Mattapoisett median sale price reaches $1.265 million in July deed data

MATTAPOISETT -- Eleven property transfers were recorded in Mattapoisett between July 3 and Aug. 1, but just five carried a market sale price, ranging from $160,364 to $1,885,541. The remaining six were nominal-consideration transfers, each moving property from an individual owner to a trust bearing the same surname.

MARKET OVERVIEW Of the 11 recorded deeds, five reflect market sales with a recorded consideration. Those five prices range from $160,364 to $1,885,541, with a median of $1,265,000. The other six transfers were recorded at nominal consideration (under $10,000), a token amount that does not reflect market value and is excluded from the price range and median calculations. With five priced sales in a four-week window, the period shows modest sales volume relative to the overall deed count, which was dominated by trust-related paperwork rather than open-market transactions.

TOP SALES The highest-priced sale was 24 Pine Island Rd, which sold for $1,885,541 on July 13. Seller Donald Mark Thea conveyed the property to buyers Jeremy J. Collier and Rebecca A. Maki. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record.

28 Prince Snow Cir sold for $1,400,000 on July 9. Sellers Robert A. and Kelsey E. Forcier conveyed the property to buyers Patrick J. and Christina Scanlan.

10 Shagbark Cir sold for $1,265,000 on July 10. Sellers Arun B. and Sangeeta Rajan conveyed the property to buyers Ka Ming Cheng and Sum Yee Diana Tsang.

9 Pine Rd sold for $160,364 on July 9. Seller Paul F. Forrest conveyed the property to buyers James P. and Jennifer Forrest.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street recorded more than one priced sale this period, so transactions are grouped by price tier. Under $500,000: one sale, 9 Pine Rd at $160,364. Between $500,000 and $1 million: one sale, 2 Winter Hill Rd at $985,000. Over $1 million: three sales, 10 Shagbark Cir, 28 Prince Snow Cir and 24 Pine Island Rd, ranging from $1,265,000 to $1,885,541.

MARKET NOTES Six of the 11 recorded deeds this period were nominal-consideration transfers rather than market sales. Each paired a seller and buyer sharing the same surname, with the buyer identified as a trustee or trust entity: 7 Pinewood Way (Choquette), 5 Union Ave (Hanson), 29 Cove St (Leary), 3 Quansett St East (Guillette), 15 Hereford Hill Rd (Nicholson), and 112 Acushnet Rd (Forbes, to the Cora Wedgwood Finch Family Trust). These transfers carried no market price and were not included in the sales range or median. No square footage or bedroom/bathroom data was available for any transaction in this dataset, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons could be made. All five priced sales and six nominal transfers involved single addresses with no indication in the deed records of condominium or multi-family designation.
