Single Disclosed Boylston Sale Puts Recorded Price At $30,000 in June

BOYLSTON -- Seven properties changed hands in Boylston in the four weeks ending July 25, according to deeds recorded at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds, but only one of those transactions disclosed a sale price.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded seven property transfers in Boylston during the period. Only one deed, for 5 Birchwood Drive, listed a consideration amount: $30,000. With just one disclosed price, the recorded range and median both stand at $30,000. The raw count of seven transfers is a data point on volume, but with six of seven deeds carrying no disclosed price, the underlying dollar activity in Boylston's market for the period cannot be assessed from this dataset.

TOP SALES 5 Birchwood Drive sold for $30,000 on June 29. The deed lists Melissa Richards, individually and as trustee, as seller and All One Credit Union as buyer. The remaining six transfers in the period carried no disclosed sale price: 23 Twin Spring Drive (sold June 30, sellers Neal and Janice Poretsky); 39 Scar Hill Road (sold June 29, sellers Todd R. and Lori L. Michalak); 9 Ledgewood Drive (sold June 29, sellers Aisling Kearns and Corey Ames); 6 Juniper Hill Drive (sold June 29, sellers Leonard M. and Meghan M. Brescia); and 6 Juniper Hill Road (sold June 29, also listing Leonard M. and Meghan M. Brescia as sellers). A seventh deed, recorded June 30 with no street address given, transferred property from the Morrissey Living Trust and Patricia Morrissey, as trustee, to Kevin T. Morrissey and Patricia Morrissey, as trustees.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Two of the seven deeds reference Juniper Hill -- one listing "6 Juniper Hill Drive" and the other "6 Juniper Hill Road" -- both recorded June 29 with the same sellers, Leonard M. and Meghan M. Brescia. The identical house number, sellers and recording date suggest these two entries may reference the same property under differing street-suffix naming in the registry data, though the dataset does not specify a relationship between them. The remaining five transfers are spread across five different streets or locations -- Birchwood Drive, Twin Spring Drive, Scar Hill Road, Ledgewood Drive and an unspecified Boylston address -- with no other street-level clustering evident in the period.

MARKET NOTES The dataset does not include square footage, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons are possible. One transfer, the deed with no listed street address, moved property between individual and trustee capacities within the same family name, Morrissey, a pattern consistent with a trust-administration transfer rather than an open-market sale. The lone disclosed transaction, 5 Birchwood Drive, named a credit union as buyer, which may indicate a foreclosure, repossession or other non-traditional transfer rather than a conventional owner-to-owner sale, though the deed data does not specify the transaction type. Property types (single-family, condominium or multi-family) are not identified in the available deed data.
