Haverhill Home Prices Span $275,000 To $905,000 In Latest Deeds

HAVERHILL -- Fifteen property transfers were recorded in Haverhill between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, with the nine sales carrying a recorded price ranging from $275,000 to $905,000 and a median of $525,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 15 deeds for the period, but only nine included a sale price at the time of this report; the remaining six show no price yet, which typically means the figure has not reached the registry's data rather than any withholding by the parties involved. Among the nine priced sales, the median was $525,000. Fifteen recorded transfers over four weeks is a moderate volume for the city on raw count alone, and the mix included several trust-to-trust transfers within the same family alongside priced sales to new buyers. All 15 deeds in this batch were recorded on just two days, Oct. 8 and Oct. 9.

TOP SALES

The period's highest-priced transaction was 13 Russett Hill Rd Lot 37, which sold for $905,000 on Oct. 8; Stacy Bezanson sold to William F. Murphy III. The second-highest was 43 Brockton Ave Lot 31, which sold for $820,000 on Oct. 9; Omar Arias sold to Anyelo Diaz. At 33 Lexington Ave, Lynne Kasparian, as trustee, sold to Luke Albert Mankus for $651,000 on Oct. 9. At 50 Fernwood Ave Lot 26, Peter J. Joslin III sold to Jacob R. Pearl for $590,000 on Oct. 9. Rounding out the top five, 64 Woodland Park Dr Unit 64 sold for $525,000 on Oct. 9, with Julie Turcketta selling to Geraldo Debastos Junior.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

South Williams Street saw two transfers in the period: 92 S Williams St sold for $495,000, while 18 S Williams St Lot 46 had no recorded price, a transfer from Linda Marie Koritkoski to Linda M. Koritkoski as trustee. By price tier, four of the nine priced sales fell under $500,000: 40 School St Unit 4 ($275,000), 500 Water St Unit 11B ($285,000), 90 Middlesex St Lot A ($360,000) and 92 S Williams St ($495,000). The remaining five priced sales fell between $500,000 and $1 million: 64 Woodland Park Dr Unit 64 ($525,000), 50 Fernwood Ave Lot 26 ($590,000), 33 Lexington Ave ($651,000), 43 Brockton Ave Lot 31 ($820,000) and 13 Russett Hill Rd Lot 37 ($905,000). No sale in the period topped $1 million.

MARKET NOTES

Three of the priced sales were condominium units, identified by unit numbers rather than lot numbers: 40 School St Unit 4 ($275,000), 500 Water St Unit 11B ($285,000) and 64 Woodland Park Dr Unit 64 ($525,000), spanning the lower half of the price range. A notable share of the period's volume, five of the 15 deeds, involved the same seller name, Thomas A. Klinch, transferring properties at 225 Hilldale Ave Lot 32, 15 Whittier Pl Lot 7 & 8 and a Moody Avenue parcel into trust entities bearing his and Marie Klinch's names; none of those three carried a recorded price. Two additional transfers, at 28 Kristin Ln Lot 7 and 18 S Williams St Lot 46, were also family or trust transfers without a recorded price: the Diane L. Hudson Revocable Trust-2010 to David L. Hudson, and Linda Marie Koritkoski to Linda M. Koritkoski as trustee. Combined, six of the period's 15 transfers, 40 percent, were trust-related and lacked a recorded sale price, while all nine priced sales involved transfers between apparently unrelated buyers and sellers.
