Scituate home sales all close above $1 million in late summer period

SCITUATE -- Nine property transfers were recorded in Scituate between Aug. 7 and Sept. 5, with the top sale reaching $2.4 million. Two of the nine transfers were nominal-consideration filings rather than market sales, leaving seven sales with recorded prices for the period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Among the seven sales with recorded prices, prices ranged from $1,005,000 to $2,400,000, with a median sale price of $1,300,000. All seven recorded sales closed above the $1 million mark, which is notable given that the dataset captures roughly a four-week span. Two additional transfers in the dataset carried only nominal consideration and are not reflected in these figures. With nine total recorded transfers, activity for the period reads as moderate based on the raw count alone; no statewide or historical comparison is available in this dataset.

TOP SALES The highest-priced sale was 79 Collier Rd., which sold for $2,400,000 on Aug. 7. The sellers were listed as Carly Andrews and the estate of Kenneth Golden; the buyer was Nordhaven Property Ventures LLC. Beds, baths and square footage were not available from deed records.

The second-highest sale was 28 Vinal Ave., which sold for $2,000,000 on Aug. 12. Vinal Avenue LLC sold the property to Christopher Pope and Emily Pope.

11 Carriage House Way sold for $1,550,000 on Aug. 14. Sellers Bernard Laniel and Johanne Giannuzzi sold to Evan Pare and Meagan Pare.

32 Branch St. sold for $1,300,000 on Aug. 14. Sellers Richard F. Ready and Katherine E. Terrio sold to Quinn Raseman and Amy He.

20 Cudworth Rd. sold for $1,155,000 on Aug. 14. The sellers, Evan Warner Pare and Meagan R. Pare, sold to Paul Lynch and Barbara A. Lynch.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Vinal Avenue saw two separate transfers in the period: 28 Vinal Ave. sold for $2,000,000, while 24 Vinal Ave. changed hands for nominal consideration between Russell E. Paulin and Dorothy L. Niland and trusts bearing their names, a transfer type rather than a market sale. No other street had more than one recorded transaction.

By price tier, four sales fell between $1 million and $1.5 million: 15 Hazel Ave. ($1,005,000), 100 Clapp Rd. ($1,125,000), 20 Cudworth Rd. ($1,155,000) and 32 Branch St. ($1,300,000). Two sales fell between $1.5 million and $2 million: 11 Carriage House Way ($1,550,000) and 28 Vinal Ave. ($2,000,000). One sale topped $2 million: 79 Collier Rd. ($2,400,000).

MARKET NOTES Every recorded sale in the period closed above $1 million, and no sale had a recorded price below seven figures. Two transfers in the dataset, 24 Vinal Ave. and 162 Central Ave., were nominal-consideration filings rather than sales; both moved ownership to parties with matching surnames and "TR" designations, consistent with a trust transfer, though deed records do not state a reason. Notably, Evan and Meagan Pare appear on both sides of the market in this dataset: they bought 11 Carriage House Way for $1,550,000 and sold 20 Cudworth Rd. for $1,155,000 within the same recording window. Similarly, Emily Pope was a seller at 100 Clapp Rd. and a buyer at 28 Vinal Ave. Bed, bath and square-footage data were not available for any property in this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons could be calculated. Deed records do not specify property type for any transfer, so no single-family, condominium or multi-family breakdown can be reported.
