Danvers Home Sales Span $605,000 To $1.75 Million In Summer Period

DANVERS -- Thirteen properties changed hands in Danvers between June 26 and July 25, with disclosed sale prices ranging from $605,000 to $1.75 million and a median of $872,500 among the six transactions that included a stated price.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Essex County Registry of Deeds recorded 13 property transfers in Danvers during the period, but only six included a disclosed consideration amount. Among those six, prices ranged from $605,000 to $1,750,000, with a median of $872,500. The remaining seven transfers were recorded without a sale price, a common feature of deed records that does not necessarily indicate a lower-value or non-arm's-length transaction. With 13 total recorded transfers, the period shows a similar volume of activity to what deed records typically show in a four-week span, though the data provided does not include prior-month figures for direct comparison.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction was 135 Maple St., which sold for $1,750,000 on July 17. The seller was listed as 1904 LLC and the buyer as Engine 111 LLC. The second-highest sale was 3 Crossman Ln., Lot 3, which sold for $1,550,000 on July 24; the seller was Justin W. Cecil, trustee, and the buyer was Nicholas Fowler. At 23 Bradley Rd., Lot 24, the property sold for $995,000 on July 16, with Mark S. Labbe, trustee, as seller and Robert M. Dallocco as buyer. A condominium unit at 106 Conant St., Lot 7, sold for $750,000 on July 16; Lyndsay Gilliland was the seller and Gabriella Pucciarelli the buyer. Rounding out the top five, a unit at 35 Collins St., Unit 88, sold for $630,000 on July 20, with Michael S. Rossetter as seller and Arianna Sicari as buyer.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Maple Street saw two recorded transfers during the period: the $1,750,000 sale at 135 Maple St. and an undisclosed-price sale at 178 Maple St., Lot B, which transferred from Mario M. Makhluf to the Cheryl A. Makhluf Trust on July 22. No other street had more than one recorded transfer. By price tier among the six disclosed sales, four fell between $500,000 and $1 million (Collins Street, the unaddressed record at $605,000, Conant Street and Bradley Road), while two exceeded $1 million (Crossman Lane and Maple Street). The remaining seven properties, spread across Holton Street, Garden Street, Centre Street, North Putnam Street, North Street and Kirkbride Drive, recorded no disclosed price.

MARKET NOTES Eight of the 13 recorded transfers involved a lot or unit designation in the address -- including properties on Crossman Lane, Garden Street, Maple Street, Collins Street, North Street, Kirkbride Drive, Bradley Road and Conant Street -- indicating a substantial share of condominium or multi-unit transactions during the period. No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage data was available in the deed records, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons could be made. Four of the 13 transfers were trust-related transactions in which the grantor and grantee appear to be the same individual or immediate family member, including 33-6 Holton St. (Diane C. Scanzani to the Diane C. Scanzani 2026 Revocable Trust), 27 Centre St. (Catherine A. Moss to Catherine A. Moss, trustee), 178 Maple St. (Mario M. Makhluf to the Cheryl A. Makhluf Trust) and 100-247 Kirkbride Dr., Unit 146 (Patricia Dickson to Warren D. Dickson, trustee). None of these trust transfers included a disclosed sale price. Three transfers involved limited liability companies as buyers -- 50-52 N. Putnam St. (50-52 North Putnam LLC), 86 North St., Lot 99 (King Smith Vincent Thirty-Nine LLC) and 135 Maple St. (Engine 111 LLC) -- pointing to some business or investment-entity activity in the period's sales mix.
