Duxbury home sales data unavailable for latest reporting period

DUXBURY -- Ten property transfers were recorded in Duxbury between June 26 and July 25, but only three listed a sale price in the deed records, limiting what can be concluded about the broader market this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Ten sales were recorded during the period. Of those, three disclosed a sale price, ranging from $699 to $950, with a median of $920 among the disclosed transactions. These figures are almost certainly recording or indexing artifacts rather than actual market values, as no residential property in Duxbury would transact in that range; the underlying deed data did not include full consideration amounts for review. Because seven of 10 transfers carry no disclosed price, no meaningful conclusion can be drawn about overall price levels or market activity based on dollar figures alone. The volume of 10 recorded transfers is the only reliable indicator of activity for the period.

TOP SALES Among the three transactions with listed prices, 9 Puritan Way sold for $950, with Katherine Rielly as seller and Jonathan Schedlbauer and Samantha Pilicer as buyers. 15 Priscilla Ave sold for $920; sellers were Wanda Doles and Wanda Goldbaum, and buyers were Caroline Drinkwater and Thomas Erickson. 286 North St sold for $699, with sellers Candace Cheatham and Jeffrey Transtamar and buyers James I. Estey and Rebecca L. Ledin. No bed, bath or square footage data was available for any transaction. The remaining seven sales -- at King Caesar Road, Old Cordwood Path, Cushing Drive, North Street (245), Cross Creek Lane, Standish Road and Homestead Place -- had prices not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN North Street saw two transfers in the period: 286 North St ($699, price likely not reflective of market value) and 245 North St (price not disclosed). No other street had more than one recorded sale. The remaining eight properties were spread across King Caesar Road, Old Cordwood Path, Cushing Drive, Puritan Way, Priscilla Avenue, Cross Creek Lane, Standish Road and Homestead Place, showing no other geographic concentration.

MARKET NOTES Several transactions in this period appear to be transfers within families or into trusts rather than open-market sales. These include Old Cordwood Path (George O. Fontaine Jr. to Fontaine and Doubleday as trustees), Standish Road (Jonathan Bitting to Bitting and Delassandro as trustees), and Homestead Place (Michael and Katharine Jorgensen to themselves as trustees). Cushing Drive and Cross Creek Lane also involved trustee buyers or sellers. No sale price was disclosed for any of these trust-related transfers, consistent with typical practice for intra-family or estate-planning transactions. Property types could not be determined from the available data, as no unit counts, condo designations, or structure types were included in the deed records.
