Mattapoisett Home Sales Range From $585,000 To $925,000 In Late Summer

MATTAPOISETT -- Eight deeds were recorded in Mattapoisett between July 17 and Aug. 15, but only two carried an actual sale price, while the remaining six were nominal-consideration transfers, not market sales.

MARKET OVERVIEW Of the eight deeds recorded during the period, six listed nominal consideration under $10,000, a token amount that signals a transfer rather than a market sale. Only two deeds recorded an actual sale price: $585,000 and $925,000. With just two priced sales, there are not enough transactions to calculate a statistically meaningful median; the two figures simply mark the low and high ends of the period's priced activity. Based on the raw count of priced sales alone, the period looks quiet, though six additional property transfers moved through the registry without a market sale price attached.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction recorded was a property in Mattapoisett that sold for $925,000 on July 28. The seller was listed as Charlotte Oliveira, also acting as trustee, and the buyers were Marcus Baptiste and Taunya Baptiste. No street address, bed/bath count or square footage was available in the deed record.

The second-priced sale was 1 Barlow Lane, which sold for $585,000 on July 24. Sellers Ryan Patrick Murphy and Erica Murphy transferred the property to buyer Laurel J. Carlson. No bed/bath or square-footage data was provided.

No other deeds recorded during the period carried a sale price. The remaining six transactions, at 19 Tinkham Lane, 133 Brandt Island Road, 118 Aucoot Road, 27 Randall Road, 3 Crooks Way and 7 Pinewood Way, were all nominal-consideration transfers.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in this period produced more than one priced sale, so no street-level sales cluster emerged among the market transactions. By price tier, the two priced sales split evenly: one in the $500,000-$750,000 range (1 Barlow Lane, $585,000) and one above $750,000 (the Oliveira-to-Baptiste sale, $925,000). The six nominal-consideration transfers were spread across six different streets, Tinkham Lane, Brandt Island Road, Aucoot Road, Randall Road, Crooks Way and Pinewood Way, with no concentration in any single area.

MARKET NOTES Six of the eight recorded deeds, 75% of the period's total, were nominal-consideration transfers rather than market sales. Several of these show names consistent with intra-family or trust-based transfers based on the grantor and grantee names themselves: Gardner/Dardano at Tinkham Lane, Pacheco at Brandt Island Road, Schard at Randall Road, Correia at Crooks Way, and Choquette at Pinewood Way all list a "TR" or trust designation on the receiving side. No bed/bath or square-footage figures were available in the deed data for any property, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons could be calculated. All eight recorded transactions appear to involve single properties with no condominium or multi-family designation noted in the data.
