Southbridge's two disclosed sales this period ranged from $150,000 to $265,109

SOUTHBRIDGE -- Five property deeds were recorded in Southbridge between July 31 and Aug. 29, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds records, but only two listed a disclosed sale price, limiting what the data can show about the broader market.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Five sales were recorded during the period. Of those, two disclosed a sale price: $150,000 and $265,109, putting the disclosed price range at $150,000 to $265,109. The midpoint of those two disclosed prices was $207,554. The other three transactions, at 585 Charlton St., 119 Chestnut St. and 0 Harwood Farm Rd., did not list a consideration amount, which the registry allows and does not necessarily indicate a below-market or non-arm's-length transaction. Because three of five sales lack price data, the raw count of five recorded deeds is the most reliable indicator of activity for the period; whether that represents an active or quiet month cannot be determined without price data on a larger share of transactions.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was 9 South St., which sold for $265,109 on July 31. The sellers were Henry Baez and Adela Baez; the buyers were listed as Guaranteed Rate Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record.

The second-highest disclosed sale involved a property listed generally as Southbridge, MA, without a specific street address, which sold for $150,000 on July 31. The seller was Ada N. Altiery; the buyer was listed as Cornerstone Bank.

The remaining three recorded deeds, at 585 Charlton St., 119 Chestnut St. and 0 Harwood Farm Rd., did not disclose a sale price and therefore cannot be ranked among top sales by price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No two sales in the period shared a street name, so no street-level cluster emerged. By price tier, both disclosed sales, $265,109 and $150,000, fell under the $500,000 mark; no sales with disclosed prices reached the $500,000-to-$1 million or over-$1 million tiers this period. The three undisclosed-price transactions were spread across 585 Charlton St., 119 Chestnut St. and 0 Harwood Farm Rd., with no geographic concentration evident in the available data.

MARKET NOTES

Two of the five transactions listed a bank or mortgage-related entity as grantee rather than an individual buyer: Guaranteed Rate Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. at 9 South St., and Cornerstone Bank at the Southbridge, MA listing. That pattern is common in mortgage-related filings recorded through the registry alongside property sales. The 0 Harwood Farm Rd. transaction listed two business entities, Rock Splitters Inc. and New England Style Inc., as buyer. The 585 Charlton St. transaction listed two sellers sharing the surname Fenderson; deed records do not indicate the nature of that relationship. No bed, bath or square footage data was available for any of the five properties, so no price-per-square-foot or property-type comparisons could be calculated for this period.
