ROCKLAND -- Twelve property transfers were recorded in Rockland from July 31 through Aug. 29, with disclosed sale prices ranging from $190,000 to $740,000 and a median of $550,000 among the eight transactions that listed a price.

MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve deeds were recorded in Rockland during the period, but only eight disclosed a sale price. Among those eight, prices ranged from $190,000 to $740,000, with a median of $550,000. The remaining four transactions, each involving a shared family name between grantor and grantee or a transfer into a family trust, were recorded without a stated consideration. With disclosed pricing covering two-thirds of recorded deeds, the raw sales count alone does not establish whether the period was active or quiet compared to other months; no prior-period data was provided for comparison.

Water St. (Burn, by attorney Lori F. Harrison, to Harrison) and 441 Liberty St. (Garrity to Garrity and William Quigley).
