Two of 10 East Brookfield deeds disclose sale prices this month

EAST BROOKFIELD -- Ten properties changed hands in East Brookfield between June 26 and July 25, but sale prices were disclosed in only two of the transactions, leaving most of the month's activity without a public dollar figure attached.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 10 property transfers in East Brookfield during the period. Of those, only two listed a consideration amount, ranging from $91,000 to $522,500, with a median of $306,750 between the two disclosed sales. Ten recorded deeds is a measurable volume for a single month in a town of East Brookfield's size, but the dataset does not include prior-month figures, so this report cannot characterize the period as active or quiet relative to historical norms -- only that 10 transfers were recorded.

TOP SALES The highest-value transaction disclosed was a $522,500 sale recorded July 7, with sellers Alexandra Lajoie and Richard Lajoie Jr. and buyer Cornerstone Bank; no street address was provided in the deed record. The only other disclosed sale was $91,000 for 113 Harrington Lane, recorded July 7, with sellers Benjamin and Jennifer Trigiano and buyers Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Onity Mortgage Corp. The remaining eight recorded transfers -- at 284 Howe St., 181 Flagg Road, 110 Drake Lane, 107 South St., 106 Park St., 104 Allen Road, 0 Allen Road and 0 Podunk Road -- did not include a disclosed sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Allen Road had two recorded transfers, at 104 Allen Road and 0 Allen Road, both listing Jean A. Wojcik as seller; neither deed disclosed a price. Alexandra Lajoie and Richard Lajoie Jr. appear as sellers on two separate July 7 transfers -- the $522,500 sale to Cornerstone Bank and an undisclosed-price transfer at 284 Howe St. By price tier, one sale fell above $500,000 ($522,500), one fell below $100,000 ($91,000), and the remaining eight transfers had no disclosed price to place in a tier.

MARKET NOTES Several of the month's deeds involved financial institutions rather than individual buyers or sellers: Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. appeared as a party in transfers at both 113 Harrington Lane and 110 Drake Lane, and North Brookfield Savings Bank was listed as a seller at 107 South St. Municipal entities were also parties to two transfers -- East Brookfield Town Assessors received 181 Flagg Road from Linda V. LeBlanc, and East Brookfield Town Treasurer was listed alongside Lynn E. Victor, trustee, on the 0 Podunk Road transfer. Deed records for this period did not include bedroom, bathroom, square-footage or property-type data, so no per-square-foot or housing-type comparisons can be made.
