Single Recorded Price Among Twelve Holden Sales Holds Steady At $100,000

HOLDEN -- Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show 12 property transfers recorded in Holden between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, but only one carried a sale price in the data available as of this report, a reporting lag that is typical for recently filed deeds.

MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve sales were recorded in Holden during the period. Of those, one included a sale price: $100,000, recorded Sept. 16. Registry data on sale prices typically appears within about a week of a deed's recording, so the remaining 11 transactions recorded between Sept. 11 and Sept. 16 had not yet shown a price as of this report. Based on the single available price, the range and median both stand at $100,000, but that figure reflects one transaction, not the full set of 12, and should not be read as representative of the month's overall price level. The raw count of 12 recorded transfers is the only volume measure available this period; without pricing on 11 of them, the data does not support a characterization of the period as active or quiet in dollar terms.

TOP SALES The only transaction with a recorded price was a $100,000 sale that closed Sept. 16, with sellers Shannon R. Frick and Michael C. Frick and buyer All One Credit Union. The registry record did not include a street address for this transfer. No other sale in the period had a price available for comparison.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The 11 sales without price data were spread across 11 different streets, with no street recording more than one sale during the period: 37 Towle Drive, 70 Doyle Road, 46 Teresa Drive, 7 Stephanie Drive, 9 Summit Road, 1348 Main Street, 20 Boulder Hill Road, 142 Jamieson Road, 75 Deanna Drive, 19 Birch Avenue and 12 Cranbrook Drive. Because pricing is not yet available for these transactions, sales cannot be grouped into price tiers this month.

MARKET NOTES Several of the recorded transfers listed a bank or mortgage-servicing entity as a party, including Operative Bank, Citizens Bank N.A., BayCoast Bank, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Workers Federal Credit Union. Other transfers listed only individual names, including Ermal and Gabriela Toto, Timothy and Amy Grover Buzzell, and Nicholas and Jennifer Wheeler. Deed records do not specify property type, so this roundup cannot break sales down by single-family, condominium or multi-family status. With price data available for just one of 12 recorded sales, this period's dataset is too limited to support observations on price-per-square-foot or other price-driven patterns.
