Marion's September Sales Span Wide Price Gap From Starter Homes To Million-Dollar Properties

MARION -- Six properties changed hands for recorded prices in Marion between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3, with sale prices ranging from $200,000 to $1.3 million and a median of $687,500. Three additional transfers recorded during the period carried only nominal consideration and are not counted as market sales.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Plymouth County Registry of Deeds records show nine total property transfers in Marion during the period, but only six carried a market sale price. Those six ranged from $200,000 to $1,300,000, with a median sale price of $687,500. The remaining three transfers were recorded for nominal consideration, typically $1 or $10, and are not reflected in the price range or median. Six market sales in a one-month span is a limited sample; the raw count alone does not indicate whether buyer or seller demand shifted from prior months.

TOP SALES

The month's highest-priced sale was 635 Mill St., Lot 2, which sold for $1,300,000 on Sept. 16. The seller was listed as Jay E. Hiller Jr., trustee, and PNH Realty Trust; the buyer was Mill LLC. Bed, bath and square-footage data were not available in the deed record.

197 Converse Road sold for $795,875 on Sept. 4. The seller was Gary L. Robey Jr., trustee, and the Gary L. Robey Jr. Revocable Trust; the buyers were Lorna F. Eames and Jennifer F. Eames, both listed as trustees.

898 Point Road sold for $285,000 on Sept. 4. The seller was Karen E. Pina, trustee, and the Louise R. Barros Revocable Trust; the buyer was Andrew Corrigan.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No single street recorded more than one priced sale during the period, so sales are grouped by price tier. Under $500,000: two sales, 0 Wilson Road, Lot 24, at $200,000 and 898 Point Road at $285,000. Between $500,000 and $1 million: three sales, 6 Taunton Ave. at $675,000, 9 Quelle Lane at $700,000 and 197 Converse Road at $795,875. Over $1 million: one sale, 635 Mill St., Lot 2, at $1,300,000.

MARKET NOTES

Buyer entities in two of the six priced sales were limited liability companies or corporations rather than individuals: Mill LLC purchased 635 Mill St., Quelle Lane LLC purchased 9 Quelle Lane, and JIJ Properties Inc. and Perkins Properties Inc. jointly purchased 0 Wilson Road, Lot 24, for $200,000. Deed records did not include bed, bath or square-footage figures for any transaction, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made.

Three transfers recorded in the period involved nominal consideration rather than a market price and are not included in the sales figures above. 20 Ichabod Lane, recorded Sept. 25, transferred from Marc A. Treichler, trustee, and Michelle D. Beneski, trustee, to Marc A. Treichler, a shared-surname transfer. 340 Front St., recorded Sept. 21, transferred from Peter Wiemeyer, trustee, and Elaine A. Wiemeyer, trustee, to parties listed as Wiemeyer Trustee and Peter Wiemeyer Trustee, also reflecting a shared surname. 35 Spring St., recorded Sept. 15, transferred from James P. Forker Jr. and James P. Forker to James P. Forker Jr. and Benjamin Forker, another shared-surname transfer.
