Single Disclosed Price Anchors Paxton's Otherwise Undisclosed June Deed Activity

PAXTON -- Eight property deeds were recorded in Paxton between June 19 and July 18, but only one included a disclosed sale price, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds records. Most of the month's recorded transfers involved mortgage lenders, servicers or family trusts rather than price-disclosed sales between buyers and sellers.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded eight deed transfers in Paxton during the period. Only one carried a disclosed sale price: $100,000. Because just one of eight transactions disclosed a price, that figure also stands as both the low and high end of the range and the reported median. With seven of eight sales showing "price not disclosed," the raw count of eight recorded deeds cannot be read as a gauge of market activity independent of price data, and no statewide or prior-period figures were provided for comparison.

TOP SALES The only sale with a disclosed price was a $100,000 transaction recorded June 25, in which Scott F. Keenan and Caryn Keenan transferred a Paxton property to Navy Federal Credit Union. No street address was listed for this transfer in the deed record.

The remaining seven recorded transfers did not disclose a sale price. They included: 36 Village Rd. Unit 36, recorded June 25, from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. to Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp.; 7 Crocker Hill Rd., recorded June 24, from Operative Bank to Mark J. Mohamed, trustee; 537 Marshall St., recorded June 23, from Capital One NA to U.S. Bank Trust NA, trustee, and Delta Loan Trust; and 3 Pierce Cir., recorded June 22, from Northpoint Mortgage Inc. to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from deed records for any of the month's transactions.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in the dataset had more than one recorded transfer, so no street-level clustering emerged this period. By price tier, the data shows one sale under $500,000 ($100,000, disclosed) and seven sales with undisclosed prices that cannot be sorted into a tier. Addresses with recorded activity were spread across Village Road, Laurel Street, Crocker Hill Road, Marshall Street, Pierce Circle, Sherbrooke Drive and Knollwood Road, with no geographic concentration evident in the records provided.

MARKET NOTES A notable share of June's recorded transfers named banks, mortgage servicers or loan trusts as grantor or grantee rather than individual buyers and sellers. These included Navy Federal Credit Union, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp., Operative Bank, Capital One NA, U.S. Bank Trust NA as trustee, Delta Loan Trust and Northpoint Mortgage Inc. — appearing in six of the eight recorded deeds. Two transfers involved same-family names on both sides of the transaction: the 89 Laurel St. deed moved the property from the DeVico Family Trust to Christopher G. DeVico as trustee, and the 20 Knollwood Rd. deed moved the property between Kevin Nisbet and Jennifer Nisbet. The registry data does not indicate the reason for either transfer. The 3 Sherbrooke Drive deed, recorded June 22, was the only transaction in the period listing two individual names — Rhythm Kesavan as seller and Patrick Douglas as buyer — without a disclosed price or an associated financial institution. No property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) was specified in the deed data beyond the "UNIT" designation on the Village Road record, indicating that transfer was a condominium unit.
