Lone Disclosed Upton Sale Reaches $749,000 in Late July

UPTON -- Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show eight property transfers in Upton between July 10 and August 8, but only one deed disclosed a sale price, limiting what can be said about the town's overall price trends this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eight deeds were recorded in Upton during the period. Of those, one included a disclosed consideration amount: $749,000. The remaining seven transactions did not list a sale price, which the registry data notes is normal for deed records. Because only one price was disclosed, the reported price range and median, both $749,000, reflect that single transaction rather than a broad market sample. Four deeds were recorded July 10 and four were recorded July 13, indicating no unusual clustering of activity within the period.

TOP SALES The only transaction with a disclosed price was an Upton property that sold for $749,000 on July 13. The sellers were Michael and Grace Maneri; the buyers were Nicholas and Abigail Tancrede. The deed record for this sale did not include a specific street address.

The remaining seven recorded transactions did not disclose a sale price and cannot be ranked by value: - 3 Howarth Dr., sold July 13, seller Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Quicken Loans LLC. - 11 Mendon St., sold July 13, sellers Sean and Jasmine Duffy. - 69 Warren St., sold July 13, sellers Michael and Grace Maneri. - 69 Mechanic St., sold July 10, seller Sandra Mae Lajoie, trustee, and the Sandra Lajoie Family Trust. - 126 South St., sold July 10, seller Donald J. Gillis and Donald J. Gillis, trustee. - 74 High St., sold July 10, sellers Michael and Steva Shea. - 11 Tyler Rd., sold July 10, sellers Tammi Ann Charron, trustee, and Christopher Scott Charron, trustee.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The eight recorded transactions spanned seven different streets, Howarth Drive, Mendon Street, Warren Street, Mechanic Street, South Street, High Street and Tyler Road, plus one deed listing only a general Upton address. No single street had more than one recorded transaction, so no street-level concentration emerged in this period's data.

MARKET NOTES Michael and Grace Maneri appear as sellers in two separate deeds recorded the same day, July 13: the $749,000 sale with no listed street address and the 69 Warren St. transaction, which did not disclose a price. The registry data does not indicate whether these are related to the same property.

Three of the eight transactions involved a trust as seller or co-seller: the Sandra Lajoie Family Trust at 69 Mechanic St., Donald J. Gillis in his individual and trustee capacities at 126 South St., and Tammi Ann and Christopher Scott Charron as trustees at 11 Tyler Rd. These are transfers within existing family or individual trust structures; the data does not indicate the reason for each transfer.

The 3 Howarth Dr. deed lists Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and Quicken Loans LLC as seller, which reflects a mortgage-related filing rather than a typical transfer between individual buyers and sellers.

Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures were not available in the deed records reviewed for this period and are omitted.
