Sole Priced Sale in Sutton Reaches $900,000 as Nine Deeds Await Figures

SUTTON -- Ten property transfers were recorded in Sutton between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, but Worcester County Registry of Deeds data shows a sale price for only one of them so far, a $900,000 transaction that currently stands as the period's high, low and median.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten deeds were recorded in Sutton during the period. Of those, one has a posted sale price: $900,000, recorded Sept. 14. Because that is the only priced transaction, it also represents the full price range and the median for now. The remaining nine transfers have not yet had pricing data appear in the registry, which typically posts within about a week of recording. With pricing available for just one of 10 transfers, the raw count alone does not yet support a read on whether the period was active or quiet.

TOP SALES The one recorded sale price this period was $900,000, filed Sept. 14. The deed record lists no street address, only "Sutton, MA." The seller is listed as Blue Hills Living Trust and Sina Foroutanjazi, trustee; the buyer is listed as Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Huntington National Bank. Because the buyer is a mortgage-registration system and a bank rather than an individual purchaser, the filing appears to be a mortgage-related recording rather than a conventional home sale.

The other nine transfers recorded this period have not yet posted a sale price: 96 Eight Lots Road, 49 Wheelock Road, 69 Main Street, 20 Hough Road, 349 Central Turnpike, 29 Carr Street, 5 Peach Tree Drive, 29 Heritage Road and 278 Putnam Hill Road.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No two recorded transfers this period shared a street name, so no street-level cluster emerged. By price tier, the data supports only one placement: the $900,000 transaction falls in the $500,000-to-$1-million range. The other nine addresses, spanning Eight Lots Road, Wheelock Road, Main Street, Hough Road, Central Turnpike, Carr Street, Peach Tree Drive, Heritage Road and Putnam Hill Road, do not yet have pricing data to sort into a tier.

MARKET NOTES Five of the ten recorded transfers, 96 Eight Lots Road, 49 Wheelock Road, 69 Main Street, 20 Hough Road and 349 Central Turnpike, were all recorded Sept. 15 and list the Sutton Town Assessors as grantee. Three of those five list sellers as trustees: Cynthia Jellesma and Robert Morse at Wheelock Road, Carl and Page Oberg at Main Street, and John and Guilnar Engwer at Central Turnpike. Beyond the Sept. 14 mortgage-related filing noted above, two other records also name banks or trust entities among the parties: Webster Five Cents Savings Bank appears on the 29 Heritage Road record, and Blue Hills Living Trust and Sina Foroutanjazi, as trustee, appear again on the 278 Putnam Hill Road record. Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures are not available in deed data for any of the ten transfers.
