Only two of 13 Gardner deeds carry recorded sale prices this period

GARDNER -- Thirteen property deeds were recorded in Gardner between June 19 and July 18, but sale prices were available for only two of those transactions at the time county records were compiled, limiting what can be said about the month's pricing trends.

MARKET OVERVIEW Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show 13 total property transfers recorded in Gardner during the period. Of those, one was a nominal-consideration transfer, not a market sale, and 10 had no recorded sale price available yet. That leaves two transactions with recorded prices: $50,000 and $441,195, a range that produces a median of $245,597 based on those two figures. Because only 2 of 13 recorded deeds carry a price so far, the raw transaction count of 13 is the most reliable indicator of activity for the period; pricing conclusions should be treated as preliminary until more consideration amounts post to the registry, which typically happens within about a week of recording.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction recorded was $441,195, closing June 24. The deed lists sellers Viliom Frantzy and Viliom Guettchenn and buyers Salem Five Mortgage Co LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. The deed record did not specify a street address beyond the town of Gardner.

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

No other transactions in this period have recorded sale prices yet. The remaining 10 properties, listed below, show "price not yet available" in registry data as of this report.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Among the 13 recorded deeds, no two addresses shared a street name: properties were spread across Lake Street, Montvale Road, Elm Street, Church Street, Main Street, Pine Street, Euclid Street, Watkins Street, Limerick Street, Donna Avenue, Ridgewood Lane and Airport Road, plus one deed with no listed street address. Because only two transactions carry recorded prices, both under $500,000, no price tier above $500,000 is represented in this period's available data. The remaining 10 addresses cannot be placed into a price tier until their consideration amounts are recorded.

MARKET NOTES One transfer, 86 Lake St Unit 86, was recorded as a nominal-consideration transfer under $10,000, not a market sale. The buyer is listed as "Bosk John A Est," indicating an estate-related transfer; the seller was Kathy Truax. Two of the 13 recorded deeds specified condominium units by unit number, 86 Lake St Unit 86 and 36 Ridgewood Ln Unit 10; the remaining addresses did not include unit designations in the data provided.

A substantial share of this period's recorded deeds listed banks, credit unions or mortgage-related entities as a grantor or grantee, including Workers Federal Credit Union, Avidia Bank, Customers Bank, Newrez LLC, Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, Rocket Mortgage LLC, Capital One NA, JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, Salem Five Mortgage Co LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. These entities appeared as parties in at least seven of the 13 transactions, including both of the two with recorded prices. No beds, baths or square footage figures were available in the deed data, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made this period.
