Single $200,000 Sale Is Only Priced Deed Among Nine Millbury Transfers

MILLBURY -- Nine property deeds were recorded in Millbury between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, but only one carried a sale price by the time records were reviewed, limiting what can be said about the month's market so far.

MARKET OVERVIEW Nine transfers were recorded in Millbury during the period. Of those, one carries a recorded sale price: $200,000, for a property on Orchard Street. The other eight transfers show "price not yet available," meaning the consideration amount has not yet reached the registry's public data, typically within about a week of recording. Because only one price is available, the $200,000 figure serves as both the range and the median for now; a fuller picture of price levels will depend on data that posts in the coming days. The raw count of nine recorded transfers is the only volume signal available; there is no prior-period or statewide figure in this data set to compare it against.

TOP SALES 9 Orchard St. sold for $200,000, the only transaction with a recorded price this period. The sellers were listed as B Living The Dream LLC and Brenda M. Leonard; the buyers were listed as TruNorth Bank and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available from the deed record. No other transaction in this period has a recorded price yet, so a ranked list of top sales beyond this one cannot be produced until additional price data posts.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The nine transfers were spread across eight different streets and addresses, with no street appearing more than once: Ilyas Lane, Gover Road, Old Common, Wheelock Avenue, Logans Run, Glen Avenue, Orchard Street and Brian Circle, plus one transfer listed only under a general Millbury address. With no street-level clustering and only one recorded price, a price-tier breakdown is not yet meaningful. The sole priced sale, at $200,000 on Orchard Street, is the only data point available for tier comparison this period.

MARKET NOTES Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available for any of the nine transfers, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made. Several of the recorded transfers involved banks or mortgage-related entities rather than two private parties: Guaranteed Rate Inc. to U.S. Bank Trust N.A. and Igloo Annex Series VI Trust on Ilyas Lane; Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Gretchen Hankins on Old Common; Millbury National Bank and Sailesh Kumar on Logans Run; and TruNorth Bank and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. as buyers on the Orchard Street sale. These patterns are consistent with mortgage-related filings such as discharges or foreclosure-related deeds, which the registry records alongside conventional sales; the underlying reason for each filing is not stated in the data.

Two transfers appear to involve the same family retaining or transferring a property among its own members: Rachel and Tadeusz Goclawski to Rachel Goclawski on a Millbury property, and the Macaruso Family Revocable Trust and Mark A. Macaruso as trustee on Glen Avenue. A third, the Lynn E. Anderson estate on Wheelock Avenue, is an estate-related filing. The deed data does not state a buyer for five of the nine transfers, including the Gover Road, Wheelock Avenue, Logans Run, Glen Avenue and Brian Circle filings, which is typical of certain non-sale deed types such as discharges, estate filings or easements rather than a change in ownership between two market participants.

Readers should note that the eight transfers without a recorded price are not necessarily final sales at $0 or sales where the price was withheld. The absence of a price most often reflects a lag between when a deed is recorded and when the consideration amount is entered into the registry's public database.
