Acton disclosed home sales cluster above $1 million in August roundup
ACTON -- Twenty property transfers were recorded in Acton between Aug. 7 and Sept. 5, with sale prices ranging from $206,000 to $1,515,000 among the 12 deeds that disclosed a price. Eight of the 20 recorded transfers were trust or estate-related transfers within the same family, with no sale price disclosed.
MARKET OVERVIEW Twelve of the 20 recorded deeds included a disclosed sale price, ranging from $206,000 to $1,515,000, with a median sale price of $901,500. The remaining eight transfers, all price not disclosed, were transfers into or between family trusts. With 20 total recorded transfers in a four-week span, deed activity was active by count, though the high share of non-arm's-length trust transfers means fewer than two-thirds of recordings reflect open-market sales.
TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction was 39 Adams St., which sold for $1,515,000 on Aug. 20. David M. Crawley was the seller; Muhammad Mahmod Hanif and Nabiha Mahmood were the buyers. At 54 Pope Rd., the property sold for $1,365,000 on Aug. 17; Kevin Glenn Ressler and Barbara Grace Ressler were the sellers, and Michael Lynn Potter and Ilkay Yildiz Potter were the buyers. At 5 Minuteman Rd., the sale price was $1,175,000 on Aug. 17; sellers were Humphrey H. Chen and Yuhsin Tai, and buyers were Ragu Adinarayanan and Nicole R.G. Paquin. At 37 Newtown Rd., the property sold for $1,040,000 on Aug. 14; Adel and Sohair Daoud were the sellers, and Michelle Odonoghue and Carolyn Clark were the buyers. Rounding out the top five, 5 Mirasol Cir. Unit 5 sold for $1,005,000 on Aug. 17; Samuel Edward Shuster and Dena Anne Shuster were the sellers, and James P. Mackay and Carrie D. Mackay were the buyers.
NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Newtown Road saw two disclosed sales in the period: 103 Newtown Rd. sold for $870,000 on Aug. 20, and 37 Newtown Rd. sold for $1,040,000 on Aug. 14. Canterbury Hill Road had two recorded transfers, both without disclosed prices and both family trust transfers, at 25 Canterbury Hill Rd. and 91 Canterbury Hill Rd. By price tier among the 12 disclosed sales: one sale fell under $500,000 (428 Great Rd. Unit 13, at $206,000); two fell between $500,000 and $1 million ($524,000 and $885,000); and nine sold above $1 million, ranging from $1,005,000 to $1,515,000.
MARKET NOTES Of the 12 disclosed sales, nine priced above $1 million, indicating the disclosed-price portion of this period's activity skewed toward higher-value properties. One sale, 444 Great Rd. at $918,000, was a transfer between two LLCs (FFD LLC to Northeast Holdings LLC) rather than individual buyers and sellers, distinguishing it from the residential resales in the dataset. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available in the deed records reviewed for this period.
