Bridgewater's disclosed home sales span $301 to $930 in late July

BRIDGEWATER -- Eleven property deeds were recorded in Bridgewater between July 17 and Aug. 15, according to Plymouth County Registry of Deeds data. Only six of those transactions listed a sale price, with the disclosed amounts ranging from $301 to $930 and a median of $680.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 11 deed transfers in the four-week period. Of those, six disclosed a consideration amount, ranging from $301 to $930, with a median sale price of $680. The remaining five transfers did not list a price, which is common for deed records and, in this dataset, corresponded with transfers among family members or into trusts. Eleven recorded deeds over four weeks represents a modest but steady pace of activity for the town; the raw count alone does not indicate whether this is higher or lower than surrounding periods, since no prior-period data was provided for comparison.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was 17 Hewitson Way, which sold for $930. The seller was Duxburrow Estates LLC, and the buyers were Arun K. Bhaskaran and Jomole Varghese. At 82 Concetta Dr., the property sold for $750; Ronald J. Doherty and Ronald Doherty were the sellers, and Bryanna and Jermaine Tate were the buyers. The sale at 12 Rainbow Cir. brought $735; Ryan Patrick Neary and Ahsley Elise Neary sold to Patrick Toohey and Victoria Defilippo. At 376 East St., the property sold for $625, with Cherylann Roy as seller and Alyssa Alden and Jeffrey Macdonald as buyers. Rounding out the top five, 391 W Pond St. sold for $565; Barbara I. Marini and Johnny Pagan sold to Kevin Joseph Pappadopoulos.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street in the dataset had more than one recorded sale, so no street-level clustering emerged this period. Grouped by price tier among the six disclosed sales: two sold for under $600 (391 W Pond St. at $565 and 630 Main St. at $301); three sold between $600 and $800 (376 East St. at $625, 12 Rainbow Cir. at $735, and 82 Concetta Dr. at $750); and one sold for more than $800 (17 Hewitson Way at $930). The five transfers without a disclosed price were spread across Birch Street, Wildwood Place, Spruce Street, Plymouth Street and one deed recorded without a specific street address.

MARKET NOTES

All five deed transfers that did not disclose a sale price involved parties with matching or related last names, consistent with family or trust transfers rather than arm's-length sales. That includes a transfer of 92 Birch St. from Martin H. Grossman and Ina S. Kessler to themselves as trustees; a transfer of 65 Wildwood Pl. from Lawrence S. Ledin and Karen E. Ledin to themselves as trustees; a transfer of 380 Spruce St. from Ronald W. Harris to Mason Harris; a transfer of 1213 Plymouth St. from James Devlin to James Devlin and Holly Marie Devlin; and a transfer recorded without a street address from Robert E. McConnell to Robert E. McConnell and Leigh E. Kelepouris as trustee. The lowest disclosed sale, $301 for 630 Main St., involved a seller listed as HSBC Bank USA N.A., as trustee, by attorney, with Hue Pham as buyer, a pattern consistent with a bank-held property sale. Deed records in this dataset do not include bedroom, bathroom or square-footage figures, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made. Because five of 11 transfers did not disclose a price, the disclosed-price figures above reflect just over half of the period's recorded activity and should be read with that limitation in mind.
