Nahant's Top Sale Nearly Triples Its Lowest Recorded Price in September

NAHANT -- Four properties changed hands in Nahant between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, with recorded prices ranging from $695,000 to $1,750,000. Two of the four transactions lack a recorded sale price in the registry data so far, which typically becomes available within about a week of recording.

MARKET OVERVIEW Four sales were recorded in the period, with two carrying a disclosed price so far. The recorded price range runs from $695,000 to $1,750,000, with a median sale price of $1,222,500 based on the prices available. With only two of four sales showing a price, this snapshot is incomplete, and a fuller read of the month's pricing will depend on data that has not yet posted to the registry.

TOP SALES 300 Castle Rd Lot 4 sold for $1,750,000 on Oct. 1, the highest recorded price of the period. Pasquale Guarracino sold the property to Gregory H. Mazman. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record.

26 Central St sold for $695,000 on Oct. 9. Lori Keegan sold the property to Richard Michael Gould. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record.

Two additional properties, 100 Pond St and 44 Willow Rd, recorded transfers on Oct. 8 and Oct. 1, respectively, but price not yet available for either.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street had more than one recorded sale in this period. By price tier: one sale fell in the $500,000-to-$1 million range (26 Central St, $695,000), and one exceeded $1 million (300 Castle Rd Lot 4, $1,750,000). The two remaining transfers, on Pond Street and Willow Road, have no recorded price yet and cannot be placed into a tier.

MARKET NOTES Two of the four recorded transfers appear to be transfers within the same family rather than open-market sales: the Pond Street property moved from Ryszard Wabno to the Wabno Trust, and the Willow Road property moved from Kathleen F. Roberto to Kathleen F. Eaton as trustee. Both are the kind of deed activity common in estate or trust planning; the data does not indicate a motivation for either transfer. No bed, bath or square-footage data was available for any of the four properties, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made this period. Property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) was not specified in the available deed data.
