Nahant's top sale clears $1.7 million as two prices still pending

NAHANT -- Three property transfers recorded at the Essex South Registry of Deeds between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3 ranged from $840,000 to $1,750,000, with one sale still awaiting a recorded price.

MARKET OVERVIEW Three sales were recorded in the period. Of those, two carried a recorded sale price, ranging from $840,000 to $1,750,000, for a median of $1,295,000. The third sale, at 44 Willow Rd, has no price recorded yet. With only three recorded transfers, the period counts as quiet by raw volume, though the dataset does not include enough history to say whether that is typical for Nahant in a given month.

TOP SALES 300 Castle Rd, Lot 4, sold for $1,750,000 on Oct. 1. Seller Pasquale Guarracino conveyed the property to Gregory H. Mazman. This was the highest-priced sale of the period.

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

44 Willow Rd sold Oct. 1; price not yet available. Kathleen F. Roberto was the seller and Kathleen F. Eaton, trustee, was the buyer.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN The three sales were spread across three different streets, Castle Road, Willow Road and Lodge Road, with no overlap. By price tier: one sale was priced over $1 million (300 Castle Rd, at $1,750,000); one fell in the $500,000-to-$1-million range (10 Lodge Rd, at $840,000); and one has no price yet recorded (44 Willow Rd).

MARKET NOTES Two of the three properties, 300 Castle Rd and 10 Lodge Rd, are recorded with a "Lot 4" designation, consistent with condominium or subdivided-unit sales rather than standalone single-family transfers. The Lodge Road sale listed the seller as an estate representative, indicating that transaction followed the death of the prior owner. The Willow Road transfer listed both the seller and buyer under the name Kathleen F., with the buyer identified as trustee, suggesting that sale moved the property into a trust rather than to an outside buyer. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed data for any of the three properties.
