Only two of 12 Southbridge deeds recorded a sale price this month

SOUTHBRIDGE -- The Worcester County Registry of Deeds recorded 12 property transfers in Southbridge between June 26 and July 25, but only two listed a sale price, limiting what can be concluded about the broader market this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve deeds were recorded in Southbridge during the period, but only two disclosed a sale price: $6,562 and $397,500. Based on those two figures, the price range is $6,562 to $397,500, with a median of $202,031. The other 10 transactions listed no consideration amount and are reported here as price not disclosed. With price data available for less than a fifth of recorded deeds, the raw count of 12 transfers cannot be characterized as active or quiet in dollar terms; volume alone shows a dozen properties changed hands or were refinanced/transferred during the month.

TOP SALES 61 Goddard St. sold for $397,500 on June 26, deeded from Phillip Torres to Guaranteed Rate Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., the only disclosed sale in the six-figure range this period. 325 Ashland Ave., Unit 12, Bldg. 1, sold for $6,562 on June 26, with Remzije Miftari as seller and the Massachusetts Housing Partnership Fund Board as buyer. No other recorded deeds in the period listed a consideration amount, so these two transactions are the only ones that can be ranked by price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN 325 Ashland Ave. accounted for three separate recorded deeds in the period: the $6,562 unit sale to the Massachusetts Housing Partnership Fund Board, a transfer from seller Patrick Gloss at the same street address, and a third deed for Unit 12 with Remzije Miftari and Astrit Miftari listed as sellers. No other street had more than one recorded transfer. The remaining nine sales were scattered across Dresser, Pleasant, Sayles, South, Hamilton, Crystal and Crestwood streets, each with a single recorded deed and no disclosed price.

MARKET NOTES Ten of the 12 recorded deeds, or roughly 83%, listed no sale price, meaning most of this period's activity cannot be assessed by dollar value. Several transactions involved lenders or mortgage-related entities as grantor or grantee, including Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (paired with Federal Savings Bank at 226 Dresser St. and with Juan Delacruz at 11 Sayles St.), Cornerstone Bank (paired with KBG Realty Properties LLC at 79 Hamilton St.), RCAP Solutions Financial Services Inc. (32 Crestwood Dr.) and Guaranteed Rate Inc. (61 Goddard St.). At least two deeds reflect transfers within the same name: Melody J. Steppic, as trustee and individually, at 181 Pleasant St., and Irene Proulx, listed two ways, at 218 South St. The 325 Ashland Ave. property also shows overlapping seller names across its three deeds, including Remzije Miftari on two of them. Deed records in this dataset do not specify property type, square footage or bedroom/bathroom counts, so no price-per-square-foot or housing-type comparison can be made this period.
