Only One of 11 Bolton Property Transfers Discloses a Sale Price

BOLTON -- Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show 11 property transfers in Bolton recorded between June 19 and July 18, but only one of them included a disclosed sale price, limiting what the data shows about the town's overall market.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eleven deeds were recorded in Bolton during the period. Of those, one disclosed a sale price: $101,650, recorded June 24 for a property listed only as "Bolton, MA" with no street address given in the deed. Because only one of 11 transactions included a price, the $101,650 figure represents both the low and high end of the disclosed range and is also the median — it is not representative of typical sale prices in town during this period. The raw count of 11 recorded transfers indicates deed activity was ongoing, but with pricing disclosed in just one instance, the data does not support a broader conclusion about whether the market was active or quiet in dollar terms.

TOP SALES The lone disclosed sale, at $101,650, closed June 24. The deed lists sellers Erin A. Dufour and Sheila S. O'Connell and buyers Newrez LLC and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc.; the registry did not list a street address for this parcel. No other transaction in this period included a consideration amount, so no additional sales can be ranked by price. The remaining 10 transfers are described by address and party in the neighborhood breakdown below, with "price not disclosed" reported for each.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Two streets had multiple recorded transfers this period. Sanders Lane saw two: 12 Sanders Lane (East Coast RE Investments LLC to Bolton Hill Estates LLC, June 25) and 6 Sanders Lane (Bolton Hill Estates LLC to Bolton Town Health, June 23). Nashaway Road also saw two: 78 Nashaway Road (Federspiel Nancy Tr. and Federspiel Nancy, June 24) and 100 Nashaway Road (New Fed Mortgage Corp. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., June 23). Berlin Road had two transfers under related addresses: 211 W Berlin Road (Clinton Savings Bank and Schartner Eric J., June 25) and 216 Berlin Road (Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Cardinal Financial Co. LP, June 22). Other recorded transfers with no shared street pattern include 183 Fox Run Road (seller Philbin Michael, June 24), 73 Coventry Wood Road (Martin Michael Tr. and Mabia Family Trust, June 23), 48 Vaughn Hill Road (Stevenson Catharine and Packard Hugh, June 23), and 96 Oak Trail (Steep Lot Realty Trust and Weadock Jessica E. Tr., June 23). None of these 10 transfers disclosed a sale price.

MARKET NOTES Price transparency was limited this period: only one of 11 recorded transfers, or about 9%, included a disclosed consideration amount. Several transfers involved entities rather than individual buyers or sellers, including deeds naming Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (appearing in three separate transfers), New Fed Mortgage Corp., Cardinal Financial Co. LP, and Newrez LLC — parties commonly associated with mortgage assignments or lender-related transactions rather than traditional arm's-length home sales. The 6 Sanders Lane transfer named Bolton Town Health as buyer, a municipal or public-health entity rather than a private individual. At least three transfers involved trusts, including Federspiel Nancy Tr. to Federspiel Nancy, Martin Michael Tr. to the Mabia Family Trust, and Steep Lot Realty Trust to Weadock Jessica E. Tr. Deed records do not indicate the motivation behind these trust transfers. No bed, bath, square footage, or property-type data was available in this dataset, so no price-per-square-foot or housing-type comparisons can be made this period.
