Sale Prices Absent From All Ten Millbury Deeds Filed This Month

MILLBURY -- Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 10 property transfers in Millbury between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19, but sale prices for all 10 had not yet posted to the registry as of this report.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten deeds were recorded in the four-week period, nearly all dated Aug. 21, with one recorded Aug. 24. No consideration amount was listed for any of the 10 transactions, so a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated this month. Sale prices typically appear in registry data within about a week of recording, so figures for some or all of these transfers may become available in the coming weeks. By transaction count alone, 10 recorded transfers in a four-week span is a routine volume for a town the size of Millbury. The raw count does not by itself indicate whether the market was active or quiet, since price detail is needed to assess that further.

TOP SALES Sale prices for all 10 transactions were not yet available at the time of recording, so transactions cannot be ranked by price this month. Of the 10, one deed reflects a clear transfer to a named third-party buyer: 12 Phillip Dr., from seller Robert J. Hartigan to buyers Paul A. Lawson and Kelly A. Lawson. The remaining nine deeds list only sellers in the registry data, with no separate buyer named, or list a lender or mortgage-related entity as a party. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available in the deed data for any property this period.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Three of the 10 deeds share the same house number, 5, on a street name recorded three different ways: Salo Terr., Salo Ter. and Sale Ter. Sellers on those three deeds were Diane M. Magarian and the Magarian Family Trust; Charlis Ortiz and Nery Ortiz; and Zarri Dhembe, trustee, and the Magarian Family Trust. Whether these represent one property recorded multiple times or separate addresses could not be determined from the data provided. The remaining seven transfers were spread across separate locations: an unspecified Millbury address, 22 Wildwood Rd. Unit 2, 47 Howe Ave., 2 Ashton Ln., 5 Autumn Gate Cir., 12 Phillip Dr. and 31 Dolan Rd. No other street showed more than one recorded transfer this period.

MARKET NOTES Of the 10 recorded deeds, six list a seller and a second party sharing the same last name with no separate buyer named, a pattern consistent with family, trust or estate transfers rather than open-market sales. Those include the Weldon, Rossetti, Burke and Ortiz records, plus the two Magarian Family Trust transfers. Two deeds, at 47 Howe Ave. and 31 Dolan Rd., list Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as a seller, alongside Sheryl E. Brown and Sirva Mortgage Inc., respectively. Property types recorded include one condominium unit, at 22 Wildwood Rd. Unit 2; the rest appear to be single-family addresses based on the street-address format in the data, though no explicit property-type field was provided. Because no consideration amounts were recorded for any transaction, no price-per-square-foot or price-tier analysis is possible this period.
