Saugus Sale Prices Cluster Between $570,000 and $750,000 This Period

SAUGUS -- Fourteen residential deeds were recorded in Saugus between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, but sale prices have reached the registry for only half of them so far. Among the seven sales with recorded prices, a home on Overlea Avenue topped the period at $750,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The Essex South Registry of Deeds recorded 14 property transfers in Saugus during the four-week period. Of those, seven carry a recorded sale price, ranging from $142,000 to $750,000, with a median of $638,000. The remaining seven sales have no price yet in the registry data; that is typical for recently filed deeds, since consideration amounts can take about a week to post, and does not mean a buyer or seller withheld the figure. Fourteen deeds in a four-week window is a moderate level of turnover for a town of Saugus's size, though this data set does not include prior-period figures for a direct comparison.

TOP SALES

27 Overlea Ave. sold for $750,000, the highest recorded price of the period. Seller is listed as Ricico J M T and buyer as Graziani M.

5 Hull Dr. sold for $670,000. Seller Jayandra Sharma transferred the property to buyer Cesar Acuna.

12 Third St., Lot 5, sold for $650,000. Seller Rita A. Pelosi transferred the property to buyer Melody Yunshen He.

37 Cliftondale Ave., Lot 403-405 Inc., sold for $638,000, the period's median price. Seller William R. Simard transferred the property to buyer Kevin Michael Perperian.

39 Mountain Ave., Lot 56, sold for $579,999. Seller Lisa Marie Fournier transferred the property to buyer Nadege Pierre.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street in this period had more than one recorded sale, so prices are broken down by tier instead. Under $500,000: one sale, a condominium unit at 301 Lincoln Ave. (Unit 7) that sold for $142,000, the lowest recorded price of the period. Between $500,000 and $1 million: six sales, at Denver Street ($570,000), Mountain Avenue ($579,999), Cliftondale Avenue ($638,000), Third Street ($650,000), Hull Drive ($670,000) and Overlea Avenue ($750,000). No recorded sale reached $1 million. The seven sales still awaiting a recorded price are spread across Harmon Road, Sanders Drive, Eastside Avenue, Guild Road, Serino Way, Newhall Street and Clifton Avenue; none of those streets overlap with each other or with the priced sales.

MARKET NOTES

Several transfers in this period list a lot or unit number rather than a standalone street address, including Sanders Drive (Lot 23A), Cliftondale Avenue (Lot 403-405), Third Street (Lot 5), Mountain Avenue (Lot 56), Guild Road (Lot 38, 39 and 40), Eastside Avenue (Lot 1) and Newhall Street (Lot 33), alongside a deeded condominium unit on Lincoln Avenue. That points to a mix of condominium and subdivided-lot transfers alongside more conventional single-address sales such as those on Harmon Road, Denver Street, Hull Drive and Overlea Avenue.

Five of the 14 recorded deeds show the grantor and grantee as the same person or closely related name, or explicitly reference a family trust: 16 Harmon Rd. (Kopacz Simon to Kopacz Simon, as trustee), 24 Sanders Dr. (Attilio P. Rao Jr. to Attilio P. Rao, as trustee), 6 Eastside Ave. (Thomas J. McGilley to Thomas J. McGilley), 30 Newhall St. (Alex Javier Valdivieso to Alex Javier Valdivieso), and 63R Clifton Ave. (Denahy J L to Joa L Den Fam Tru). A sixth, 7 Serino Way, also names a trustee as buyer (Schirripa Alexander R., TR) though under a different surname than the seller, Triolo Anna M. None of these six deeds carry a recorded sale price in the current data, consistent with the registry's typical handling of transfers into a trust rather than open-market sales.
