Spencer Deed Filings for September Carry No Sale Prices Yet

SPENCER -- Nine property deeds recorded in Spencer between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3 carry no sale price in the registry data reviewed for this report, a normal lag at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds rather than any withholding of figures by buyers or sellers.

MARKET OVERVIEW Nine deeds were recorded in Spencer during the four-week period ending Oct. 3. None of the nine include a consideration amount in the data available for this report, so a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated this period. Based on the raw count alone, nine recorded transfers over four weeks is a modest but steady pace for a single town. Sale prices typically post to the registry within about a week of recording and may be available in a future roundup.

TOP SALES Because no sale price has posted for any of the nine transactions, a price-ranked list of top sales cannot be produced for this period. The deeds recorded, in order of filing date, cover 29 Pleasant St. (Sept. 9), 132 Smithville Rd. (Sept. 9), 133 Paxton Rd. (Sept. 9), an unspecified Spencer address (Sept. 8), 27 Church St. (Sept. 8), 37 Marble Rd. (Sept. 8), 31 North Spencer Rd. (Sept. 4), 16 Highland St. (Sept. 4) and 22 Lyford Rd. (Sept. 4). Buyer and seller names appear only where the registry data provided them.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in the dataset had more than one recorded transfer. Three of the nine deeds name a bank or mortgage servicer as seller: Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Santander Bank NA at 29 Pleasant St.; Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and One Reverse Mortgage LLC at 132 Smithville Rd., with Urban Development listed as buyer; and JPMorgan Chase Bank NA and Carrington Mortgage Services LLC at 27 Church St., with Carrington Mortgage Services LLC also listed as buyer. Two deeds involve a change of ownership within the same family: at 133 Paxton Rd., Sharon L. Ramaska transferred the property to herself and Thomas J. Ramaska, and at 22 Lyford Rd., Karen Susan Terenzini transferred the property out of a trust to herself individually. The remaining four deeds, covering an unspecified Spencer address, 37 Marble Rd., 31 North Spencer Rd. and 16 Highland St., list only a seller in the available data.

MARKET NOTES The registry data for this period does not include bedroom, bathroom or square-footage figures, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons are possible. The data does show transfer types beyond a conventional sale to a new owner: three deeds involve banks or mortgage servicers as either seller or buyer, consistent with mortgage-related or post-foreclosure transfers, and two deeds reflect a change in ownership structure within the same family rather than a sale. D Lussier Builders LLC appears as seller on the 37 Marble Rd. deed, the only builder-sourced transfer recorded in the period.
