Just one of Brookfield's 14 recorded deeds this month discloses a sale price

BROOKFIELD -- Worcester County Registry of Deeds records show 14 property transfers in Brookfield recorded between June 19 and July 18, but only one of those transactions disclosed a sale price, limiting what the data can show about where local home values stand.

MARKET OVERVIEW Fourteen deeds were recorded in Brookfield during the period. Of those, only one -- the June 26 transfer of 17 Lincoln St. -- included a disclosed consideration amount, $3,450. Because that is the sole priced transaction, the price range ($3,450 to $3,450) and median ($3,450) reflect that single deed rather than a broader market trend. Based on the raw count alone, 14 recorded transfers over the roughly one-month period is the extent of activity the dataset shows; no prior-period figures are included here for comparison, so whether that count represents an active or quiet stretch for Brookfield cannot be determined from this data alone.

TOP SALES The only transaction with a disclosed price was 17 Lincoln St., which sold for $3,450 on June 26. The deed lists Diane Brown (also recorded as Diane E. Brown) as seller and Midland Funding LLC, a debt-purchasing company, as buyer. No bed, bath or square-footage figures are available from deed records. The remaining 13 transfers in the period did not include a disclosed sale price, so no further price-based ranking is possible from this dataset.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Rice Corner Road accounted for three of the month's 14 recorded deeds: 103 Rice Corner Road (June 24, North Brookfield Savings Bank to Justin Paquette), 144 Rice Corner Road (June 30, Gwendolyn M. Broz, trustee, to Timothy S. Simon, trustee), and 149 Rice Corner Road (June 30, Gwendolyn M. Broz, trustee of the Gwendolyn M. Broz Living Trust, to Gwendolyn M. Broz and Gwen M. Broz). A separate address, 5 Rice Corner Cross Road, also transferred June 25 from Capital One NA to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank NA. No other street had more than one recorded transfer in the period. Because only one deed disclosed a price, sales cannot be meaningfully grouped by price tier this month.

MARKET NOTES Just one of the 14 recorded deeds -- about 7% -- included a disclosed sale price, which limits any price-based analysis for the period. A bank, mortgage servicer or loan-related entity appeared as grantor or grantee in six of the 14 transactions: Cornerstone Bank (91 Webber Rd. and 15 Main St.), Money Source Inc. and Servbank NA (17 South Maple St., to Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC), Capital One NA (5 Rice Corner Cross Rd., to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank NA), North Brookfield Savings Bank (103 Rice Corner Rd.), and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (29 Kimball St., to First Home Mortgage Corp.). Several deeds also reflect transfers within the same family or trust structure without a third-party buyer: the Gwendolyn M. Broz Living Trust transfers at an unlisted Brookfield address and at 149 Rice Corner Road, the transfer at 40 North Brookfield Road from Roy R. Chaplin to Diane M. Chaplin, and the transfer at 16 East Main St. from Todd Lornell, trustee, to Todd Lornell individually. Bed, bath and square-footage data are not available from deed records for any of the 14 transactions, and property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) is not specified in the dataset.
