Based on the raw count alone, 14 recorded transfers is a moderate volume for a single month; the data provided does not include prior-month or year-ago figures, so no comparison to historical activity or statewide trends can be made.

MARKET NOTES Eleven of the 14 recorded properties carry condominium-style unit, lot or building designations, indicating that condominium transactions made up the bulk of recorded activity this period. No square-footage or bedroom/bathroom data was available in the deed records, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made.

Several transfers in this period involved parties who share a surname or an existing ownership interest, a pattern consistent with family or trust-related transfers rather than open-market sales. At 6 Pulaski St., Lot B, Carline Bain sold to Joseph F. Bain for $300,000. At 5 Castle Cir., Lot 5, Margaret A. Duprez transferred the property to the Margaret A. Duprez Irrevocable Income Only Trust; no price was disclosed. At 3 Dooling Cir., Lot 13, Frances T. Darras transferred the property to Charles Darras; no price was disclosed. Other entries in the data set also list trusts as sellers or buyers, including 9 Ledgewood Way (seller: Pisano Family Irrevocable Trust) and 137 Summit St., which involved a transfer between two limited liability companies, NSA Property Holdings LLC and PS NSA JV Peabody Summit LLC. The registry data does not indicate the reason for any of these transfers.
