Just three of 13 Gardner property sales disclose prices this month

GARDNER -- The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 13 property transfers in Gardner between June 19 and July 18, but only three listed a sale price, ranging from $4,780 to $441,195. Bank, mortgage-servicer or credit-union names appeared as grantor or grantee in nine of the 13 transactions.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Gardner recorded 13 property transfers during the period. Of those, three disclosed a sale price: $4,780; $50,000; and $441,195. The median of the three disclosed prices is $50,000. With 10 of 13 transfers carrying no disclosed consideration, the raw count of 13 transfers is the only volume figure available for this period; no prior-month data was provided for comparison, so whether this represents a pickup or slowdown in activity cannot be determined from this dataset alone.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced disclosed sale was $441,195, recorded June 24, for a property listed in deed records only as "Gardner, MA" with no street address given. The seller was recorded as Viliom Frantzy and Viliom Guettchenn; the buyer was Salem Five Mortgage Co LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc.

The second-highest disclosed sale was 81 Church St., which sold for $50,000 on June 23. The seller was Marjorie J. Fischer; the buyer was Workers Federal Credit Union.

The third disclosed sale was 86 Lake St., Unit 86, which sold for $4,780 on June 24. The seller was Kathy Truax; the buyer was recorded as the Estate of John A. Bosk.

The remaining 10 transfers -- at 40 Montvale Rd., 204 Elm St., 354 Main St., 3 Pine St., 78 Euclid St., 43 Watkins St., 37 Limerick St., 43 Donna Ave., 36 Ridgewood Ln. Unit 10, and 218 Airport Rd. -- had no price disclosed in deed records.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street name repeated among the 13 recorded transfers this period, so no single street stood out for sales concentration. Among the three transactions with disclosed prices, one fell under $10,000 (86 Lake St.), one fell in the $10,000-to-$100,000 range ($50,000, 81 Church St.), and one exceeded $400,000 ($441,195, address not specified). The 10 transfers without disclosed prices spanned Montvale Road, Elm Street, Main Street, Pine Street, Euclid Street, Watkins Street, Limerick Street, Donna Avenue, Ridgewood Lane and Airport Road, with no geographic clustering evident from the data provided.
