Trusts and estates account for most Holden property transfers recorded in July

HOLDEN -- Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show 11 property transfers in Holden recorded on July 31, but only one listed a sale price, limiting what can be said about the town's broader market this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Eleven sales were recorded in Holden during the period, all dated July 31, 2026. Of those, only one deed disclosed a sale price: $585,900. The other 10 transactions did not include a stated consideration amount, which is common for certain deed types, including many trust and estate transfers. Because only a single price is available, the data does not support a townwide price range or median for the period; the $585,900 figure reflects that one transaction only, not a market-wide average. Based on raw count, 11 recordings in a single day is a notable concentration, though the dataset does not include prior-period figures to compare activity levels against.

TOP SALES

The only transaction with a disclosed price was a property in Holden that sold for $585,900. The deed lists the seller as Margaret P. Daley, trustee of the Margaret P. Daley Revocable Trust, and the buyers as Susan and Michael Gaudet. A related deed recorded the same day shows the Daley trust also conveying 78 Tea Party Circle, though that deed did not disclose a price; it is possible this is the same transaction as the priced sale, since no separate street address was listed for the $585,900 deed. Beyond that, no other transactions in the dataset carry a disclosed price, so no further ranking by sale amount is possible. The remaining nine properties, all recorded with "price not disclosed," were located at 1343 Main St., 160 General Hobbs Road, 64 Heather Circle, 38 Brentwood Drive, 310 Wachusett St., 47 Montana Drive, 46 Teresa Drive, 78 Tea Party Circle Unit 532, and 109 Moscow Road.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Tea Party Circle was the only street with more than one recorded transfer: a deed for 78 Tea Party Circle from the Daley trust, and a separate deed for a unit at 78 Tea Party Circle, Unit 532, with Michael and Susan Gaudet listed as sellers. The Gaudets appear as buyers on the disclosed $585,900 sale and as sellers on the Unit 532 transfer, suggesting these two deeds may be connected, though the registry data does not specify a relationship between them. No other street had more than one recorded sale in this period. Because sale prices were not disclosed for 10 of the 11 transactions, a price-tier breakdown is not possible with this dataset.

MARKET NOTES

Eight of the 11 recorded transfers list a trust or estate as the seller, either individually or alongside an individual seller: the Margaret P. Daley Revocable Trust (two deeds), the U.S. Bank Trust N.A. as trustee alongside Diane L. Ursin, the Setterlund family trust, Andrea D. Maher individually and as trustee, the Denise L. Driscoll trust, the estate of Gregory S. Sotir, and the Lisa M. Langevin Trust. Two deeds, for 38 Brentwood Drive and 46 Teresa Drive, list "T Bank" as a seller alongside an individual name. Deed records do not include property type, square footage or bedroom and bathroom counts, so no price-per-square-foot or property-type comparisons can be made from this dataset. Readers should note that the prevalence of trust, estate and bank-related sellers this period does not, on its own, indicate why any individual transfer occurred.
