Leicester deed data shows just one of seven June sales with disclosed price

LEICESTER -- Seven property transfers recorded at the Worcester County Registry of Deeds between June 26 and July 25 show only one disclosed sale price, limiting what the public record reveals about the town's market this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Seven deeds were recorded in Leicester during the period, but only one listed a sale price: $450,000. With six of seven transfers carrying no disclosed consideration, the price range and median both stand at $450,000 based on that single figure, and neither can be considered representative of the broader market. The raw count of seven recorded deeds in a one-month span is consistent with ordinary transaction volume for a town of Leicester's size, though the near-total absence of price data makes it impossible to characterize the period as active or quiet in dollar terms.

TOP SALES The lone disclosed sale was an unaddressed Leicester property that sold for $450,000 on June 29. The sellers were Brian Carpenter and Juliana Carpenter; the buyer was Cornerstone Bank. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available in the deed record. The remaining six transactions recorded during the period carried no disclosed sale price: - 591 Henshaw St., sold June 29, seller Michelle A. Salsman and Mark S. Salsman, price not disclosed. - 235 River St., sold June 29, seller Jonathan David Hutchinson and Colleen Hutchinson, price not disclosed. - 1037 Main St., sold June 29, sellers Country Bank for Savings and Rosemary Wolanski, trustee, price not disclosed. - 103 Huntoon Memorial Highway, sold June 26, seller Edward Lizewski and Valerie Lizewski, price not disclosed. - 7 Burncoat Lane, sold June 26, sellers Linda M. Gaudet and Cornerstone Bank, price not disclosed. - 102 River St., sold June 26, seller Bruce D. MacLeod, price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Two of the seven recorded transfers were on River Street -- 235 River St. and 102 River St. -- both closing within the same week, June 26-29. No other street had more than one recorded transfer during the period. With only one price disclosed across all seven deeds, a price-tier breakdown is not meaningful this month.

MARKET NOTES Cornerstone Bank appears as a party on two of the seven deeds -- as buyer in the $450,000 Carpenter sale and as a co-seller on the 7 Burncoat Lane transfer -- indicating bank involvement in roughly a quarter of the period's recorded transactions. The 1037 Main St. deed lists Rosemary Wolanski as trustee alongside Country Bank for Savings, marking one trust-related transfer among the seven filings. No condominium or multi-family designations appeared in the available data, and no square-footage figures were provided for any of the seven properties, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made this period.
