Nahant's three disclosed sales this period span $415,000 to $965,000

NAHANT -- Five properties changed hands in Nahant between Aug. 14 and Sept. 12, according to deeds recorded at the Essex County (Southern District) Registry of Deeds. Sale prices were disclosed in three of the five transactions, ranging from $415,000 to $965,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Five sales were recorded during the period. Of those, three disclosed a sale price, ranging from $415,000 to $965,000, with a median of $840,000 among the disclosed-price sales. Two transactions did not include a stated consideration amount, which the registry data notes is common and does not necessarily indicate an unusual transfer. With only five total transactions and two lacking price data, the period reads as quiet by raw count, though the small sample limits any broader read on market direction.

TOP SALES

The month's highest-recorded sale was 26 Karolyn Cir, Lot 92A, which sold for $965,000 on Aug. 21. Steven A. Landry was the seller; Makoto Senoo was the buyer.

10 Lodge Rd, Lot 4, sold for $840,000 on Sept. 4. Joseph P. Mahoney, acting as representative, was the seller; David A. Grissom was the buyer.

131 Wilson Rd, Unit 3C, sold for $415,000 on Sept. 2. Colleen Ball was the seller; Abigail Grace Frary was the buyer.

Two additional properties, 12 Lafayette Ter (Lots 12 & 13) and 47 Pond St (Lot 18), were recorded during the period without a disclosed sale price.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street in the dataset had more than one recorded sale, so no street-level clustering emerged this period. By price tier: one sale fell under $500,000 (131 Wilson Rd, $415,000); two fell in the $500,000-to-$1 million range (10 Lodge Rd at $840,000 and 26 Karolyn Cir at $965,000); and two carried no disclosed price (12 Lafayette Ter and 47 Pond St).

MARKET NOTES

Three of the five recorded deeds involved a grantor acting in a fiduciary capacity rather than as an individual owner: the Lodge Road seller was listed as a representative (REP), the Lafayette Terrace seller was listed as a trustee (TR) conveying to a buyer also listed as a trustee, and the Pond Street transfer moved from a representative to an individual bearing the same name (Nicholas A. Kersten to Nicholas A. Kersten). These fiduciary transfers, which include the two deeds without disclosed prices, are consistent with estate or trust administration; the registry data does not indicate the reason for any transfer. The one condominium unit in the dataset, 131 Wilson Rd Unit 3C, was also the period's lowest-priced disclosed sale. Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures were not available in the deed records for any property in this period.
