Nearly A Third Of Abington's July Home Sales Carried No Disclosed Price

ABINGTON -- Eleven properties changed hands in Abington between July 24 and July 31, according to deeds recorded at the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds. Eight of the transactions disclosed a sale price, ranging from $330 to $900, with a median of $600.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded 11 sales in the roughly one-week span covered by this data. Of those, eight listed a disclosed consideration amount, ranging from $330 to $900 with a median sale price of $600. The remaining three transfers, at 40 Kimber Cir, 1437 Bedford St and 36 Winthrop St, listed no consideration. Based on the raw count alone, 11 recorded transfers in about a week represents a moderate level of activity; the dataset does not include prior-period figures for comparison, so no conclusion can be drawn about whether this pace is typical for Abington.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction was 214 Presidential Dr, which sold for $900 on July 28. Sellers Cheryl A. Thorburn and James C. Thorburn transferred the property to buyers Dana Kennedy and Matthew McDermott. At 206 High St, Abington Investments LLC sold to Janis A. Shakr for $830 on July 24. The property at 96 Central St sold for $768 on July 31, with sellers Aziz Guermoudi and Maria E. Guermoudi transferring to buyers Samuel Mossing and Kandace Webb Mossing. At 566 Adams St, Robert W. Mattson sold to Zephania Omondi for $605 on July 30. Rounding out the top five, 518 Summer St sold for $595 on July 31, with sellers Jason Strojny and Emily Strojny transferring to buyer Jeanette D. Christianson.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No two disclosed-price sales shared a street name in this dataset, so no street-level cluster emerged. By price tier among the eight disclosed sales: two fell under $500 (10 Kingswood Dr Unit 13D at $330 and 895 Hancock St at $415); four fell between $500 and $800 (32 Thicket St at $535, 518 Summer St at $595, 566 Adams St at $605, and 96 Central St at $768); and two exceeded $800 (206 High St at $830 and 214 Presidential Dr at $900). The three transfers with no disclosed price, at 40 Kimber Cir, 1437 Bedford St and 36 Winthrop St, are not reflected in the tier breakdown.

MARKET NOTES Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available in the deed records for any property. One sale, at 10 Kingswood Dr Unit 13D, is identified in the records as a condominium unit; the deed data does not specify property type for the other 10 addresses. Three of the 11 transfers show patterns consistent with family, trust or entity transfers rather than open-market sales: 40 Kimber Cir moved between individuals sharing the McLaughlin surname with no price disclosed; 36 Winthrop St transferred from Robert Appleby, trustee, and the Appleby Family Trust to Robert C. Appleby and Deborah L. Appleby as trustees, also with no price disclosed; and 1437 Bedford St transferred between two LLCs, DebJr Neta LLC and Bedffford Owner LLC, with no price disclosed. Two additional disclosed-price sales involved an estate as a party: 10 Kingswood Dr Unit 13D listed Cronin Patricia A Est among the buyers, and 895 Hancock St listed Ramoska Stanley Est among the sellers. The data does not indicate why these particular transfers lacked a disclosed price; that pattern is common for non-arm's-length transfers in deed records generally.
