Sale Prices Remain Unposted for All 10 Hubbardston Property Transfers Recorded in August

HUBBARDSTON -- Ten property transfers were recorded in Hubbardston between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds data, but sale prices had not yet posted for any of them, leaving this month's roundup driven by transaction patterns rather than price trends.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten deeds were recorded during the period, all dated between Aug. 24 and Aug. 27. No sale price had posted to the registry for any of the 10 transactions as of this report, so a price range and median could not be calculated this period. Based on transaction count alone, the four-day span of recording dates suggests a batch of filings rather than a steady weekly pace, though price trends cannot be assessed until consideration amounts post to the registry.

TOP SALES Because no sale price had posted for any of the 10 deeds recorded this period, transactions cannot be ranked by price. The following are the period's most notable transfers by other measures available in the deed data:

34 Mt Jefferson Road transferred from Mt Jefferson LLC to the Hubbardston Town Assessors on Aug. 24, a municipal acquisition. Price not yet available.

26 Main St. transferred from GFA Federal Credit Union to Philip J. Churchill on Aug. 27. Price not yet available.

25 Mayo Road transferred from Salem Five Mortgage Co. LLC to Wayne D. Howard Jr. on Aug. 27. Price not yet available.

45 Twin Hill Road moved from the Delisle Revocable Trust to Dennis J. Delisle, trustee, on Aug. 27. Price not yet available.

30 Simonds Hill Road moved from Kevin John Lamarche, trustee, to Kevin John Lamarche individually, on Aug. 26. Price not yet available.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Underwood Road saw two separate transfers this period: 44 Underwood Road on Aug. 25, involving Riley Robert Oliva and Shelby Kathleene Oliva, and 57 Underwood Road on Aug. 24, involving Kurt W. Leslie, trustee, and the Kurt W. Leslie Revocable Trust. No other street had more than one recorded transfer. The remaining eight transfers were spread across eight separate locations: Main Street, Twin Hill Road, Old Westminster Road, Mayo Road, New Templeton Road, Simonds Hill Road, Mt Jefferson Road, and one property for which the deed record did not specify a street address. Price not yet available for any of the eight.

MARKET NOTES Sale prices were not yet available for any of the 10 transactions recorded this period. That gap is typically a lag in how the registry posts consideration amounts and does not indicate that a price was withheld.

At least five of the 10 deeds involved a trust or reflected an ownership change among people sharing the same surname: the property with no listed street address and 60 New Templeton Road (both involving Rene M. and Donna M. Lafayette, transferred to Lafayette family trustees), 45 Twin Hill Road (Delisle family), 30 Simonds Hill Road (Lamarche), and 57 Underwood Road (Leslie). These patterns are consistent with trust administration or estate planning; the data does not indicate a specific reason for any individual transfer.

Two deeds, at 26 Main St. and 25 Mayo Road, list a bank or mortgage company, GFA Federal Credit Union and Salem Five Mortgage Co. LLC, respectively, as the seller of record, consistent with a lender-owned property changing hands.

One transfer, at 34 Mt Jefferson Road, involved the Hubbardston Town Assessors as buyer, the only municipal party among this period's recorded transactions.

Property type, bedroom and bathroom counts, and square footage are not available from deed records for any of the 10 transactions.
