Only One Of Nine West Brookfield Deeds Discloses June-July Sale Price

WEST BROOKFIELD -- West Brookfield recorded nine property deed transfers between June 26 and July 25, but only one — a $265,000 sale on Birch Street — included a disclosed sale price, leaving most of the period's recorded transactions undocumented in dollar terms.

MARKET OVERVIEW Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show nine transactions recorded in West Brookfield during the period. Of those, only one disclosed a sale price: $265,000, recorded June 30 for 22 Birch St. With just one price on record, the price range and median both stand at $265,000. Eight of the nine recorded deeds carried no disclosed consideration, which is common in deed records but leaves most of the period's transaction values unknown. The volume of nine recorded deeds does not by itself indicate whether the period was active or quiet, since the count includes transfers such as mortgage-related assignments, a utility transfer and a tax-title action in addition to conventional owner-to-buyer sales.

TOP SALES 22 Birch St sold for $265,000, recorded June 30. The seller was listed as Elise R. Reed; the buyer was United Wholesale Mortgage LLC, with Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. also named on the deed. No other transaction in the period disclosed a sale price. Other deeds recorded during the period, listed here without price: 117 Shea Rd, transferred June 30 from the White Family Revocable Living Trust to Neil E. White; 3 Old Wickaboag Valley Rd, transferred June 30 with PHH Home Loans LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. named as sellers; 104 North Main St, transferred June 29 from Donna M. Paolucci to the West Brookfield Town Treasurer; and 389 West Main St Unit 1, transferred June 26 from Appleton Grove LLC to High Cotton Capital LLC.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN West Main Street had two recorded transfers in the period: 389 West Main St and 389 West Main St Unit 1, both recorded June 26, representing the main property and a condominium unit at the same address. No other street had more than one recorded transfer. Remaining transactions were spread across Birch Street, Shea Road, Old Wickaboag Valley Road, North Main Street, Stagecoach Road and East Main Street, plus one entry recorded without a specific street address in West Brookfield. Because only one sale disclosed a price, transactions cannot be meaningfully grouped by price tier this period.

MARKET NOTES The nine recorded deeds were not uniformly conventional owner-to-buyer sales. Two transfers named Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. alongside a mortgage lender — United Wholesale Mortgage LLC on the Birch Street deed and PHH Home Loans LLC on the Old Wickaboag Valley Road deed — among the parties. One transfer listed Massachusetts Electric Co. and Verizon New England Inc. as buyer, with no street address given in the data, consistent with a utility-related filing rather than a home sale. One transfer moved 117 Shea Rd from the White Family Revocable Living Trust to an individual with the same surname, a within-family trust transfer; the data does not indicate the reason for the transfer. One transfer, 104 North Main St, listed the West Brookfield Town Treasurer as grantee. One transfer, 389 West Main St Unit 1, was a condominium unit transaction between two limited liability companies, Appleton Grove LLC and High Cotton Capital LLC. Four deeds — 70 Stagecoach Rd, 132 East Main St, 389 West Main St and one entry with no street address listed — named only a seller in the available data, with no buyer recorded.
