Saugus Home Prices Cluster Near $600,000-$700,000 in Latest Deed Records

SAUGUS -- Fourteen property transfers were recorded in Saugus between June 26 and July 25, with sale prices ranging from $21,306 to $935,000 among the seven transactions that disclosed a price. The period's median sale price was $600,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Essex County (Southern District) Registry of Deeds recorded 14 transfers in Saugus during the period. Of those, seven listed a consideration amount, ranging from $21,306 to $935,000, with a median of $600,000 across the disclosed sales. The other seven transfers did not include a sale price, a common feature of deed records for trust and family transfers. With five of the seven disclosed-price sales falling between $599,000 and $696,000, pricing was relatively clustered in that band, aside from one low-value outlier and the period's two sales above $850,000. The raw count of 14 recorded transfers indicates a period of ordinary activity; no comparative data was provided to judge it against other months.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction was 53 Walnut St, Lot 1, which sold for $935,000 on July 16. The seller was Yancaro Flipping Company LLC and the buyer was Ha Hai T. Pham.

At 57 Vine St, the property sold for $850,000 on July 20. Melouse Michel was the seller, and the buyer was 32-34 Dunmoreland St LLC.

9 Oaklandvale Ave sold for $696,000 on July 23. Wallace R. Miles sold the property to Stephen Delgenio.

9 Nirvana Dr., Unit 2E, sold for $600,000 on July 20. Kenny Tai Hoang was the seller, and Monica Diana was the buyer.

25 Wonderland Ave., Lot 32, sold for $599,000 on July 21. Daniel J. Dominguez sold the property to Sarah Hong.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in the dataset recorded more than one sale, so no single-street pattern emerged. Grouped by price tier: two sales fell under $500,000 in disclosed price -- $330,000 for 141 Essex St., Unit B-4, and $21,306 for a "See Record" parcel transferred between Sho At Sau LLC and RFF Fam Par LP. Five sales fell in the $500,000-to-$1 million range: 25 Wonderland Ave. ($599,000), 9 Nirvana Dr. ($600,000), 9 Oaklandvale Ave. ($696,000), 57 Vine St. ($850,000) and 53 Walnut St. ($935,000). No sales exceeded $1 million, and seven of the 14 transfers carried no disclosed price.

MARKET NOTES Half of the period's 14 transfers -- seven of 14 -- involved no disclosed sale price, and several of those were transfers into or within family trusts rather than open-market sales: 131 Forest St., Unit E1 (Paula M. Aresco to the Aresco Family Trust); 7 Kirkland St. (Joan Federico to Joan M. Federico, trustee); 168 Woodcrest Dr., Lot 26 (Christine M. Hickey to herself as trustee); 34 Pearl Rd., Lot 35A (Christopher Nelson to Kristen Nelson); 13 Makepeace St. (Michael P. Cole to Michael P. Cole); 912 Sherwood Forest Ln., Unit 912 (Ann M. Botticelli to the Botticelli Family Trust); and 96 Central St., Lot 5 (Phong Duong to the Duong-Nguyen Family 2026 Living Trust).

Of the 14 recorded addresses, nine were listed with a unit or lot number (a pattern typically associated with condominiums), while four were listed as standalone street addresses without a unit designation. The dataset's lowest recorded figure, $21,306 for a parcel identified only as "See Record," involved two business entities -- Sho At Sau LLC and RFF Fam Par LP -- rather than individual buyers or sellers, distinguishing it from the residential sales in the dataset. No square-footage or bedroom/bathroom data was available in the deed records to support price-per-square-foot comparisons.
