Charlton Sale Prices Span $2,500 to $550,000 Amid Sparse Disclosure Data

CHARLTON -- Eleven deed transfers were recorded in Charlton between June 19 and July 18, but only two carried a disclosed sale price, according to Worcester County Registry of Deeds records, limiting what can be said about the town's June housing market.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 11 property transfers in the period. Of those, only two listed a consideration amount: $550,000 and $2,500, giving a full disclosed range of $2,500 to $550,000 and a midpoint of $276,250 between the two figures. With price data available for just 2 of 11 transfers, that midpoint should not be read as a representative median for the broader group. The raw count of 11 recorded transfers is not compared here to prior periods, since no baseline figures were provided.

TOP SALES

102 City Depot Rd sold for $550,000 on June 23, the only sale in the period above $500,000. The property transferred from seller Donna M. Bibber to buyer Robert F. Lemansky, trustee of Lare Realty Trust. A second transfer, recorded at an unspecified Charlton address on June 23, carried a disclosed price of $2,500; sellers Alexandro Rodriguez and McKenzie Belanger transferred the property to buyer Karen G. Fierro. The remaining nine transfers recorded in the period -- at 186 Burlingame Rd, 20 Hollywood Dr, 62 Bond Rd, 279 Stafford St, 191 Freeman Rd, 82 City Depot Rd, 193 Freeman Rd, 185 Nugget Dr and 39 Carpenter Hill Rd -- had no disclosed sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

City Depot Road had two transfers in the period, at 102 City Depot Rd (price disclosed, $550,000) and 82 City Depot Rd (price not disclosed). Freeman Road also had two transfers, at 191 Freeman Rd and 193 Freeman Rd, both price not disclosed. The remaining seven transfers were spread across single addresses on Burlingame Road, Hollywood Drive, Bond Road, Stafford Street, Nugget Drive and Carpenter Hill Road, with no further street-level clustering.

MARKET NOTES

Two of the 11 transfers named Charlton Town Conservation as buyer: 186 Burlingame Rd, transferred from seller Nelson Burlingame, and 82 City Depot Rd, transferred from seller Richard Menard III. Both are price not disclosed. The two Freeman Road transfers involved sellers sharing the Stelmach surname -- Henry P. Stelmach III and Sarah Jane Stelmach at 191 Freeman Rd, and Henry P. Stelmach Jr. and Sherry L. Stelmach at 193 Freeman Rd -- a family-name pattern the deed data does not explain further. At 20 Hollywood Dr, the seller of record is Alfred R. Morin Jr., trustee, transferring to Alfred R. Morin Jr. individually, consistent with a trust-related transfer. Three other transfers involved banks or mortgage-servicing entities as seller, buyer or both: 279 Stafford St (Capital One NA to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank NA), 185 Nugget Dr (Daniel J. Vieira to Santander Bank NA), and 39 Carpenter Hill Rd (Wells Fargo Bank NA to Freedom Mortgage Corp.), all price not disclosed. No square footage, bedroom, bathroom or property-type data accompanied any of the 11 records, so no per-square-foot or property-type comparison is possible this period.
