Six disclosed Brockton sales span $430 to $737 with $595 median price

BROCKTON -- Fifteen property deeds were recorded in Brockton between July 17 and Aug. 15, but only six included a disclosed sale price, ranging from $430 to $737 with a median of $595 among those six.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Plymouth County Registry of Deeds recorded 15 Brockton transfers during the period. Of those, six listed a consideration amount, ranging from $430 to $737, with a median of $595. The other nine deeds, three-fifths of the total, did not disclose a price, which is common for deed records and limits how much can be concluded about overall market values this period. Fifteen recorded transfers over four weeks is a moderate volume based on the raw count alone; whether that reflects an active or quiet market cannot be determined without comparison data from prior periods, which was not provided.

TOP SALES The highest-value recorded sale was 61 Huntington Ave, at $737, which closed July 17. Sellers Leon Edwards and Leonarda Edwards transferred the property to buyers Robens Fils and Guelle Estiverne. At 33 Glendale Ave, Dasilva Enterprises LLC sold to Maria F. Fernandes for $639 on July 17. At 54 Verne St, Robert J. Samuels sold to Lynn P. Thach and Myssa Duong for $610 on July 21. At 42 Sewell St, sellers Caroline Ferguson and the estate of James Michael Hoey transferred the property to Joaquim A. Silva and Maria D. Silva for $580 on July 17. Rounding out the top five, 26 Debbie Rd sold for $515 on July 20, with J LLC as seller and Hermeline Chancy as buyer.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street recorded more than one transaction during the period, so sales are grouped here by price tier among the six with disclosed amounts. Two sales fell below $550: 1153 W Elm St Ext at $430 and 26 Debbie Rd at $515. Three sales fell between $550 and $650: 42 Sewell St at $580, 54 Verne St at $610 and 33 Glendale Ave at $639. One sale exceeded $650: 61 Huntington Ave at $737. The remaining nine transfers, spanning Rangeley Avenue, Russell Road, Silver Road, Montello Street Extension, Moraine Street, Howard Avenue, Mercedes Road, Berglund Avenue and Montello Street, carried no disclosed price.

MARKET NOTES Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from deed records, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made this period. Several of the undisclosed-price transfers show a pattern of properties moving within the same family or into a trust rather than to a new outside buyer: 75 Rangeley Ave went from David M. Shea and Denise M. Shea to themselves as trustees; 2 Silver Rd went from Earle S. Sterling Jr. and Diane M. Sterling to themselves as trustees; 12 Howard Ave went from Linda S. Volpe to the Linda S. Volpe Revocable Trust; and 67 Mercedes Rd went from Kerry A. Sutton to herself as trustee. Two additional transfers, 54 Russell Rd and 181 Moraine St, involved grantors and grantees sharing a surname, consistent with a family transfer, though the deed data does not specify the relationship or motivation. One transfer, 22 Montello St Ext, moved from an individual, Roberto Pina Cardoso, to an entity, Cardoso Properties LLC. Given that nine of 15 deeds, or 60%, carried no disclosed consideration, buyers and sellers weighing recent activity should treat the six-sale price range as a partial picture of the month's market rather than a complete one.
