Orange Median Sale Price Hits $347,500 Amid Sparse June Price Disclosure

ORANGE -- A Drew Boulevard sale at $518,000 stood as the period's top transaction as the Franklin County Registry of Deeds logged 12 Orange property transfers between June 12 and July 11, 2026, with institutional and governmental sellers accounting for a significant share of the activity.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The 12 recorded deeds represent a modest level of filing activity for the period. Of those transfers, only three carried disclosed sale prices, limiting the data available for meaningful market analysis. Among the three disclosed transactions, prices ranged from $40,000 to $518,000, with a median of $347,500. The nine remaining deeds were filed without stated consideration. Several of the undisclosed transfers involved banks, mortgage servicers, a federal agency, or a municipal board as grantor, suggesting a portion of the period's recorded activity falls outside the conventional owner-to-buyer residential market. With fewer than one in three deeds carrying a price, the dataset does not support a reliable characterization of overall market conditions in Orange for the period.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction of the period was 188 Drew Blvd., which sold for $518,000 on June 15. Kevin Smith and Gay Lilja purchased the property from Romeo J. LeBlanc and Ricky J. LeBlanc.

A condominium unit at 113 New Athol Road — Unit 35 within Pioneer Place Condominiums — sold for $347,500, also recorded June 15. Andrea C. Goodreau purchased the unit from Jean M. Smith, who is listed alongside Pioneer Place Condo as grantor in the deed.

The third disclosed-price transfer, recorded June 15, shows a $40,000 conveyance from Virginia Realty Inc. to MEK Enterprises Inc. No street address was associated with that parcel in the registry data.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Two deed entries reference Dexter Street. At 9 Dexter St., Wells Fargo Bank NA and Freedom Mortgage Corp. appear as sellers, with no buyer or consideration listed in the available data; the deed was recorded June 15. At 37 Dexter St., Michael Farias is the seller of record, also June 15, with no stated price or buyer identified. Two entries also reference 113 New Athol Road: in addition to the Unit 35 condo sale at $347,500, a separate deed at the street address lists Andrea C. Goodreau as seller without a price or buyer indicated, filed the same date as her purchase of Unit 35 and possibly reflecting a related mortgage instrument. On Tully Road, 336 Tully Road was recorded June 15 with Nicholas and Meghan Taylor listed as sellers; no buyer or price was disclosed. The remaining transfers — 30 Perry Road, 44 Moss Brook Road, 50 Meadow Lane, 400 East River Street, and 305 Pinehill Road — were each recorded individually with no price and, in most cases, no street-level clustering.

MARKET NOTES

At least four of the 12 deeds list a mortgage servicer or financial institution as grantor. Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing and NewRez LLC sold 30 Perry Road to Daniel R. Younkin; Wells Fargo Bank NA and Freedom Mortgage Corp. filed on 9 Dexter St. with no buyer listed; CrossCountry Mortgage LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. conveyed 44 Moss Brook Road to the buyer identified in the deed as Richard Trevor Darrell; and MCLP Asset Co. Inc., acting through Meridian Asset Services LLC, filed on 305 Pinehill Road with no buyer listed. None of the four carried a disclosed price. Such transactions in deed records are commonly associated with lender-owned or foreclosure-related dispositions, though deed data alone does not establish that in any individual case.

Two additional transfers reflect non-market activity. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development sold 50 Meadow Lane to Marc Ostberg, recorded June 12; HUD-held properties typically originate from federally insured mortgage defaults. The Orange Board of Selectmen transferred 400 East River St. to Massachusetts Electric Co., also June 12; a municipal-to-utility conveyance of that kind does not reflect open-market pricing and is not considered a residential sale for market-analysis purposes.
