Three Of 13 Northbridge Deeds Carry Prices Ranging $125,000 To $230,000

NORTHBRIDGE -- The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 13 property transfers in Northbridge between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, but sale prices have posted for only three of them so far, ranging from $125,000 to $230,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Thirteen property deeds were recorded in Northbridge during the period. Of those, three carry a recorded sale price: $125,000, $130,000 and $230,000, for a median of $130,000. The other 10 have no price on file yet, which is typical for deed data; prices usually appear in the registry within about a week of recording. Judging the period as active or quiet based on the raw count alone isn't possible without a prior-period figure to compare it to, and none is available in this data set.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced recorded sale was 256 North Main St., which sold for $230,000. The deed lists Matthew T. Flaherty and Matthew Flaherty as sellers and Unibank for Savings as the buyer. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available in deed records.

A property recorded with no specific street address, listed only as Northbridge, sold for $130,000. The sellers were Stacia E. Shuber and Anthony P. Shuber; the buyer was Citizens Bank N.A.

60 Lea Ave. sold for $125,000. The sellers were Gregory J. O'Donnell and Abigail E. O'Donnell; the buyer was Operative Bank.

The remaining 10 transfers, at 20 Pine St., 135 Border St., 100 Carpenter Rd., 338 School St., 810 Samuel Dr., 66 Ash St., 45 Highland St., 28 Fletcher St., 232 Fir Hill Lane and 128 Linwood Ave., have no price recorded yet and cannot be ranked among the top sales.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street in this period's data had more than one recorded transfer, so there is no street-level cluster to report. By price tier, all three sales with a recorded price fell under $250,000: 256 North Main St. at $230,000, the unspecified Northbridge address at $130,000, and 60 Lea Ave. at $125,000. The 10 properties still awaiting price data are spread across Pine, Border, Carpenter, School, Samuel, Ash, Highland, Fletcher, Fir Hill and Linwood, with no two sharing a street.

MARKET NOTES

Bed, bath and square-footage data were not available for any property in this data set, so no price-per-square-foot comparison is possible, and property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) was not specified in the records.

Banks or mortgage-servicing entities appear as either grantor or grantee in at least eight of the 13 recorded transfers, including U.S. Bank Trust N.A., Bank of America N.A., Citizens Bank N.A., Unibank for Savings, Operative Bank, PHH Mortgage Corp., Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., E Mortgage Management LLC and Ross Mortgage Co. Inc. None of these carried a recorded price as of this report.

Two deeds involved trustees: the transfer at 232 Fir Hill Lane lists Victor Hernandez, as trustee, and Sheila Ellen Hines, as trustee. A deed for 45 Highland St. lists two sellers sharing the Flanagan surname, consistent with a transfer within the same family; no buyer or price was listed for that record.
