Merrimac August Median Hits $698,000 as Top Sale Clears $1 Million Mark

MERRIMAC -- A sale at 1 Locust Grove Road led Merrimac's August residential market, closing at $1,160,000 and standing well above all other disclosed transactions recorded during the period. Six of 13 total deed transfers included a disclosed sale price, pointing to a month shaped as much by private and family transfers as by open-market activity.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Thirteen deeds were recorded in Merrimac between July 31 and Aug. 29, 2026, but only six carried a disclosed consideration amount. Among those six, prices ranged from $625,000 to $1,160,000, with a median sale price of $698,000. The raw count of 13 transfers suggests a moderately active summer period, though the high share of undisclosed prices, seven of 13, limits the picture that the data can draw of true market-wide pricing.
• TOP SALES
• The month's highest transaction was 1 Locust Grove Road, Lot 3, which sold Aug. 20 for $1,160,000; Michael Sirois conveyed the property to Jonathan Lantigua. Next was 2 Skunk Road, Parcel A, which sold Aug. 21 for $750,000, with Chad Vincent selling to Amylee Davis. The property at 6 W. Shore Road sold July 31 for $711,000, conveyed by Victor A. Guschov to Marissa Tomkins. Two sales tied at $685,000: 25 River Road, sold Aug. 6 by Changdito LLC to Danielle Manninen, and 93 Hadley Road, Lot 82-1-3, sold Aug. 4 by Bettie C. Paradis, trustee, to Darren H. Baker. The lowest disclosed price was the Hadley Road parcel, which sold Aug. 13 for $625,000, with Alison Gadd, trustee, conveying to Wolpk Realty LLC.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Hadley Road produced two recorded transactions: the $625,000 sale of an unnamed Hadley Road parcel and the $685,000 sale at 93 Hadley Road, making it the only street with more than one disclosed-price transfer this period. River Road also logged two entries, with 25 River Road selling for $685,000 and 88 River Road transferring at an undisclosed price. The remaining disclosed-price sales were spread across Locust Grove Road, Skunk Road, and W. Shore Road, all in the $711,000-to-$1,160,000 range. Among the seven undisclosed-price transfers, addresses spanned Pine Street, Carriage Court, Champion Street, Bear Hill Road, East Main Street, and Emery Street.
• MARKET NOTES
• Several transfers in the dataset share characteristics common to intra-family or estate-related conveyances. At 24 Pine Street, the grantor and grantee share the name Adam William Hawkes, with the buyer identified as a trustee. At 88 River Road, the seller and buyer share the surname Vancoppenolle. At 24 Bear Hill Road, seller and buyer are listed as the same individual, Robert J. Topitzer.

The 10 Carriage Court transfer went to a named LLC. None of these transfers included a disclosed price. The dataset does not include property type classifications, so a breakdown by single-family, condo, or multi-family is not possible from the available records.
