Median Haverhill Home Sale Hits $645,000 In Four-Week Deed Filing Window

HAVERHILL -- Thirteen residential property transfers were recorded in Haverhill between July 24 and Aug. 22, with disclosed sale prices ranging from $378,000 to $939,000. Five of the 13 transactions carried no disclosed price, several of them transfers between family members or into a trust.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The Essex South Registry of Deeds recorded 13 property transfers for Haverhill addresses in the four-week period. Eight of those sales disclosed a price, ranging from $378,000 to $939,000, with a median of $645,000. The remaining five transactions, roughly 38% of the total, listed no consideration amount, which is standard for certain deed types and does not necessarily indicate an arm's-length sale did not occur. No prior-period data was provided for comparison, so this report does not characterize the 13-sale count as strong or weak relative to other months.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was 2 Towne Hill Rd Lot 2, which sold for $939,000 on Aug. 20. Gisela Rosado sold the property to Dyeykson N. Dossantos.

46 Front Nine Dr sold for $925,000 on Aug. 21. Michael A. Difeo III, as trustee, sold the property to Warren Greenstein.

6 Meadow Ln Lot 2 sold for $595,000 on Aug. 20. Edward J. Csizmar sold the property to Douglas M. Ortega Yanez.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street in this data set had more than one recorded sale, so no street-level clustering emerged. Sales instead break out by price tier among the eight transactions with disclosed prices. Two sales fell under $500,000: 140 Morgan Dr Unit 140 at $408,000 and 21 Eudora St Lot 1 at $378,000. Six sales fell between $500,000 and $1 million: 22 Woodland Park Dr Unit 22 at $512,000, 6 Meadow Ln Lot 2 at $595,000, 649 Main St Lot 10 & 11 at $695,000, 321-323 Washington St at $922,500, 46 Front Nine Dr at $925,000, and 2 Towne Hill Rd Lot 2 at $939,000. No disclosed sale exceeded $1 million.

MARKET NOTES

Nine of the 13 recorded addresses include a unit or lot designation (for example, "Lot 2," "Unit 140" or "Lot 25-2"), consistent with condominium or subdivided-lot properties. Only 46 Front Nine Dr, 17 Lawrence St, 321-323 Washington St and 90 Middlesex St Lot A lack such a designation in the data provided.

Five of the 13 transfers list no sale price, and in each of those cases the buyer and seller share a surname or the deed moves the property into a trust bearing the seller's name: 14 Westminster Ave Lot 77 (Laura B. Devincent to Laura B. Devincent), 17 Lawrence St (Christina Quinto to the Christina L. Quinto Revocable Trust), 320 Boxford Rd Lot 25-2 (Judith A. Martens to Stephanie N. Martens), 12H Oliver St Unit 12H (Sheri Obert to Robert Obert, trustee), and 90 Middlesex St Lot A (James D. Gilvarry to Terence J. Gilvarry). This report does not speculate on the reason for these transfers, only that the pattern is present in the data.
