Two Disclosed Sales Set July Price Range at $434 to $530 in Hingham

HINGHAM -- Hingham recorded 12 property transfers between July 3 and Aug. 1, but only two of those deeds disclosed a sale price, and half of the filings moved property between family members or into a trust rather than to an outside buyer.

MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve deeds were recorded in Hingham during the period. Of those, only two disclosed a sale price: $530 and $434. Those two figures set the full price range for the month and produce a median of $482, but that range and median describe only the two transactions that included price data — 2 of the 12 total filings. The other 10 deeds listed no consideration amount, which is common for family and trust transfers under Massachusetts deed recording practice. Taken on raw count alone, 12 recorded transfers is a moderate volume of activity for the roughly four-week period. Because sale prices are missing from the large majority of filings, the overall price level and strength of the Hingham market cannot be assessed from this dataset beyond that transaction count.

TOP SALES Two transactions in this period included a disclosed sale price. A Hingham property, with the specific street address not listed in the recorded deed, sold for $530. Judith A. Gratta was the seller. The buyers were Tesno Holdings LLC and WCV Premier Investments LLC. 24 Coolidge Ave. sold for $434. The seller was First Parish in Hingham. The buyers were Kenneth H. Brown and Susan M. Brown. No bed, bath or square-footage figures were available for either sale, and no other transactions in the period disclosed a price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street recorded more than one transfer in this period, so no street-level concentration emerged. The two disclosed-price sales, $434 and $530, were roughly $100 apart, but with only two data points a price-tier breakdown for the broader market is not meaningful. The remaining 10 transfers, without price data, were spread across Pine Grove Road, Charles Street, Ward Street, Rockwood Road, Summer Street, Ringbolt Road, Squirrel Hill Lane, Cottage Street, North Street and Middle Street.

MARKET NOTES Six of the 12 deeds recorded in this period transferred property between parties sharing the same surname or moved a property into a trust held by its existing owner: 17 Pine Grove Road (Macphadden), 22 Charles St. (Bennett), 145 Ward St. (Deluze, listed as both grantor and grantee), 179 Summer St. (Conroy), 6 Ringbolt Road (Donofrio) and 202 North St. (Bobich). These are identified as family or trust transfers based on matching names in the grantor and grantee fields; the deed records do not state a reason for any individual transfer. The remaining six deeds — at 12 Rockwood Road, 1 Squirrel Hill Lane, the unlisted-address Hingham property, 24 Coolidge Ave., 18 Cottage St. and 21 Middle St. — transferred property to buyers with different names than the sellers. Buyer types in this period included individuals, family trusts, and one pair of limited liability companies, Tesno Holdings LLC and WCV Premier Investments LLC. One seller, First Parish in Hingham, was an institutional rather than individual owner. No property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) was specified in any of the 12 deed records, and no square-footage or price-per-square-foot comparison is possible given the limited disclosed pricing.
