Disclosed home prices in Wendell topped out at $240,000 in July

WENDELL -- Nine properties changed hands in Wendell between July 3 and Aug. 1, according to deeds recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds, but sale prices were disclosed in fewer than half of those transactions.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded nine sales during the period. Of those, four listed a consideration amount, ranging from $46,000 to $240,000, with a median of $140,000 among the disclosed-price sales. The remaining five transfers carried no listed price. With disclosure covering less than half the month's activity, the available price data offers only a partial picture of Wendell's July market; the raw count of nine recorded deeds does not by itself indicate whether the period was more or less active than usual, since comparable prior-period figures were not provided.

TOP SALES

62 Montague Rd. sold for $240,000 on July 28, the month's highest disclosed price. Christopher Kranz and Darcy Flynn were the sellers; William Kranz was the buyer.

1 Wickett Pond Rd. sold for $200,000 on July 28. Joyce Flynn and Harold M. Flynn Jr. were the sellers; Athol Credit Union was the buyer.

174 West St. sold for $80,000 on July 24. Michael L. Skerry was the seller; Greenfield Savings Bank was the buyer.

216 Jennison Rd. sold for $46,000 on July 15. Leah Marie Visconti and Brian W. Easton were the sellers; Country Bank For Savings was the buyer.

No other transactions in the dataset listed a sale price. Beds, baths and square footage were not available from the deed records for any property.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Jennison Road was the only street with more than one recorded transfer: 216 Jennison Rd. sold for $46,000, and 95 Jennison Rd. changed hands with no price disclosed. All other addresses -- 62 Montague Rd., 1 Wickett Pond Rd., 174 West St., 1 Elm St., 269 Wendell Depot Rd., 5 John Quist Rd. and 25 Plain Rd. -- each recorded a single sale. Among the four disclosed prices, all fell under $500,000, with a spread from $46,000 to $240,000; the dataset contained no disclosed sales above that threshold.

MARKET NOTES

Three of the four transactions with a disclosed sale price -- 1 Wickett Pond Rd., 174 West St. and 216 Jennison Rd. -- list a bank or credit union as the buyer: Athol Credit Union, Greenfield Savings Bank and Country Bank For Savings, respectively. The deed data does not indicate the reason for these transfers. Five of the nine recorded deeds, including 95 Jennison Rd., 1 Elm St., 269 Wendell Depot Rd., 5 John Quist Rd. and 25 Plain Rd., carried no listed consideration, which is common for deed records and does not necessarily indicate the value of the transfer. At 1 Elm St., the sellers, Chantelle and Nicholas Duprey, shared a surname, consistent with a transfer within the same family; no motivation is indicated in the record. Property type -- single-family, condominium or multi-family -- was not specified in any of the nine deed entries.
