First Street Home Tops Brockton Sales at $835,000 in September

BROCKTON -- Ten property transfers recorded at the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10 included six sales with prices on record and four transfers for nominal consideration, with a First Street property fetching the period's top price of $835,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW Six of the 10 recorded transfers carried a market sale price, ranging from $265,000 to $835,000, with a median sale price of $467,500. The remaining four transfers were recorded for nominal consideration, meaning no market price applies to those transactions. With only six priced sales over a roughly one-month window, the period reflects limited but not unusual recording volume for Brockton; the data does not support characterizing the pace as especially active or quiet without a prior-period comparison.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction was 15 First St., which sold for $835,000 on Sept. 14. Esther O. Onochie and Okey Onochie sold the property to Carlos Carino. The second-highest sale was 36 Macy Ave., which sold for $585,000 on Sept. 14; Macy Ave LLC sold to Guilhermina Cruz and Matias V. Cruz. At $475,000, 34 Nancy Ln. sold Sept. 11, with RST Holding Co Inc. selling to Ventures LLC. Two properties tied at $460,000: 99 Alger St., sold Sept. 15 by Gregory K. Burt to Ridgemont Contracting Inc., and 72 Verne St., sold Sept. 11 by Arrington R. Parker Jr. and Rosalind S. Parker to Marie M. Leonard. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed data for any of these properties.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in this period produced more than one priced sale, so no street-level clustering emerged. By price tier, four of the six priced sales fell under $500,000: 790 Warren Ave. at $265,000, 99 Alger St. and 72 Verne St. both at $460,000, and 34 Nancy Ln. at $475,000. Two sales fell in the $500,000-to-$1 million range: 36 Macy Ave. at $585,000 and 15 First St. at $835,000. No sale in the period exceeded $1 million.

MARKET NOTES Corporate and LLC entities appeared on both sides of several transactions: Ridgemont Contracting Inc. bought 99 Alger St., Macy Ave LLC sold 36 Macy Ave., Oliveira Investment Inc. and Live Like Billy LLC sold 790 Warren Ave., and RST Holding Co Inc. sold to Ventures LLC on Nancy Lane. The data does not indicate whether these entities are investors, builders or other business types.

Four transfers in the period were recorded for nominal consideration rather than a market price, and in each case the grantor and grantee share a surname or trust designation: 239 Boylston St. (Fernando Alves and Maria Alves to Maria Alves and Fernando Alves), 116 Bishop St. (Jean S. Meritil and Marie F. Meritil to Jean S. Meritil TR and Marie F. Meritil TR), 52 Huntington Ave. (Anwar Mahajna to Anwar Mahajna TR and the Anwar Mahajna Revocable Trust), and 199 Belair St. (Sheila M. Forde and Sheila Forde to Merrick O. Forde and Sheila M. Forde). These patterns are consistent with transfers within the same family or into a trust, though the data does not indicate the reason for each transfer. No condominium or multi-family property type was identified in the data; property type was not specified in the deed records reviewed.
