Winchendon's Lone Priced Sale This Period Closes at $70,513

WINCHENDON -- Fifteen property transfers were recorded in Winchendon between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3, but a sale price has posted for only one of them so far. That gap is typical of how the Worcester County Registry of Deeds processes consideration amounts, which generally appear within about a week of recording, and does not indicate any party withheld a price.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 15 property transfers in Winchendon during the period. Of those, 1 of 15 carries a recorded sale price: $70,513 for 23 Chestnut St. Because fewer than three transactions have posted prices, a full price range and median for the period cannot be meaningfully calculated yet; based on the single recorded price available, the range and median both stand at $70,513. That figure will shift as additional prices are added to the registry record in the coming days. The raw count of 15 transfers is comparable to a typical month's recording volume, though with pricing data this sparse, no conclusion can be drawn yet about whether the period was active or quiet in dollar terms.

TOP SALES

23 Chestnut St sold for $70,513 on Sept. 9. The seller was listed as Lynch Kristen and the buyer as Figure Lending LLC. It is the only transaction in this period with a recorded sale price; bed, bath and square footage figures are not available from deed records. The remaining 14 transfers recorded during the period have no sale price yet and cannot be ranked until that data posts.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Royalston Road saw the most recording activity of any street, with three transfers: 26 Royalston Rd North (seller Perry Joan C), 101 North Royalston Rd (sellers Thomason Danielle A and Thomason Thomas R) and 101 Royalston Rd N (sellers Pereira Sandra F and Miller Eric J). Ash Street had two transfers, at 309 Ash St (seller Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc and Amerisave Mortgage Corp) and 311 Ash St (sellers GFA Federal Credit Union and St Peter Andrew R). The remaining transfers were spread across individual streets, including Chestnut Street, Walnut Street, Madison Avenue, West Shore Drive, Juniper Street, Alger Street, Town Farm Road, West Street and Brown Street, each with a single recorded transfer. No sale prices are yet available for any of these streets besides the Chestnut Street transaction, so no price-tier grouping can be made at this time.

MARKET NOTES

Five of the 15 recorded transfers list Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc as a grantor or grantee: 26 Royalston Rd North's neighbor entries aside, these appear at 309 Ash St, 74 Madison Ave, 46 W Shore Dr, 17 Town Farm Rd and 322 West St. Transfers involving MERS typically reflect mortgage assignments or lender-side transactions rather than conventional owner-to-buyer sales. Two transfers, one with no listed address and one at 1110 Alger St, involve the same parties, Brewer Jeffrey W Tr and Brewer Family Investment Trust, as grantor or grantee, consistent with a family trust transfer pattern; no motivation can be inferred from the data. Beyond these patterns, the dataset does not yet include enough priced sales to support observations on price per square foot or property-type pricing trends.
