Median Sale Price Hits $643,250 Amid Light August Transaction Volume

EAST BRIDGEWATER -- Nine property transfers were recorded in East Bridgewater during the period July 31 through August 29, but only four carried a disclosed sale price, with the top transaction reaching $750,000 on Bedford Street.

MARKET OVERVIEW Nine deeds were recorded in the period. Of those, four show a recorded sale price, ranging from $49,900 to $750,000, with a median of $643,250. The other five were nominal-consideration transfers, recorded for amounts under $10,000, and are not counted in the price range or median. With only four market-rate sales recorded, the period reflects a quiet stretch for priced transactions in town; additional prices for recent deeds sometimes arrive within about a week of recording and were not yet available for this dataset.

TOP SALES 541 Bedford St sold for $750,000 on Aug. 6. The sellers were Michael W. O'Farrell and Katie R. O'Farrell; the buyer was Herbert Heinz Stelzer. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed record.

1044 Plymouth St sold for $649,000 on July 31. Sellers Peter T. Oakley and Kathryn B. Oakley transferred the property to buyers Edward A. Wronski and Jessica L. Wronski.

132 Pine St sold for $637,500 on Aug. 7. Sellers Matthew MacFadzen and Kathleen MacFadzen transferred the property to buyers Shannon Dawson and Cameron Amaral.

0 Sandra Dr sold for $49,900 on Aug. 3. The seller was Peter T. Oakley, trustee of K Realty Trust; the buyer was Robert M. Wronski, trustee of W R J Realty Trust.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Three of the four priced sales, on Bedford Street, Plymouth Street and Pine Street, fell above $500,000, while the Sandra Drive transfer was well below that threshold at $49,900. No single street had more than one priced sale. However, the Oakley and Wronski names appear in two separate transactions during the period: Peter T. and Kathryn B. Oakley sold 1044 Plymouth St to Edward A. and Jessica L. Wronski, while Peter T. Oakley, as trustee of K Realty Trust, transferred 0 Sandra Dr to Robert M. Wronski, trustee of W R J Realty Trust. The deed data does not indicate why these parties conducted two separate transactions in the same period.

The five nominal-consideration transfers were spread across Central Street, Old Bedford Road, Christina Drive, David Lane and one address not specified in the record. Four of these, at 544 Central St, 9 David Ln, 58 Old Bedford Rd and 24 Christina Dr, show matching grantor and grantee surnames with "TR" or "TRUST" designations, indicating the property moved into a trust held by the same individuals. The fifth, an unaddressed parcel transferred from Ivan and Tina C. Cruz to Laura A. Collins, does not show a shared name or trust designation in the deed record.

MARKET NOTES Deed records for this period do not include bed, bath or square-footage figures, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons are possible. Property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) is likewise not specified in the data and cannot be inferred from street addresses alone. Nominal-consideration transfers outnumbered priced sales five to four in the period, meaning a majority of recorded documents reflect transfers of property into trusts rather than open-market transactions.
