Wendell Deed Filings Show One Disclosed Price Among Nine June–July Recordings

WENDELL -- Nine deed recordings filed with the Franklin County Registry of Deeds between June 17 and July 2, 2026, reflect a period of limited conventional market activity, with only one transaction carrying a disclosed consideration amount and several entries involving institutional parties rather than individual buyers and sellers.

MARKET OVERVIEW Of nine recorded deeds in the period, just one — at 1 Elm St. — listed a consideration amount, $348,570. Because only a single transaction carries a price, no meaningful price range or median can be calculated for the period. Readers and market observers should note that several of the nine recordings appear to reflect non-arm's-length transfers: deeds tied to municipal tax activity, bank or credit-union conveyances, a utility-company acquisition, and a housing authority transfer. The period cannot be characterized as active or quiet for conventional residential sales on the basis of this data alone.

TOP SALES The sole transaction with a disclosed consideration amount was at 1 Elm St., where Chantelle and Nicholas Duprey are listed as sellers. The recorded consideration is $348,570; however, the grantees are identified in the deed record as HMA Mortgage and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., entities associated with mortgage lending rather than property ownership transfer. Readers should note that a recorded consideration in a mortgage instrument typically reflects loan proceeds rather than a market sale price.

The remaining eight entries carried no disclosed sale price. Notable among them: 274 Locks Village Rd., where North Brookfield Savings Bank conveyed the property to Michael J. Award and Jennifer A. Caron; and 351 Farley Rd., where the Franklin County Regional Housing Authority transferred the property to Lawrence H. and Sandra Marlowe. At 281 Jennison Rd., Janice R. Doubleday conveyed the property to Niles Bowen Doubleday and Ayla Jan Skorupa, a transfer involving parties sharing a surname consistent with a family conveyance, though the deed record does not specify the nature of the transfer.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street recorded more than one transaction during the period. Addresses were spread across eight distinct roads: Elm St., Kentfield Rd., Locks Village Rd., Jennison Rd., Wendell Depot Rd., Bear Mountain Rd., Farley Rd., and West St. No geographic concentration or street-level clustering is evident in this dataset.

MARKET NOTES The mix of grantor types in this period is notable: two entries list the town of Wendell (identified as Wendell Town Taxes and Wendell Town Treasurer) as a grantor or party, suggesting tax-related conveyances; one lists a credit union and mortgage servicer as sellers at 1 Kentfield Rd.; one lists a savings bank; one lists a utility company (Massachusetts Electric Co. and Verizon New England Inc.) as buyers at 222 Wendell Depot Rd., indicating a likely easement or right-of-way recording rather than a residential transfer; and one involves a regional housing authority. The prevalence of institutional parties limits what this recording period reveals about Wendell's private residential market. Two entries — the no-address entry with Wendell Town Taxes as grantor and the 41 Bear Mountain Rd. entry listing T Bank and Rachel Stevens as sellers — do not include a named buyer in the available data.
