West Boylston Sale Prices Range Widely as Most Deeds Omit Consideration Amounts

WEST BOYLSTON -- Worcester County deed records show 11 property transfers in West Boylston between July 24 and Aug. 22, but only two included a disclosed sale price, leaving most of the month's activity without a public dollar figure.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Eleven property transfers were recorded in West Boylston during the four-week period. Of those, two deeds disclosed a consideration amount: $169,420 and $665,000. Using only those two figures, the price range is $169,420 to $665,000 and the median is $417,210. Because 9 of the 11 deeds, or 82%, did not include a stated sale price, that range and median reflect just two transactions and should not be read as representative of the full month's market. The data provided does not include prior-month or prior-year sales counts for West Boylston, so it is not possible to characterize the 11-sale total as active or quiet relative to typical volume.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced disclosed transaction was 69 Maple St., which sold for $665,000 on July 31. The sellers were David Ward and Jennifer Ward; the buyers were Embrace Home Loans Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available from the deed record.

The second disclosed sale was a property listed in deed records only as "West Boylston, MA," without a specific street address, which sold for $169,420 on Aug. 4. The sellers were Melissa Molloy and Christopher Molloy; the buyer was Digital Federal Credit Union.

The remaining nine deeds recorded in the period, covering addresses on Wood Street, Kings Mountain Drive, Pheasant Hill Run, Woodland Street, Winthrop Street, Shady Lane and Angell Brook Drive, did not include a disclosed consideration amount and could not be ranked by price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Two streets each saw two transfers during the period, while the rest of the month's activity was spread across individual addresses.

Pheasant Hill Run: 17 Pheasant Hill Run sold July 29 (sellers Thomas R. Lake and Denise M. Lake) and 25 Pheasant Hill Run sold July 27 (sellers Stephen Kalinowski Jr. and Helen L. Kalinowski). Price was not disclosed for either.

Angell Brook Drive: Two deeds at the same street number, 14 Angell Brook Dr., were recorded July 24. One covered a specific condominium unit, 14 Angell Brook Dr. Unit 14, transferring from Angell Brook Village Condominium Trust to Evergreen Management Group. The other covered 14 Angell Brook Dr. generally, with M. Susan Klotz listed as seller; no buyer was listed in the record. Price was not disclosed for either.

The remaining seven transfers were single deeds on seven different streets: Maple Street ($665,000, detailed above), Wood Street, Kings Mountain Drive, Woodland Street, Winthrop Street, Shady Lane, and one deed listing only "West Boylston" with no street address ($169,420, detailed above). Price was not disclosed for the Wood Street, Kings Mountain Drive, Woodland Street, Winthrop Street and Shady Lane transactions.

MARKET NOTES

Price disclosure was limited across the period: only 2 of 11 deeds, or about 18%, included a stated sale price.

Five of the 11 transactions listed a bank, credit union or mortgage-registration entity as a buyer or seller. Digital Federal Credit Union was the buyer in the $169,420 transaction with no listed street address. Embrace Home Loans Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. were buyers in the 69 Maple St. sale. Worcester Fire Department Credit Union was the seller at 250 Woodland St., with Patrick M. Hayes as buyer. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. was the seller at 24 Winthrop St., with Milestone Mortgage Solutions LLC as buyer. All One Credit Union was the seller at 8 Shady Ln., with Erik F. Latorre as buyer.

One transfer, at 24 Wood St., moved a property from an individual owner, Nancy C. Barakian, to a trust bearing the same family name: Steven G. Barakian Tr. and the Nancy C. Barakian Irrevocable Trust.

One deed specified a condominium unit, 14 Angell Brook Dr. Unit 14. The remaining 10 deeds did not specify property type.
