfers represent a measurable amount of activity for the town, though without price data or a prior-period comparison, it is not possible to characterize the period as active or quiet in market terms.

TOP SALES

Because no sale price was disclosed on any of the 11 deeds recorded this period, transactions cannot be ranked by price as intended for this section. The following transfers are notable for other reasons documented in the deed records, not for price

12 Lambs Cove Rd. transferred from Karl Hakkarainen and Karl A. Hakkarainen to the Town of Phillipston, recorded Aug. 29. Price not disclosed.

264 Petersham Rd. transferred from Workers Federal Credit Union to Kenneth C. Dupuis, recorded July 30. Price not disclosed.

160 Templeton Rd. transferred from Freedom Credit Union to Korin Gould, recorded July 29. Price not disclosed.

360 Highland Ave. transferred from Elisha W. Erb, trustee, and the Faith Nominee Trust to Randy R. Rameau, recorded Aug. 7. Price not disclosed.

A parcel with no street address listed transferred from Christof Chartier to Massachusetts Electric Co. and Verizon New England Inc., recorded Aug. 5. Price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Two streets each recorded two transfers during the period. Highland Avenue saw transfers at 360 Highland Ave. (Aug. 7) and 570 Highland Ave. (July 29). Royalston Road saw transfers at 80 Royalston Rd. (Aug. 4) and 785 Royalston Rd. (July 27). The remaining seven recorded transfers were spread across separate streets: Baldwinville Road, Petersham Road, Narrow Lane, Templeton Road, Lambs Cove Road and Myrtle Road, plus one transfer with no street address listed in the deed record. No price-tier breakdown is possible since no sale prices were disclosed.

MARKET NOTES

No sale price was disclosed for any of the 11 property transfers recorded in Phillipston this period, a pattern that spans trust transfers, credit union dispositions, a municipal acquisition and a transfer to utility companies. Two transfers listed a credit union as seller: Workers Federal Credit Union at 264 Petersham Rd. and Freedom Credit Union at 160 Templeton Rd. Two transfers involved a trust: the Faith Nominee Trust at 360 Highland Ave. and the Camp Myrtle Irrevocable Trust at 5 Myrtle Rd., where the seller was listed as Cynthia B. Fagundes, trustee. One transfer, at 12 Lambs Cove Rd., moved from Karl Hakkarainen and Karl A. Hakkarainen to the Town of Phillipston. One transfer's buyers were Massachusetts Electric Co. and Verizon New England Inc., with no street address listed in the deed record, indicating the filing may relate to a utility easement rather than a conventional real estate sale. Four deed records, for 80 Royalston Rd., 120 Baldwinville Rd., 570 Highland Ave. and 95 Narrow Ln., listed a seller but no buyer in the data provided. Beds, baths and square footage are not available from deed records and are omitted from this report; no property-type breakdown (single-family, condominium or multi-family) is possible from the data provided.
