Only one of seven Whately deeds this period discloses a sale price

WHATELY -- Seven property transfers were recorded in Whately during the period from June 19 to July 18, 2026, but only one deed disclosed a sale price, limiting what the data shows about the local market.

MARKET OVERVIEW Seven transfers were recorded at the Franklin County Registry of Deeds during the period. Only one of the seven, or 14 percent, included a disclosed consideration amount. That single disclosed sale was $20,000, at 170 Chestnut Plain Rd. Because six of seven prices were not disclosed, a meaningful price range or median for the broader market cannot be calculated from this data set; the $20,000 figure reflects one transaction, not typical market activity. The raw count of seven recorded deeds indicates a period of activity, though whether that represents high or low volume relative to other months cannot be determined from this data alone.

TOP SALES The only transaction with a disclosed price was 170 Chestnut Plain Rd, which sold for $20,000 on July 17. The seller was listed as Gary Richard Kloc (also recorded as Gary R Kloc), and the buyer was Florence Bank. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record.

The remaining six recorded transfers did not include disclosed sale prices: 108 North St (sold July 8, seller Florence Bank/Florence Savings Bank, buyer Donald F. Wheelock and Anne Hunter Wheelock); 147 Westbrook Rd (sold June 30, seller Florence Bank/Florence Savings Bank, buyer Michael and Montserrat Archbald); 45 Poplar Hill Rd (sold June 24, seller Florence Bank/Florence Savings Bank, buyer Gabriel A. and Elizabeth B. Cooney); 67 Westbrook Rd (sold June 29, seller Riina M. Viise, trustee of the Riina M. Viise Revocable Trust; no buyer listed in the record); 32 Masterson Rd (sold June 25, seller Sharon A. Kieras, buyer Leanne M. Kieras); and an unaddressed Whately parcel (sold July 7, seller Lyme Quabbin LLC, buyer Whately Town Assessors). Per deed-record conventions, these six are reported as price not disclosed rather than estimated.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Westbrook Road accounted for two of the seven transfers in the period -- 67 Westbrook Rd and 147 Westbrook Rd -- the only street to appear more than once in the data set. The remaining five transfers were spread across five different locations: Chestnut Plain Road, North Street, Masterson Road, Poplar Hill Road and one parcel recorded without a street address. With pricing disclosed for only one of seven sales, a breakdown by price tier is not possible for this period.

MARKET NOTES Florence Bank (recorded variously as Florence Bank and Florence Savings Bank) appeared in four of the seven recorded transfers: as grantor in three sales (108 North St, 147 Westbrook Rd and 45 Poplar Hill Rd) and as grantee in one (170 Chestnut Plain Rd). That concentration means more than half of the period's recorded deeds involved the bank on one side of the transaction. Two transfers in the data set were between family members or related parties rather than open-market buyers: the Masterson Road deed moved from Sharon A. Kieras to Leanne M. Kieras, and the Westbrook Road deed at 67 Westbrook Rd was recorded from Riina M. Viise to her own revocable trust. One transfer, the unaddressed parcel from Lyme Quabbin LLC to the Whately Town Assessors, involved a municipal buyer rather than a private one. No sale price was disclosed for any of these four transactions, and the deed data provided does not include property type, square footage or bedroom/bathroom counts, so no per-square-foot or property-type comparisons can be made this period.
