Sterling Records Nine Property Transfers in August With No Prices Disclosed

STERLING -- Nine deeds were recorded in Sterling between Aug. 7 and Sept. 5, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds data, but none of the transactions listed a disclosed sale price.

MARKET OVERVIEW Nine deeds were recorded in Sterling during the four-week period. None of the nine transactions included a disclosed consideration amount, so no price range or median sale price can be calculated for the period. Based on count alone, nine recorded transfers over four weeks represents a modest, steady pace of recorded activity for a town of Sterling's size.

TOP SALES Sale prices were not disclosed for any of the nine deeds recorded this period, so transactions cannot be ranked by price. Recordings clustered on three dates: five deeds Aug. 13, three deeds Aug. 10, and one deed Aug. 7.

Three of the Aug. 13 recordings involved Douglas A. Baldarelli as trustee: a property with no street address listed, sold by the Boutelle Road Nominee Real Estate Trust and Baldarelli as trustee, with the buyer listed as Baldarelli individually as trustee and the Douglas A. Baldarelli Family Revocable Trust; 1 Sherwood Dr., sold by the Sherwood Drive Nominee Real Estate Trust and Baldarelli as trustee, with no buyer listed; and 20 Griffin Rd., sold by Douglas A. Baldarelli, with the buyer listed as Baldarelli individually as trustee and the Douglas A. Baldarelli Family Revocable Trust. Price was not disclosed for any of the three.

Also recorded Aug. 13: 2 Fox Run Rd., sold by Robert Arakel Israelian and Margaret Ann Israelian, and 279 Redemption Rock Trail, sold by James F. Andrade and Michelle L. Andrade. Price was not disclosed for either, and no buyer was listed in the available deed data.

On Aug. 10, deeds were recorded for 140 Leominster Rd., listing Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and NP Inc. as grantors; 1 Beverly Dr., sold by Sensory Gym LLC; and 68 Heywood Rd., sold by Tucker R. Bump and Kristen M. Valinski. Price was not disclosed for all three, and no buyer was listed.

The Aug. 7 recording covered 33 Taft Rd., sold by Maria Ina Abreu Grams and Tyler B. Grams. Price was not disclosed, and no buyer was listed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No two properties in this period's data share the same street name, so no street-level cluster emerges among the nine transfers. Three transactions, tied to Sherwood Drive, Griffin Road and a property sold by the Boutelle Road Nominee Real Estate Trust, involve Douglas A. Baldarelli as trustee on both sides of some deeds, a pattern consistent with transfers within the same family trust structure. Because sale prices are undisclosed across the full dataset, transactions cannot be grouped into price tiers either.

MARKET NOTES Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures are not available in deed records and are omitted. The nine transactions show a mix of grantor types beyond individual homeowners: two deeds list nominee real estate trusts, the Boutelle Road Nominee Real Estate Trust and the Sherwood Drive Nominee Real Estate Trust, as sellers; one deed, for 140 Leominster Rd., lists Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and NP Inc. as grantors; and one deed, for 1 Beverly Dr., lists Sensory Gym LLC as grantor. The remaining five transfers list individual sellers by name. No sale price was disclosed for any of the nine deeds recorded in this period, which limits any price-based analysis of the month's market.
