One Disclosed Price in Ten Whately Deeds Limits June Market Picture

WHATELY -- Ten deeds were recorded in Whately between May 31 and June 29, 2026, but only one carried a disclosed sale price, limiting what the data can reveal about current market values in town.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Ten transactions appeared in Franklin County Registry of Deeds records for the period. Of those, nine carried no disclosed consideration amount, leaving a single sale price on record: $138,354, recorded June 16 at 178 Chestnut Plain Road. With only one disclosed price, a meaningful price range or median cannot be calculated for the period. The volume of ten recorded deeds is notable, but the near-total absence of disclosed prices makes it impossible to characterize market conditions from this dataset alone.
• TOP SALES
• The only transaction with a disclosed price was 178 Chestnut Plain Road, which recorded at $138,354 on June 16. The grantees listed are Valon Mortgage Inc. and Dart Collateral Manager LLC, and the seller of record is Hope G. Ogletree. The nature of the transfer — conveying to a mortgage servicer and collateral manager — suggests this is not a conventional arm's-length sale; the recorded consideration reflects the deed as filed and is reported here as disclosed.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• No street in Whately produced more than one deed in the period. Addresses recorded span several distinct roads: Westbrook Road, Masterson Road, Poplar Hill Road, Chestnut Plain Road, Christian Lane, Long Plain Road, Grey Oak Lane, State Road, and River Road. One entry lacked a street address entirely. Given the single disclosed price and the geographic spread, no meaningful price-tier breakdown is possible from this data.
• MARKET NOTES
• Several transfers in the dataset show characteristics of non-arm's-length activity. The deed at 32 Masterson Road transferred from Sharon A. Kieras to Leanne M. Kieras, consistent with a family transfer. The deed at 45 Poplar Hill Road lists Florence Bank as seller, with Gabriel A. and Elizabeth B. Cooney as buyers, a pattern common in foreclosure or bank-owned property sales. At 79 State Road, the buyer of record is Midland Funding LLC and Midland Credit Management Inc., entities associated with debt purchasing. At 212 River Road, the sellers listed include Capital One NA and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. The transfer at 2 Grey Oak Lane lists trust representatives as sellers. These patterns are noted from the deed data; no motivation is inferred.
