MATTAPOISETT -- Four properties changed hands for recorded prices in Mattapoisett between July 31 and Aug. 29, while seven additional deed transfers recorded only nominal consideration, reflecting trust and family restructurings rather than market sales.
MARKET OVERVIEW The Plymouth County Registry of Deeds recorded 11 property transfers in Mattapoisett during the period, but seven carried nominal consideration of under $10,000 and are not counted as sales. The remaining four transactions recorded prices ranging from $415,000 to $1,217,000, with a median sale price of $576,500. Four recorded sales over a one-month span is a limited sample, and the data shows no basis to characterize the broader market beyond that count.
TOP SALES 3 Woodlawn Ave. sold for $1,217,000 on July 31. Carol Ciffolillo sold the property to Jeffrey and Sandra Panek. 10 Bayberry Lane sold for $600,000 on Aug. 3. Susan J. Calabro sold the property to Kathryn Rae Koeppel and Austin Updike Koeppel. 5 Barlow Lane sold for $553,000 on Aug. 3. The sellers were Douglas C. Olney and the Estate of Margaret L. Olney; the buyer was Gina Gail Colombo. 7 Marina Drive sold for $415,000 on July 31. The sellers were Sherri Panek, acting as conservator, and Michele Apshaga, by conservator; the buyer was R Property Investment LLC.
NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Among the four recorded sales, one fell under $500,000 (7 Marina Drive), two fell in the $500,000 to $1 million range (5 Barlow Lane and 10 Bayberry Lane), and one exceeded $1 million (3 Woodlawn Ave.). No street had more than one recorded sale with a price. Ocean View Avenue saw two deed transfers during the period, at 12 Ocean View Ave. and 7 Ocean View Ave., but both were nominal-consideration transfers rather than sales; at 7 Ocean View Ave., the Ecker surname appears on both the grantor and grantee lines, indicating a transfer within the same family or into a trust.
MARKET NOTES Seven of the 11 deed transfers recorded this period, nearly two-thirds, carried nominal consideration rather than a sale price. Several of those show matching surnames between seller and buyer, including Valente, Sherman, Ecker and Lima entries, consistent with property moving into or within a trust rather than being sold on the open market. The registry record for 48 North St. shows a transfer between two trusts both tied to the name Carolyn Lima. Among the four priced sales, three buyers appear to be individuals or couples, while 7 Marina Drive sold to R Property Investment LLC, the only recorded buyer entity in the period. No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage data was available in the deed records, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made this month.
