MARKET OVERVIEW

Nine of the 12 recorded deeds reflect completed sales with a price on file; the remaining three are nominal-consideration transfers, not market sales. Among the nine priced sales, prices ranged from $49,900 to $1,052,500, with a median of $640,000. Based on the raw count, nine priced sales over a roughly four-week span is a moderate level of recorded activity for the town; it is neither a large nor a negligible number of transactions for the period.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was a $1,052,500 sale in East Bridgewater from seller Adga Realty LLC to buyer Newcomb Realty LLC; the deed record did not include a specific street address. The second-highest sale was 859 Union St., which sold for $860,000, with Joseph J. and Nicole C. Howley selling to Thomas Edward and Luann Bodio. Third was 40 Water St., which sold for $710,000, with Thomas E. and Luann Bodio selling to Brian Gosnell Jr. Rounding out the top five: 1044 Plymouth St. sold for $649,000, with Peter T. and Kathryn B.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street had more than one priced sale this period, so sales are grouped by price tier. Under $500,000: three sales, at 0 Sandra Dr. ($49,900), 0 River Rd. Ext. ($140,000) and 369 Washington St. ($285,000).
