West Boylston deeds recorded without sale prices for entire late-summer period

WEST BOYLSTON -- Eight property transfers were recorded in West Boylston between Aug. 28 and Sept. 26, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds records, but none of the filings include a sale price as of this writing.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eight deeds were recorded during the period, but sale prices had not yet posted to the registry for any of them, so a price range and median cannot be calculated this cycle. Registry consideration amounts typically follow the deed filing by about a week, so figures for several of these transactions may appear in next month's roundup. Based on volume alone, eight recorded deeds in a four-week span is a routine level of activity for the town, though without pricing data it is not possible to characterize the market as active or quiet in dollar terms.

TOP SALES Because no consideration amounts were available for any of the eight deeds recorded this period, transactions cannot be ranked by price. The transfers, in order of recording date, were: an unspecified West Boylston property from Betty H. Needham to Linda S. Hasselmann, recorded Sept. 2; 3 Monticello Ave., from Pamela Gaffney to the estate of Norman R. Melendy, recorded Sept. 2; 371 Lancaster St., Unit 6, from CME Nominee Trust to Carmen M. Eldredge, trustee, recorded Sept. 2; 87 Bunker Hill Parkway, from Digital Federal Credit Union to Melissa S. Molly, recorded Aug. 31; 48 Yorktown Road, from Digital Federal Credit Union to Matthew R. Finn, recorded Aug. 31; 23 Brooks Crossing, from John J. Delaney to Debra R. Delaney, recorded Aug. 31; 136 Fairbanks St., from Jessica Colon to Ruben Colon, recorded Aug. 28; and 111 Shrewsbury St., from S Realty LLP to Middlesex Savings Bank, recorded Aug. 28. Price not yet available for any of the eight.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in this period's dataset had more than one recorded transfer, so no street-level cluster emerged. The eight transfers were spread across Monticello Avenue, Lancaster Street, Bunker Hill Parkway, Yorktown Road, Brooks Crossing, Fairbanks Street and Shrewsbury Street, plus one deed listing only a general West Boylston location. With no price data available, sales cannot be grouped into price tiers this period.

MARKET NOTES Two of the eight deeds, 87 Bunker Hill Parkway and 48 Yorktown Road, list Digital Federal Credit Union as the seller, both recorded Aug. 31. Two other transfers, 23 Brooks Crossing and 136 Fairbanks St., involve grantors and grantees sharing the same last name, Delaney and Colon respectively, consistent with a family transfer; the registry data does not indicate the reason for either transfer. The Lancaster Street transaction is the only recorded condominium unit sale in the period; the remaining addresses are consistent with single-family home formats. The Shrewsbury Street deed lists a bank, Middlesex Savings Bank, as the buyer rather than the seller, which is the reverse of the pattern seen in the two Digital Federal Credit Union transactions. Beds, baths and square footage are not captured in deed records and are not available for any of the eight transactions.
