Worthington Deed Filings Show Little Price Data This Period

WORTHINGTON -- Ten deeds were recorded in Worthington between June 26 and July 25, but only one listed a sale price, leaving most of the period's real estate activity undocumented in dollar terms.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Hampshire County Registry of Deeds recorded 10 property transfers involving Worthington addresses during the period. Of those, only one — the June 26 transfer of 0 Huntington Road — disclosed a sale price, $200,000. Because that is the sole disclosed figure, it also serves as both the low and high end of the price range and the median. Nine of the 10 recorded transfers carried no consideration amount, which is common for certain deed types but means the overall price range and median reported here reflect a single transaction, not the broader market. On raw volume alone, 10 recorded deeds in a four-week span is a notable amount of activity for a town the size of Worthington, though the scarcity of price data makes it impossible to say whether values are rising, falling, or holding steady.

TOP SALES 0 Huntington Road sold for $200,000 on June 26. The sellers were Chester and Susan Kellogg; the buyer was Donald Chase. It is the only transaction in the period with a disclosed price.

313 Kinne Brook Road transferred July 3 from Florence Bank to Jessica Siersma. Price not disclosed.

1054 Old North Road transferred July 14 from Clean Energy Federal Credit Union to Robert Reinke and Robert K. Reinke. Price not disclosed.

An unspecified Worthington property transferred July 15 from the Town of Worthington to Robert B. Dudas. Price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The 10 transfers occurred on 10 different streets — Parish Road, Old North Road, Old Post Road, River Road, Kinne Brook Road, Scott Road, Brown Hill Road, Huntington Road, West Street, plus one unaddressed Worthington parcel — so no street or neighborhood cluster emerged this period. A price-tier breakdown is not meaningful for nine of the 10 transactions since no sale price was disclosed. The single disclosed sale, $200,000 for 0 Huntington Road, falls under the $500,000 mark.

MARKET NOTES Beyond the one conventional-looking sale, several recorded transfers point to non-market activity. Florence Bank and Clean Energy Federal Credit Union appear as sellers on the Kinne Brook Road and Old North Road deeds, and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (MERS) is listed as seller on the Scott Road transfer to New American Funding LLC and Broker Solutions Inc. — patterns consistent with lender-related or post-foreclosure transfers rather than open-market sales. Trust and estate activity also appears: the Brown Hill Road property was held by the Mary Harrington Revocable Trust, the West Street property by Michael T. Barbehenn as trustee, and the Old Post Road property involved the estate of Laurette S. Lemrise. Three entries — a Declaration of Homestead on West Street, a Judgment Satisfied notice on River Road, and an Affidavit Regarding Estate Tax on Old Post Road — are recorded instruments rather than named buyers, reflecting the mix of document types the registry captures alongside sales. No bed, bath, or square-footage data was available for any property, so no price-per-square-foot comparison could be made, and no property type (single-family, condo, multi-family) was specified in the deed data.
