Whately Deed Sales Post With No Prices Recorded This Period

WHATELY -- The Franklin County Registry of Deeds recorded 13 property transfers in Whately between Aug. 28 and Sept. 26, but sale prices had not yet posted for any of the transactions as of this report. Bank and mortgage-servicer involvement appeared in five of the 13 deeds, while family and trust transfers accounted for several more.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Thirteen deed transfers were recorded in Whately during the period. No consideration amount had posted for any of the 13 transactions, so a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated at this time; that information typically appears in registry records within about a week of recording. Judging by raw count alone, 13 transfers in a four-week span is a notable volume of recorded activity for a town Whately's size, though without price data or a historical baseline for comparison, whether the market itself was active or quiet cannot be determined from this dataset.

TOP SALES

Because no sale prices were available for any transaction this period, transactions cannot be ranked by price. Five deeds involved a bank or mortgage servicer as either grantor or grantee, which is the most notable pattern in the data: Hanscom Federal Credit Union transferred 24 Grey Oak Lane to Jeffrey P. and Kathleen T. Zilch on Sept. 16. Greenfield Savings Bank transferred 92 Masterson Road to Kevin C. Komosa on Sept. 10. Florence Bank and Florence Savings Bank transferred 158 State Road to Sandra L. Mazzacane and Joanne N. Cecchi on Sept. 8. Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC took title to 180 River Road from Angelica Elisabetta Perfido and Marissa Riane Wells on Sept. 1. Rocket Mortgage LLC transferred 170 Chestnut Plain Road to Stephen S. Kloc Jr. on Aug. 31. Sale prices were not yet available for any of these five transactions.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

River Road saw two transfers: 145 River Road, an estate transfer from the estate of Laura Roy to Mischa Roy Epstein as personal representative, recorded Sept. 17; and 180 River Road, the Lakeview Loan Servicing transaction noted above, recorded Sept. 1. State Road also saw two transfers: 146 State Road, where Kyle J. Monahan transferred the property to himself and Susan J. Monahan on Sept. 11, and 158 State Road, the bank-to-buyer sale above, recorded Sept. 8. The remaining nine transfers were spread across individual streets: Long Plain Road, an unspecified Whately address tied to Industrial Drive West LLC, Grey Oak Lane, Masterson Road, Webber Road, Westbrook Road, Haydenville Road, Laurel Mountain Road and Chestnut Plain Road, with no other street-level clustering evident in the data.

MARKET NOTES

Sale prices were absent from all 13 records reviewed for this period, a pattern the registry attributes to normal data-posting timing rather than any withholding by buyers or sellers. Five transfers appear to be family, trust or estate transactions rather than open-market sales: the 145 River Road estate transfer; the 146 State Road transfer adding a second family member to title; a trust transfer at 105 Webber Road from Michael Busa individually and as trustee, with no buyer listed; and two transfers between Richard M. Chamlin and Flora J. Chamlin, individually and as trustees, covering 35 Westbrook Road and 188 Haydenville Road. One transfer, at 21 Laurel Mountain Road, moved from private owner Colette Viadero to the Whately Town Assessors. No beds, baths or square footage figures were available in the deed data for any property, and no condominium or explicitly identified multi-family transfers appeared in the period; one entry, tied to Industrial Drive West LLC with no street address given, may represent a commercial or land parcel.
