Disclosed Templeton Home Prices Range From $100,000 To $250,000 In Filings

TEMPLETON -- Twelve property transfers were recorded at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds for Templeton between June 26 and July 25, but only two listed a sale price, limiting what the data shows about the local market this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Of the 12 recorded transfers, only two disclosed a consideration amount, ranging from $100,000 to $250,000. The median of those two disclosed prices is $175,000. With price data available for just 2 of 12 transactions, the raw count of 12 filings cannot be characterized as active or quiet in dollar terms -- there is not enough disclosed pricing to gauge market value trends this period. Ten of the 12 filings listed no consideration amount, which is common for deed transfers involving trusts, estates, and lender-to-lender transactions.

TOP SALES

26 Brooks Village Rd sold for $250,000 on June 26. The sellers were Brian F. Slack and Sandra A. Slack, and the buyer was IC Federal Credit Union. A property listed simply as Templeton, MA sold for $100,000 on June 30; the seller was the Farrar Revocable Trust with Anthony J. Farrar as trustee, and the buyer was Greenstone Realty LLC. These were the only two transactions in the period with a disclosed sale price. The remaining 10 recorded transfers did not list a consideration amount and cannot be ranked by price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

By price tier, both disclosed sales fall under $500,000: the $100,000 Farrar Revocable Trust transfer and the $250,000 Brooks Village Road sale. The other 10 transfers, all price not disclosed, cannot be sorted into price tiers. Two transfers occurred on Circle Street -- 36 Circle St on June 29 and 42 Circle St on June 30 -- the only street with more than one recorded transaction this period. Other addresses recording transfers include 32 High St, 36 Pail Factory Rd, 131 French Rd, 16 Cherry St, 36 Depot Rd, 16 April Cir, 23 Winchester St and 497 Baldwinville Rd, each with a single transfer and no shared street pattern.

MARKET NOTES

Ten of the 12 recorded transfers, or roughly 83%, listed no sale price, so the disclosed price range of $100,000 to $250,000 reflects a small share of overall activity. Several transfers involved lenders or mortgage-related entities as grantor or grantee, including Capital One NA, JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc, Guaranteed Rate Inc, Workers Federal Credit Union, IC Federal Credit Union, First Community Mortgage Inc and United Trust Bank -- at 36 Pail Factory Rd, 131 French Rd, 16 Cherry St, 36 Circle St, 16 April Cir, 23 Winchester St and 26 Brooks Village Rd. None of these listed a sale price. Two transfers appear to be within-family or same-party transactions: 497 Baldwinville Rd moved from Edward N. Harrington to Cheryl L. Harrington, and 36 Depot Rd moved from Miguel Alejandro Montalvo Tutiven to Miguel Tutiven. A third, 32 High St, was recorded from Marc Surette as trustee to the Surette Family Revocable Trust, and 42 Circle St moved from Autumn Rose Wilson to the estate of Katherine Rose Smith. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available in the deed records for any of the 12 transfers, and property type -- single-family, condominium or multi-family -- was not specified in the data.
