West Brookfield Sale Prices Span $20,000 To $322,650 In Latest Deed Recordings

WEST BROOKFIELD -- Fourteen property transfers were recorded at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds for West Brookfield between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, with prices ranging from $20,000 to $322,650 among the transactions reported so far. Only five of the 14 recorded deeds carry a sale price at this point; the rest are expected to show pricing within about a week, as is typical for registry data.

MARKET OVERVIEW Among the five sales with recorded prices, the range ran from $20,000 to $322,650, with a median of $115,000. Fourteen recorded deeds over a four-week span is a moderate raw count for a town of West Brookfield's size, though with price data still pending on nine of those transactions, it's too early to characterize the full scope of the period's market activity.

TOP SALES The highest-priced recorded sale was 69 Lake View Ave., which sold for $322,650 on Sept. 15. The seller was listed as Leslie Wayne Clayborne and Michele Thurber Clayborne, with Rocket Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. listed as buyer. At 112 East Main St., the property sold for $250,000 on Sept. 23; James M. Weagle was the seller and Rockland Trust Co. the buyer. The property at 54 Warepoint Road sold for $115,000 on Sept. 18, with William S. Poole as seller and Sally C. Blais as buyer. At 21 Nipmuck Road, the sale price was $100,000 on Sept. 14, with Robert Eric Peterson as seller and North Brookfield Savings Bank as buyer. A fifth recorded sale, at an address not specified in the deed record, closed for $20,000 on Sept. 23, with David Frazier and David L. Frazier listed as sellers and North Brookfield Savings Bank as buyer.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Four properties sold or transferred on lake-adjacent streets during the period: 48 Lake Shore Drive Ext., 33 Shoreline Dr., 129 Lakeshore Dr. and 69 Lake View Ave. Of those, only Lake View Avenue has a recorded price so far, $322,650, the period's highest. Two transfers were recorded on Main Street: 112 East Main St. ($250,000) and 240 W Main St. (price not yet available). The address at 54 Ware Point Road/Warepoint Road, with seller William S. Poole, appears twice in the data, with deeds recorded four days apart, Sept. 18 and Sept. 22; the earlier recording lists a $115,000 sale to Sally C. Blais, while the later one has no price yet available. The remaining transfers are spread across Central Street, Cottage Street, White Birch Drive, George Allen Road and one property without a listed address.

MARKET NOTES Of the five transactions with buyer information recorded, four list a bank or mortgage company as buyer: Rockland Trust Co., North Brookfield Savings Bank (twice) and Rocket Mortgage LLC/Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. Only one, the $115,000 sale at 54 Warepoint Road, lists an individual buyer. Seller David Frazier appears on two separate deed recordings dated Sept. 23, one involving 48 Lake Shore Drive Ext. and one involving an address not specified in the record. The transfer at 70 George Allen Road lists Joshua Scott Fickett's estate alongside Colleen Palacios as sellers, indicating an estate-related transfer. No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage data is available from deed records, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made this period.
