Marion's four priced August sales span $330,000 to $1.25 million

MARION -- Plymouth County Registry of Deeds records show 11 property transfers in Marion between Aug. 7 and Sept. 5, but only four carried a recorded sale price, with the top transaction reaching $1,250,000 on Allen Street.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded 11 transfers for the period. Of those, seven were nominal-consideration transfers, meaning they changed hands for a token amount, often tied to trusts, and are not counted as market sales. The four transactions with recorded prices ranged from $330,000 to $1,250,000, with a median of $662,500. With only four priced sales logged so far, and with three more weeks typically needed for late-recorded prices to populate, the period reads as quiet by raw sale-price count, though the full picture may shift as pending prices arrive.

TOP SALES 40 Allen St. sold for $1,250,000 on Aug. 20. The seller was listed as Barrett David A Tr and Allen Street Realty Trust; the buyer was Creative Property Assos LLC. 62 Front St. sold for $925,000 on Aug. 20. The seller was MHT Jackson Marion LLC; the buyers were Karen L. Manning and Nancy Lyle Howland. 56 Oakdale Ave. sold for $400,000 on Aug. 17. The sellers were James J. Cattel Jr. Tr and Elaine M. Cattel Tr; the buyer was Steven Hurwitz. 61 Dexter Rd. sold for $330,000 on Aug. 12. The seller was John A. Eklund Tr; the buyer was James Horigan.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Among the four priced sales, one property topped $1 million: 40 Allen St. at $1,250,000. One fell in the $500,000-to-$1-million range: 62 Front St. at $925,000. Two sold under $500,000: 56 Oakdale Ave. at $400,000 and 61 Dexter Rd. at $330,000. No street recorded more than one priced sale. Separately, the buyer of 40 Allen St., Creative Property Assos LLC, also appears as the buyer in a nominal-consideration transfer of 44 Stoney Run Ln. recorded Aug. 27, three days before the priced Allen Street sale.

MARKET NOTES Seven of the 11 recorded transfers, nearly two-thirds of total deed activity, were nominal-consideration transfers rather than market sales. Several carried shared surnames or trust language indicating within-family or trust-related transfers: Stephen F. and Vanessa A. Everett to Stephen F. Everett Tr and Vanessa A. Everett Tr at 97 Olde Knoll Rd.; Debra Cohen to Debra Bauer Cohen Trust at 13 Joanne Dr.; Jonathan Wayne and Pippa Denise Asker to Asker Family Living Trust at 32 Crapo St.; Marilynne E. Gaffey to Gaffey Nokomis Road Realty Trust at 6 Nokomis Rd.; Frederick E. Severance to Ann F. Severance at an unspecified Marion address; and John A. Jr. and Marlene A. Souza transferring 798 Mill St. to themselves. No beds, baths or square footage data were available in the registry records for any property in this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be drawn. The dataset does not distinguish property types such as single-family, condominium or multi-family, so no breakdown by housing type is possible from the records provided.
