Southbridge Sees Just One Sale Price Post While Registry Data Lags

SOUTHBRIDGE -- Thirteen property transfers were recorded in Southbridge between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19, but only one of those deeds carried a sale price by the time this report was compiled.

MARKET OVERVIEW Southbridge recorded 13 property transfers during the period. Only one deed included a sale price so far: $225,000 for a home on Brook Road, which sets both ends of the available price range and the median by default. The other 12 transactions had not yet had a price recorded in the registry data. With a price available for just one of 13 recorded deeds, the raw count alone does not support a characterization of the period as active or quiet.

TOP SALES The only recorded sale price this period is for 30 Brook Rd., which sold Aug. 21 for $225,000. Seller Maria T. Barrett transferred the property to buyer Marek Krawczyk. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available in the deed record. The remaining 12 transactions recorded during the period, at addresses including 20 Fairview Ave., 449 Hamilton St., 70 Westwood Pkwy., 28 Margaret St. and 325 Ashland Ave., had price not yet available as of this report.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street had more than one recorded transfer during the period; each of the 13 deeds involved a different address, so no street-level clustering emerged. By price tier, the single available data point, the $225,000 sale on Brook Road, falls under $500,000. The remaining 12 transactions could not be sorted into a price tier because no sale price has yet been recorded for them.

MARKET NOTES Nine of the 13 recorded deeds listed a bank, mortgage servicer or loan-registration entity, including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., Wells Fargo Bank NA, Citizens Bank NA, MidFirst Bank, Cornerstone Bank, Nations Lending Corp., Freedom Mortgage Corp. and Carrington Mortgage Services LLC, as either grantor or grantee. Two transfers involved a municipal entity: the Southbridge Town Planning board as seller on a parcel without a listed street address, and the Southbridge Town Treasurer as seller of 325 Ashland Ave. Beds, baths and square footage were not available for any property in this dataset, and property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) was not specified in the deed records provided.
