Sale prices withheld in all 12 Sturbridge deed transfers recorded this month

STURBRIDGE -- Twelve property transfers were recorded in Sturbridge over the four-week period ending Aug. 8, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds filings, but none of the deeds disclosed a sale price, leaving the period's dollar volume undetermined.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Registry filings show 12 recorded property transfers in Sturbridge between July 10 and Aug. 8. Every one of the 12 deeds listed consideration as not disclosed, so a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated for this period. With no price data available, the raw count of 12 transfers is the only volume figure the dataset supports, and it cannot be characterized as active or quiet without a price-based or historical point of comparison, which this dataset does not provide.

TOP SALES

Because no deed recorded this period disclosed a sale price, transactions cannot be ranked from highest to lowest price. The following are the period's transfers with the most complete address and party information on record, listed by recording date. 24 Evergreen Lane changed hands July 14; Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. is listed as grantor and Provident Funding Group Inc. as grantee, price not disclosed. 38 Beach Avenue was transferred July 13 from CIT Bank NA to Urban Development, price not disclosed. 76 Fiske Hill Road was transferred July 13 from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. to Melissa M. Beauchemin, price not disclosed. 6 Harding Lane changed hands July 10; Digital Federal Credit Union is listed as grantor and David A. Menard as grantee, price not disclosed. 38 Bentwood Drive was transferred July 10 from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. to Guaranteed Rate Inc., price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Crescent Way was the only street with more than one recorded transfer this period. 302 Crescent Way changed hands July 10, with William L. Zwiebel, as trustee, listed as grantor. A separate filing, for 7 Crescent Way Unit 302, was also recorded July 10, with Carlene Ostrobinski listed as grantor; the two addresses are listed separately in registry records and are not confirmed to be the same property. Every other location in the period, including Clarke Road, Evergreen Lane, Beach Avenue, Main Street, Fiske Hill Road, Harding Lane, Bentwood Drive, River Road and Preserve Way, had a single recorded transfer. Because no deed in the period disclosed a price, sales cannot be broken down by price tier.

MARKET NOTES

Six of the 12 deeds recorded this period, covering Clarke Road, Main Street, River Road, both Crescent Way filings and Preserve Way, list only a grantor with no grantee named, so buyer information is unavailable for those transfers. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., a nominee entity commonly listed on deeds tied to mortgage assignments and transfers, appears as grantor on three of the 12 filings: 24 Evergreen Lane, 76 Fiske Hill Road and 38 Bentwood Drive. One filing, an unaddressed Sturbridge property recorded July 14, shows Daniel Krasnecky and Tina M. Krasnecky transferring the property from themselves individually to themselves as trustees, a within-family trust transfer. The 45 River Road filing lists Kendra M. Sheehan and Kendra Sheehan as grantor, which may represent the same individual under two name variants; the record does not specify. Because sale price was withheld from every deed recorded this period, no price-per-square-foot comparison or property-type breakdown can be drawn from this dataset.
