Whitman Home Prices Hold Near $550,000 Median in Late Summer Deeds

WHITMAN -- Nine property transfers were recorded in Whitman between July 24 and August 22, with seven carrying a disclosed sale price ranging from $470,000 to $615,000. The period's median sale price came in at $550,000, with two sales tying for the top spot at $615,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW Plymouth County Registry of Deeds records show nine transfers in Whitman during the period, seven of which carried a recorded sale price. Prices ranged from $470,000 to $615,000, with a median of $550,000 among the seven priced sales. The remaining two transfers were recorded as nominal consideration and are not counted toward the price range or median. Nine recorded transactions is a modest volume for a one-month window; the data alone does not indicate whether this represents a change from prior periods.

TOP SALES Two properties tied for the period's highest recorded price at $615,000. At 27 Erin St., Norman E. and Nancy A. Smith sold the property to Eric and Catherine Brunelle on Aug. 3. At 534 Hogg Memorial Dr., Ryan J. Cole sold to Andrew Capachione on July 24. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed data for either sale. The third-highest sale was 289 Commercial St., which sold for $599,000 on Aug. 7; the seller was listed as Commercial St Realty Trust with Kevin Perkins as trustee, and the buyer was Kelley A. Chuckran. At $550,000, 214 Winter St. sold Aug. 10, with Casimir Gilbert as seller and Ronald Homere as buyer. Rounding out the top five, 285 Raynor Ave. sold for $534,000 on July 29; sellers were listed as Tommy L. Jones and Tommy L. Banagis, and buyers were Darrell and Channon E. Augustin.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in the dataset recorded more than one priced sale, so transactions are grouped by price tier. Under $500,000: two sales, 22 Old Coach Rd. at $470,000 and 255 Franklin St. at $470,000. Between $500,000 and $600,000: three sales, 285 Raynor Ave. at $534,000, 214 Winter St. at $550,000 and 289 Commercial St. at $599,000. Above $600,000: two sales, both at $615,000, 27 Erin St. and 534 Hogg Memorial Dr.

MARKET NOTES Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available for any transaction in this dataset, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons could be calculated. Two of the nine recorded transfers involved nominal consideration rather than a market sale price and were excluded from the price range and median figures. At 5 Bayberry Rd., Robert W. Healy transferred the property to April J. Montes, as trustee, and the Healy Family Protection Trust; the shared Healy name and trust title indicate a family trust transfer. At 25 Hilltop Rd., Mark Rappoli transferred the property to Mark E. Rappoli, as trustee, and a revocable trust; the matching name indicates a transfer into the seller's own trust. One sale, 22 Old Coach Rd., listed an estate as part of the seller entry (Christina A. Shaw Est.), and the buyer was listed as New View Homes Inc., a corporate buyer rather than an individual.
