Worthington's only priced sale this period set at $763,750

WORTHINGTON -- Hampshire County Registry of Deeds records show eight property transactions recorded for Worthington between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3, but only one carried a sale price by the time records were pulled, underscoring the lag between when a deed is recorded and when its consideration amount appears in county data.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Eight deeds were recorded in Worthington during the period. Of those, only one, the Sept. 23 transfer of 494 Kinne Brook Rd, had a sale price on file: $763,750. Because it is the only priced transaction, that figure also stands as both the low and high end of the range and the median. The remaining seven transactions are recorded without a consideration amount, which typically means the price has not yet reached the registry's data rather than any withholding by the parties involved. With price data available for just one of eight deeds, the raw count alone does not support a conclusion about whether the period was active or quiet; a fuller picture should emerge as prices post in the coming days.

TOP SALES

494 Kinne Brook Rd sold for $763,750 on Sept. 23. The seller was listed as Timothy K. Lake, trustee, and the Antonia P. Lake Trust; the buyers were Eliza B. Lake and Bartholomew Niswonger. No other transaction in this period has a recorded price, so no additional sales can be ranked by price at this time.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Old Post Rd accounted for two of the eight recorded deeds: 130 Old Post Rd (Sept. 28) and 280 Old Post Rd (Sept. 10), both price not yet available. The remaining six transactions were spread across individual streets: Cudworth Rd, Kinne Brook Rd, a Worthington parcel listed without a street address, Brown Hill Rd, Old North Rd and Goss Hill Rd, one deed each. Because only one of the eight deeds carries a price, a breakdown by price tier is not possible for this period.

MARKET NOTES

The eight recorded deeds reflect a mix of transaction types beyond conventional sales. Two, at 2 Cudworth Rd and 44 Goss Hill Rd, were declarations of homestead rather than transfers of ownership. One, at 130 Old Post Rd, was a disclaimer filed in connection with the estate of Sue A. Henning. Two transactions involved estates or personal representatives as sellers: 32 Brown Hill Rd, where the Dona Elaine Martin estate transferred the property to Herbert C. Bergquist, trustee of the Herbert C. Bergquist Revocable Trust, and 280 Old Post Rd, where the Grant M. Knapp estate transferred the property to Joanne M. Blocker and Brenda L. Brodrick. A parcel listed only as "Worthington, MA" passed from the Antonia P. Lake Trust to the town of Worthington. And 17 Old North Rd was transferred from Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. to Cai Walkowiak. No bed, bath or square-footage data accompanies any of these records, and no property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) is specified in the deed data provided.
