Just Three of Nine Kingston Deeds Disclose a Sale Price This Period

KINGSTON -- Nine properties changed hands in Kingston between July 17 and Aug. 15, according to newly recorded deeds at the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds, but only three of those transactions disclosed a sale price.

MARKET OVERVIEW Kingston recorded nine property transfers during the period. Of those, three deeds listed a consideration amount: $482, $487 and $660, for a median of $487 among the disclosed sales. The remaining six transfers, two-thirds of the total, did not include a sale price, which is typical for trust, family and estate-related transfers. Nine recorded sales over the four-week span is the only volume figure available in this dataset; without prior-month figures for comparison, the data does not support calling the period active or quiet beyond that raw count.

TOP SALES The three transactions with disclosed prices, in descending order:

33 Indian Pond Rd. sold for $660 on July 20. Karen Baynes sold the property to Christopher MacFarlane and Haley Yoke.

17 East Ave. sold for $487 on July 22. David F. Berry sold the property to Deborah J. Miller.

38 Grove St. sold for $482 on July 20. Joseph A. Smith, as trustee of the John H. Smith Family Trust, sold the property to Helen Thayer.

Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from deed records for any of the three sales. The remaining six transfers in the period did not disclose a sale price and are not ranked here.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Pembroke Street accounted for three of the nine transfers: 7 Pembroke St. (Parcel C), 11 Pembroke St. and 160 Pembroke St., all recorded July 22. None of the three disclosed a sale price. The remaining six transfers were spread across six different streets, one each on Bagnell Street, East Avenue, Indian Pond Road, Grove Street, Willow Street and Riverview Avenue. Among the three disclosed prices, $482, $487 and $660 fall within a narrow range of one another; the dataset does not provide enough disclosed pricing to break the six undisclosed transfers into price tiers.

MARKET NOTES Four of the nine deeds recorded in this period involved a transfer from an individual owner into a trust bearing the same or a related family name, or between trustees of an existing family trust: 12 Bagnell St. (Susan L. MacNab to herself as trustee of the Susan L. MacNab Living Trust), 11 Pembroke St. (Beth Hynes to Beth A. Hynes and Kevin E. Hynes as trustees), 3 Willow St. (Anne M. Gavigan to David W. Gavigan and Susan A. Gavigan as trustees), and 7 Riverview Ave. (Emmett Billings Baker to David Bielawski as trustee of the Party Supplemental Needs Trust). Two additional transfers involved existing realty trusts as the seller: 7 Pembroke St. (Parcel C), sold by the Kingston Aluminum Foundry Realty Trust to Pembroke Street LLC, and 160 Pembroke St., sold by the Pembroke Street Realty Trust to Marilyn R. Kozodoy. None of these six deeds listed a sale price. Property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) is not specified in the deed data provided and is omitted from this report.
