Hingham Sale Prices Span $30,625 to $5.75 Million in Late-September Period

HINGHAM -- Thirteen property transfers were recorded in Hingham between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, including eight completed sales ranging from $30,625 to $5,750,000, with a median sale price of $2,330,000. Two of those sales topped $5 million, led by a $5.75 million purchase on Otis Street.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Eight of the 13 recorded transfers carried a sale price; the remaining five were nominal-consideration transfers, each moving property for $10 or less, typically between individuals and a trust bearing their own names. Among the eight priced sales, prices ranged from $30,625 to $5,750,000, with a median of $2,330,000. That raw count, eight priced sales and five non-market transfers over a four-week window, does not by itself indicate whether the period was busier or slower than usual; the data provides no prior-period comparison.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced sale was 161 Otis St., which sold for $5,750,000. The seller was listed as Bradford S. Caron and the buyers as Seth J. Karp and Lauren H. Karp. The second-highest was 12 Howard Rd., which sold for $5,025,000; the seller was BRIC Builders LLC and the buyer was Connor Fitzgerald. Third was 37 Lincoln St. at $2,675,000, sold by Douglas J. and Jane A. Calandra to Mark W. Williamson, trustee, and the McNeil Irrevocable Gift Trust Subtrust. Fourth was 37 Foley Beach Rd. at $2,600,000, sold by ALR Homes LLC to Paul O. and Alyssa Pedersen. Fifth was 6 Bradford Rd. at $2,060,000, sold by Mary Ann and Gregory Hren to Randall A. and Tara M. Parrish.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street in this period had more than one priced sale, so transactions are grouped by price tier. Under $1 million: a $30,625 transfer from the Town of Hingham to the Hingham Affordable Housing Trust, and 5 Richard Rd., which sold for $850,000 to Four Sons LLC. Between $1 million and $3 million: 126 Downer Ave. ($1,550,000), 6 Bradford Rd. ($2,060,000), 37 Foley Beach Rd. ($2,600,000) and 37 Lincoln St. ($2,675,000). Above $3 million: 12 Howard Rd. ($5,025,000) and 161 Otis St. ($5,750,000).

MARKET NOTES

The five nominal-consideration transfers recorded during the period show a consistent pattern: in four of the five, the grantee's name includes "TR" or "TRUST," indicating the same individuals who held the property moved it into a trust in their own names, at 17 Leavitt St., 703 Main St., 19 Cedar St. and 49 Gardner St. A fifth, at 6 Blackberry Ln., shifted from two Mokraoui family members to one Mokraoui family member and an additional grantee, Graham Brown, for nominal consideration.

Two sales involved LLC sellers, BRIC Builders LLC at 12 Howard Rd. and ALR Homes LLC at 37 Foley Beach Rd., both among the period's five highest-priced transactions. One sale, 5 Richard Rd., had an LLC buyer, Four Sons LLC. Connor Fitzgerald appears on both sides of the ledger this period: as buyer of 12 Howard Rd. for $5,025,000 and as seller of 126 Downer Ave. for $1,550,000. The $30,625 transfer from the Town of Hingham to the Hingham Affordable Housing Trust is the lowest priced recorded transaction and is a municipal transfer rather than a typical residential sale; it is included in the price range and median because the registry recorded a price, though readers should note its distinct nature. No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage data was available for any property in this dataset.
