Mendon Property Sales Range From $55,000 To $760,000 In Disclosed Deeds

MENDON -- Twelve property transfers were recorded in Mendon between June 19 and July 18, but sale prices were disclosed in only two of them, limiting what can be said about overall market direction this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve deeds were recorded in Mendon during the period. A sale price was disclosed in two of the 12 transactions, ranging from $55,000 to $760,000, with a median of $407,500 across those two disclosed sales. Because price data covers only one-sixth of recorded transfers, the raw count of 12 deeds is the clearest available measure of activity for the period; the data does not support a characterization of the market as active or quiet beyond that count.

TOP SALES Only two deeds included a disclosed sale price, so both are listed here. A property in Mendon, with no street address specified in the deed, sold for $760,000, recorded June 25. Rachel A. Morrison was the seller; Scott A. Webber and Brooke J. Manafo were the buyers. 28 Maple St. sold for $55,000, recorded June 22. Erin Leigh Matson Murdock and Michael John Murdock were the sellers; T Bank and Traders Trust Co. were the buyers. No sale price was disclosed for the remaining 10 transfers recorded during the period.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN By price tier: one sale, 28 Maple St., fell under $500,000 at $55,000. One sale, the Mendon property with no listed street address, exceeded $500,000 at $760,000. The remaining 10 sales -- at 18 Bates St., 28 Wood St., 28 Wood Dr., 2 Massasoit Way, 86 Mowry St., 180 Blackstone St., 12 Cadman Rd., 220 Millville St., 3 Kinsley Ln. and 5 Pleasant St. -- had no disclosed price and cannot be placed in a tier. Rachel A. Morrison was listed as seller on three separate deeds recorded June 25: the $760,000 Mendon sale, 28 Wood St. and 28 Wood Dr., the latter two with price not disclosed. All three were recorded the same day.

MARKET NOTES Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from deed records, so no price-per-sqft comparison or property-type breakdown can be made. Several of the undisclosed-price deeds listed banks or mortgage-related entities as parties without a named buyer of record, including Central One Federal Credit Union (18 Bates St.), Middlesex Savings Bank (12 Cadman Rd.), and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., which appeared on both 3 Kinsley Ln. and 5 Pleasant St. One deed, 180 Blackstone St., recorded a transfer from Wells Fargo Bank NA to Freedom Mortgage Corp. Ten of the 12 deeds recorded this period -- most involving financial institutions or lacking a disclosed buyer -- did not include a sale price.
