Median Sale Price Holds at $849,000 as Georgetown Records 15 Deeds

GEORGETOWN -- Fifteen property transfers were recorded at the Essex County (Southern District) Registry of Deeds for Georgetown between June 26 and July 25, with prices ranging from $651,000 to $1,373,900 and a median sale price of $849,000 among the transactions that disclosed a price.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Fifteen deeds were recorded in Georgetown during the period, though only 11 of the 15 listed a consideration amount. Among those 11 disclosed sales, prices ranged from $651,000 to $1,373,900, with a median of $849,000. The remaining four transfers carried no disclosed price; all four moved property between parties sharing the same last name -- Sedgwick to Sedgwick, Olsen to an Olsen family trust, Calder to Calder, and Hermanson to a Hermanson trust -- consistent with the pattern of family or trust transfers that commonly carry no recorded sale price. Based on raw count alone, 15 recorded transfers in a single month is a notable volume of activity for the town, though the data does not include a prior-period comparison to establish whether this represents a change from typical pace.

TOP SALES

The month's highest-priced transaction was 206 W Main St, Unit 5, which sold for $1,373,900 on July 17. Rock Pond Development LLC was the seller; Andrew G Smith was the buyer. At 16 Thurlow St, the property sold for $990,000 on July 10, with Mary Anne Correnti-Meyers as seller and George Desrochers as buyer. A property at 26 Long Hill Rd, Lot 1, sold for $960,000 on July 16; Andrew S Liakos was the seller and Stuart Conti the buyer. At 22 Nelson Ave, Lot 22, the sale price was $900,000, recorded July 17, with Teresa B Keilty as seller and Christopher Jacob Nevers as buyer. Rounding out the top five, 38 Woodland Rd sold for $820,000 on July 15; Marcos Desouza Dasilva was the seller and Cote 1 Holdings LLC the buyer. Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available in deed records for any of these properties.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Two streets had multiple recorded transfers. Main Street saw two deeds at opposite ends of the price spectrum: 206 W Main St, Unit 5, at $1,373,900, and 246 E Main St, Lot 2, at $651,000, the lowest disclosed sale of the period. Searle Street also had two transfers: 8 Searle St sold for $710,000, while 68 Searle St, Lot 5, carried no disclosed price and transferred from Stephanie Calder to Stephanie Calder. By price tier among the 11 disclosed sales, four fell under $800,000 (246 E Main St at $651,000; 8 Searle St at $710,000; 3 Larkspur Cr, Unit 3, at $749,000; and 92 Central St at $750,000); four fell between $800,000 and $950,000 (38 Woodland Rd at $820,000; 20 Baldpate Rd, Lot 43, at $849,000; 4 Forest St, Lot 4, at $851,000; and 22 Nelson Ave, Lot 22, at $900,000); and three exceeded $950,000 (26 Long Hill Rd, Lot 1, at $960,000; 16 Thurlow St at $990,000; and 206 W Main St, Unit 5, at $1,373,900).

MARKET NOTES

Eleven of the 15 recorded deeds referenced a lot or unit number -- including 206 W Main St, 22 Nelson Ave, 15 Village Ln, 9 Hillside Dr, 26 Long Hill Rd, 68 Searle St, 7 Brook Meadow Ln, 3 Larkspur Cr, 20 Baldpate Rd, 246 E Main St and 4 Forest St -- indicating most of the month's activity involved condominium or subdivided-lot properties rather than standalone single-family homes. Only four deeds (38 Woodland Rd, 92 Central St, 16 Thurlow St and 8 Searle St) lacked a lot or unit designation. Separately, all four transfers without a disclosed sale price involved a grantor and grantee sharing a surname, suggesting those were family or trust transfers rather than open-market sales; deed records do not indicate the reason for these transfers. One deed, for 4 Forest St, Lot 4, listed the seller as "Beatrice, Peyton Rep," indicating an estate representative capacity.
