MARKET OVERVIEW

Nine of the 11 recorded transfers included a sale price, ranging from $465,000 to $790,000, with a median of $613,000.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street in the dataset recorded more than one sale, so transactions are grouped by price tier. Under $500,000: one sale, 480 Forest St. at $465,000.

MARKET NOTES

Bed, bath and square footage data were not available for any property in this dataset, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made. Two transfers involved limited liability companies: Lamy Investments LLC sold 49 Custer St., and RAB LLC purchased 480 Forest St. from Gregory E. MacDonald and the estate of Donna J. MacDonald, the latter being the lowest-priced sale of the period. Two transfers were recorded for nominal consideration rather than a market sale: 10 Bay Path Ln., where Erik Burns and Melissa Marie Mangold transferred the property to Erik Burns, trustee, and Melissa Burns, trustee; and 44 Vernon St., where Nadege Philippe and Joseph J. Millan transferred the property to Joseph J. Millan alone.
