Mattapoisett Deed Prices Show Little Trend as Most Sales Go Undisclosed

MATTAPOISETT -- Twelve property transfers were recorded in Mattapoisett between June 19 and July 18, but only two of those deeds disclosed a sale price, limiting a full read on the town's summer housing market.

MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve deeds were recorded in the four-week period. Of those, two included a disclosed consideration amount: $757 and $363, producing a disclosed price range of $363 to $757 and a median of $560 based on the two disclosed figures. The other 10 transfers listed no sale price, which the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds identifies as normal for certain filing types, including transfers into family trusts. The raw filing count of 12 shows steady recording activity for the period, but with price data available for only two of 12 deeds, the market's price trend cannot be assessed from this data set.

TOP SALES Two transactions in the period disclosed a sale price. The highest was 91 North St., which sold for $757 on June 26; sellers Adam C. Robert and Kaitlin L. Robert transferred the property to buyers Rachael Judge and Peter D. Judge. The second was 14 Chapel Rd., which sold for $363 on June 25; the deed lists Genevieve A. Bowman as seller and does not name a buyer. No other deed recorded in the period disclosed a sale price, so a full ranking of the month's highest-value transactions beyond these two is not possible from the available data.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN North Street was the only street with more than one recorded transfer. 91 North St. sold June 26 for $757, and 151 North St. changed hands the same day in a transfer from Charles and Nancy Diehl to Blair Diehl, as trustee, and Casey E. Heenehan, as trustee, with no price disclosed. The remaining nine transfers were spread across nine different streets -- Cove Street, Quansett Street East, Hereford Hill Road, Acushnet Road, Oakland Street, Winter Hill Road, Wildwood Terrace, Ocean Breeze Lane and Olivers Lane -- with one recorded sale each. Because only two of the 12 deeds disclosed a price, a breakdown by price tier is not meaningful for this period.

MARKET NOTES Eight of the 12 recorded deeds were transfers in which the seller and buyer share the same name, with the property moving from individual ownership into a trust held by that same individual: 3 Quansett St. East (Erik P. and Lori A. Guillette to themselves as trustees), 15 Hereford Hill Rd. (Patricia Nicholson to herself as trustee of the Patricia Nicholson Revocable Trust), 112 Acushnet Rd. (Dawn W. Forbes to herself as trustee of the Cora Wedgewood Finch Family Trust), 9 Oakland St. (Steven L. and Paula C. Bonney to themselves as trustees), 1 Winter Hill Rd. (Daniel F. and Alyse D. Sullivan to themselves as trustees), 9 Olivers Ln. (Jonathan J. Oliveira to himself as trustee of the Jonathan J. Oliveira Living Trust), 151 North St. (described above), and 29 Cove St., where Sean J. Leary, as trustee of the Twenty Nine Cove Road Realty Trust, transferred the property to Sean J. Leary and Gabriella Leary individually. None of these eight deeds disclosed a sale price. One transfer, 6 Ocean Breeze Ln., went to a buying entity, Ocean Breeze LLC, from sellers James M. and Kim Marie Dwyer; no price was disclosed. No square-footage, bedroom or bathroom data was available for any deed in this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made and property type (single-family, condo or multi-family) cannot be determined from the data provided.
