Single $350,000 sale is only disclosed price among 10 Gardner deeds

GARDNER -- Ten property deeds were recorded in Gardner between July 10 and Aug. 8, but only one of those transactions disclosed a sale price, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds records, leaving most of the month's home values undocumented in the public record.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Ten sales were recorded during the four-week period. Of those, only one, the July 13 transfer of 8 Nadeau St., listed a consideration amount: $350,000. Because that is the only disclosed price in the dataset, it stands as both the low and high end of the recorded range, and as the median, but it should not be read as representative of pricing across all 10 transactions. The remaining nine deeds were recorded without a sale price, which is common for certain deed types, including foreclosure and bank-related transfers. With price data available for just one of 10 transactions, this dataset does not support a determination of whether the period was active or quiet based on value alone; the only volume indicator available is the raw count of 10 recorded deeds.

TOP SALES

8 Nadeau St. sold for $350,000 on July 13. WinWin Properties LLC was the seller; the buyers were Gregg Aho, trustee, and Nadeau Street Realty Trust. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record.

No other transaction in the period disclosed a sale price, so no additional sales can be ranked by value. The other nine recorded transfers were: 71 Ash St. (July 14, sellers All One Credit Union and Jonathan C. Gabis); 13 Regan St. (July 13, sellers NexBank and Anthony J. Balzotti); 133 Douglas Rd. (July 13, seller Joshua Gonzalez, buyer Clinton Savings Bank); 31 Pinewood Dr., Unit 13B (July 10, sellers Rachel J.F. Bettencourt and Fitchburg Savings Bank FSB); 16 Greenwood St. (July 10, sellers Anthony J. Balzotti and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc.); 15 Draper Rd. (July 10, sellers Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency and Helber S. Valencia); an unspecified Gardner address (July 10, seller Kenneth R. Godfrey, buyers Thomas Riley and Timothy S. Damon); 84 Catherine St. (July 10, sellers Kelly Hampton and Catherine Monbleau); and 63 Catherine St. (July 10, sellers Urban Development and Danielle R. McCann).

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Catherine Street was the only street with more than one recorded sale: 84 Catherine St. and 63 Catherine St. both changed hands on July 10, though neither deed disclosed a price. Every other transaction occurred on a different street: Ash Street, Nadeau Street, Regan Street, Douglas Road, Pinewood Drive, Greenwood Street and Draper Road each had one recorded sale, and one deed listed only a Gardner address without a specific street. Because only one sale disclosed a price, the data cannot be broken into price tiers beyond noting that $350,000 is the sole confirmed value in the period.

MARKET NOTES

Seven of the 10 recorded deeds listed a bank, credit union, mortgage servicer or housing agency, All One Credit Union, NexBank, Clinton Savings Bank, Fitchburg Savings Bank FSB, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency, or Urban Development, as either grantor or grantee. Anthony J. Balzotti appears as a seller in two separate transactions during the period, at 13 Regan St. and 16 Greenwood St. The 8 Nadeau St. sale was made to a trust, Nadeau Street Realty Trust, with Gregg Aho named as trustee. One property, 31 Pinewood Dr., Unit 13B, was recorded with a unit designation indicating a condominium, distinguishing it from the single-address listings elsewhere in the dataset. No square footage data was available in any of the 10 deed records, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made.
