Only Two of 13 Gloucester Property Transfers Disclosed a Sale Price

GLOUCESTER -- Of the 13 property transfers recorded in Gloucester over the past month, only two carried a disclosed sale price, with most of the period's activity consisting of transfers into or out of family trusts rather than open-market sales.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Essex County (Southern District) Registry of Deeds recorded 13 Gloucester property transfers between July 3 and Aug. 1, 2026. Sale prices were disclosed for just two of those transactions: $775,000 and $1,250,000, for a range of $775,000 to $1,250,000 and a two-sale median of $1,012,500. Because 11 of the 13 recorded deeds carried no disclosed consideration, the dataset does not support a broader read on pricing trends for the period. The count of 13 recorded deeds is not, on its own, evidence of an active or quiet market without a prior-period comparison, which is not available here.

TOP SALES The period's highest disclosed sale was 13 Hammond St., Unit 2, which sold for $1,250,000 on July 30. The seller was listed as 77 Bri Str LLC and the buyer as the Lis Lam 202 Rev Tru. The only other disclosed sale was 5 R Brooks Rd., Lot 2, which sold for $775,000 on July 30, transferring from Keith C. Scott to Lisa Leahy. No other transfers in the period included a disclosed sale price, so no further transactions can be ranked by price. The remaining 11 recorded deeds, detailed below, are reported as price not disclosed.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Western Avenue accounted for two of the month's transfers: 339 Western Ave., sold July 31 from Eileen P. Kavanagh to Lawrence Peter Connolly, trustee, and 389 Western Ave., sold July 30 from John E. Tarr to the John E. Tarr Living Trust; neither disclosed a price. No other street had more than one recorded transfer in this period. By price tier, of the two disclosed sales, one fell under $1 million ($775,000, Brooks Road) and one fell above $1 million ($1,250,000, Hammond Street). The remaining 11 transfers -- at Honeysuckle Road, Atlantic Avenue, Russell Avenue, Andrews Court, Gloucester Avenue, Old County Road, Ye Olde County Road, Mt. Vernon Street and Beachcroft Road -- carried no disclosed price and cannot be assigned to a price tier.

MARKET NOTES Ten of the 13 recorded transfers in this period involved a trust as either grantor or grantee, including the O'Connor Family Revocable Trust, the Figurido Family Living Trust, the John E. Tarr Living Trust, the Luca T. Alexis Trust, the DJM Sheehan Irrevocable Trust and the Cefalo Revocable Family Trust, among others. None of those trust-related transfers disclosed a sale price. Both transactions that did disclose a price -- the Brooks Road and Hammond Street sales -- involved either an LLC, an individual seller or an individual buyer rather than a same-family trust transfer. The property descriptions also show a mix of unit and lot designations -- including condominium or unit sales at Honeysuckle Road, Atlantic Avenue, Hammond Street, Brooks Road, Russell Avenue, Old County Road and Beachcroft Road -- alongside deeds for standalone street addresses, indicating the period's transfers spanned both condominium and non-condominium property types. Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures were not available in the deed data and are not reported.
