Hanson Records Just One Priced Sale Amid Wave of Trust Transfers

HANSON -- Plymouth County Registry of Deeds records show just one property changed hands at a recorded market price in Hanson between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3, while 11 other transfers recorded during the period carried only nominal consideration, indicating they were not standard market sales.

MARKET OVERVIEW Of the 12 deed transfers recorded for Hanson during the period, only one carried a disclosed sale price: $380,000. Because fewer than three transactions have a market price attached, a meaningful price range or median cannot be calculated this month. The remaining 11 entries were recorded with nominal consideration, often $1 or $10, a marker typically used for transfers between family members, into trusts, or among co-owners rather than for arm's-length sales. Some of the 11 nominal transfers may eventually show market pricing once full registry data populates, but as recorded, Hanson's tracked sales volume for the period is limited to a single transaction.

TOP SALES The lone priced sale was 254 Lakeside Road, which sold for $380,000 on Sept. 15. Seller Joseph Nichols transferred the property to buyers Janine and Gary Savoie. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record. No other transfers recorded during the period carried a disclosed price, so no additional entries can be ranked among top sales this month.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Lakeside Road saw two recorded transfers during the period: the $380,000 sale at 254 Lakeside Road and a nominal-consideration transfer at 137 Lakeside Road, where Steven Barton Thompson transferred the property to himself and Alison Thompson, a shared-surname transfer. No other street had more than one recorded transfer in this dataset. With only one priced sale, tiered price-bracket breakdowns are not applicable this period.

MARKET NOTES Eleven of the 12 recorded transfers in Hanson during the period were nominal-consideration transfers rather than market sales. Several show patterns consistent with transfers within the same family or into a trust, based on shared surnames or "TR"/"TRUST" designations in the grantee name: Perry (79 Liberty St.), Moore (595 State St.), Calway (267 County Road), Harrington (75 Big Rock Lane), Storey (316 W. Washington St.), Adduci/Holland (60 Robinson St.), Siereveld (229 Pleasant St.), Thompson (137 Lakeside Road), Mendonza (55 Barbara Road), and Ban (240 Winter St.). One nominal-consideration transfer, at 143 Milford St., moved from Elko Construction Corp. to buyer Amy Green; the names do not indicate a family or trust relationship. Property type (single-family, condominium, or multi-family) is not specified in any of the deed entries and is not reported here. Because only one transfer in the period carried a market price, no price-per-square-foot comparisons are possible.
