No Sale Prices Disclosed in Any of Hingham's Eight August Deeds

HINGHAM -- Eight properties in Hingham changed hands between July 31 and Aug. 29, according to deeds recorded at the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds, but not one of the eight transactions listed a sale price.

MARKET OVERVIEW The registry recorded eight property transfers in Hingham during the period. All eight deeds omitted a consideration amount, so a price range and median sale price cannot be calculated for the month. Based on transaction count alone, eight recorded transfers is a measurable level of activity, but without price data it is not possible to characterize the strength of the market beyond that raw count.

TOP SALES Because no deed in the period disclosed a sale price, the transactions cannot be ranked from highest to lowest. The six deeds with a full street address, buyer and seller are listed below by recording date; price is not disclosed for any.

215 Prospect St., recorded July 31: Thomas J. Mancuso and Susan E. Mancuso, as trustees, sold to Alison B. Ring and Timothy R. Doyle. Price not disclosed.

6 Presidents Rd., recorded July 31: Raymond F. Manley, acting through attorney Karen A. Manzi, sold to Matthew Johnson and Madeline Johnson. Price not disclosed.

51 Elm St., recorded July 31: Arlen Galloway and Katherine Galloway sold to Marie A. McAlaughlin and Richard T. McLaughlin. Price not disclosed.

18 Grenadier Rd., recorded July 31: David Christian Crane and Kathryn Brennan Crane sold to Ned McCague and Caroline McCague. Price not disclosed.

44 Wanders Dr., recorded Aug. 5: Michael Burke and Alicia Burke transferred the property to Michael Sean Burke and Alicia Christine Burke, as trustees. Price not disclosed.

17 Independence Ln., recorded Aug. 5: Galen Farrar and Galen Locke Farrar transferred the property to Galen Locke Farrar and Alisha Kelly Farrar, as trustees. Price not disclosed.

Two other deeds recorded in the period had incomplete information in the dataset: a transfer at 5 Richards Rd., recorded Aug. 4, listed only a buyer, Gary Farner, with no seller named; and an unaddressed Hingham parcel, recorded Aug. 3, was transferred from David C. Richards and Lisa Kisting Richards to Lisa Kisting Richards alone.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The eight deeds span seven different streets: Prospect Street, Presidents Road, Elm Street, Grenadier Road, Wanders Drive, Independence Lane and Richards Road, plus one parcel with no street address listed in the record. No two transactions in the period shared a street name, so no street-level concentration emerged. Because no sale prices were disclosed, the transactions also cannot be grouped into price tiers.

MARKET NOTES No price-per-square-foot or valuation comparisons can be made this period since no deed disclosed a sale price and bed, bath and square-footage figures are not part of the deed record. Property type, such as single-family, condominium or multi-family, is likewise not indicated in the data provided.

Three of the eight transfers moved property within the same family. The Aug. 5 deeds at 44 Wanders Drive and 17 Independence Lane each conveyed a property from an individual or married couple into a trust bearing the same surname. The Aug. 3 transfer of the unaddressed Hingham parcel conveyed the property from a married couple, David C. Richards and Lisa Kisting Richards, to Lisa Kisting Richards alone. A fourth deed, at 5 Richards Road, listed a buyer but no seller.

The remaining four recorded transfers, at 215 Prospect Street, 6 Presidents Road, 51 Elm Street and 18 Grenadier Road, involved buyers with different surnames than the sellers, consistent with sales between unrelated parties, though price was not disclosed in any of the four.
