Mattapoisett Home Prices Span $520,000 to $1.175 Million in Late Summer

MATTAPOISETT -- Four properties changed hands at recorded market prices in Mattapoisett between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19, with the top sale reaching $1,175,000 for a home on Fieldstone Drive. Eight additional deeds recorded in the same window carried only nominal consideration, a pattern consistent with properties being moved into or out of family trusts rather than sold on the open market.

MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve deeds were recorded in Mattapoisett during the period, but only four carried a market sale price. Those four sales ranged from $520,000 to $1,175,000, with a median of $880,000. The remaining eight transfers were recorded at nominal consideration and are not counted in the price range or median. With just four priced sales, the data is too limited to characterize the period as especially active or quiet based on volume alone.

TOP SALES 5 Fieldstone Drive sold for $1,175,000 on Aug. 21. Renia Platt was the seller; William Manuel Perry III and Susan Lynne Perry were the buyers. 35 Main Street sold for $920,000 on Aug. 24. William R. Osier was the seller; Phillip D. and Jessica D. Whittaker were the buyers. 1 Ocean Drive sold for $840,000 on Aug. 21. Andrew T. and Rachel Lee Perron were the sellers; Lawrence J. and Kerry L. Pitman were the buyers. 11 Bowman Road sold for $520,000 on Aug. 25. Jessica Bernier and Jessica Gow were the sellers; Andrew Bennett and Amelia Ruvich were the buyers.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No two priced sales shared a street name, so the four market transactions are grouped by price tier. In the $500,000 to $999,999 range: 11 Bowman Road at $520,000, 1 Ocean Drive at $840,000 and 35 Main Street at $920,000. Above $1 million: 5 Fieldstone Drive at $1,175,000, the only sale to clear that mark this period. The eight nominal-consideration transfers were spread across Brandt Island Road, Rock Street, Pine Island Road, North Street, County Road, Island View Avenue, Marina Drive and one unaddressed Mattapoisett parcel, with no street-level clustering.

MARKET NOTES Eight of the 12 deeds recorded in this period, two-thirds of the total, were nominal-consideration transfers rather than market sales. Most paired a seller's name with an identical name attached to a trust: Thomas E. Kelley transferred both 130 Brandt Island Road and 5 Rock Street to the Thomas Kelley Living Trust; Jean C. West transferred 36 Pine Island Road to the Jean C. West Revocable Trust; Mark W. Keighley and Nancy A. Gentile transferred 66 North Street to trust versions of their own names; Bei Yu and Jie Lin transferred 10 Island View Avenue to trust versions of their own names; and Joseph T. DeLeo transferred 2 Marina Drive to the Joseph T. DeLeo Irrevocable Trust. One nominal-consideration deed, for 28 County Road, listed Webster Bank N.A. as both grantor and grantee. No square footage, bedroom or bathroom figures were available for any property in this dataset, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made, and property type cannot be determined from the records provided.
