Disclosed Kingston sale prices span $300 to $911 in July deeds

KINGSTON -- The Plymouth County Registry of Deeds recorded 10 property transfers in Kingston between July 3 and August 1, but only three carried a disclosed sale price, limiting what the data shows about the town's broader housing market this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten sales were recorded in the period. Of those, three disclosed a sale price, ranging from $300 to $911, with a median of $548. The remaining seven transfers did not include a consideration amount in the deed record. Given that most of the period's transfers lack pricing data and several appear to be transfers within the same family or into trusts rather than open-market sales, the raw count of 10 recorded deeds should not be read as a gauge of market activity on its own.

TOP SALES 2 Morgans Way sold for $911 on July 8. Sellers were Aaron D. Thomas and Toni K. Thomas; buyers were Howard Dakin Hull Jr. and Stacey Felicia Hodges Hull. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed record.

11 Center St sold for $548 on July 15. Sellers were Mark D. Robertson and Trenton I. Robertson; the buyer was Irene A. Dossantos.

59 Howlands Ln sold for $300 on July 7. Sellers were Melissa A. Cordova and Melissa A. Cole; the buyer was Stanley Kelly.

No other transfers in the period disclosed a sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No two sales in the period shared a street name, so no street-level cluster emerged. Among the three disclosed-price sales, one fell under $500 (59 Howlands Ln, $300) and two fell between $500 and $911 (11 Center St and 2 Morgans Way). The seven transfers with no disclosed price were spread across Kingston, MA (no address specified in the record), Winter Street, Kings Grove Lane, Brightside Avenue, Bog View Road, Second Brook Street and Pembroke Street.

MARKET NOTES Seven of the 10 recorded transfers in this period appear to be transfers within the same family or into a trust rather than sales to unrelated buyers, based on matching or closely related grantor and grantee names in the deed data. Examples include Walter C. and Lilian E. Schaff transferring to Walter C. Schaff TR and Lillian E. Schaff TR at 46 Winter St; Matthew P. and Lauren M. Mello transferring to their own trust at 9 Kings Grove Ln; Kenneth and Heidi Maitland transferring to their own trust at 4 Brightside Ave; Peter Phillips transferring to Michelle B. Phillips at 44 Bog View Rd; John L. Spencer, as trustee of Brook Street Realty Trust, transferring to John L. and Cheryl Spencer at 3 Second Brook St; and Marilyn R. Kozodoy transferring to Emily Harrison, trustee of Pembroke Street Realty Trust, at 160 Pembroke St. None of these seven transfers disclosed a sale price. No beds, baths or square footage figures were available in any deed record for this period, so no price-per-square-foot or property-type comparisons can be made.
