Acton Median Hits $940,000 as June Deed Recordings Show Broad Price Range

ACTON -- A commercial transaction on Great Road topped Acton's June deed recordings, with 178 Great Road changing hands for $2,570,000, pushing the month's overall price range well above the seven-figure threshold. Among the 20 transfers recorded from June 6 through July 5, 12 carried disclosed sale prices spanning $250,000 to $2,570,000 with a median of $940,000.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Twenty deeds were recorded in Acton during the period, with 12 of the 20 carrying disclosed consideration amounts. Among priced sales, figures ranged from $250,000 to $2,570,000, producing a median sale price of $940,000. Eight transfers either involved no stated consideration or were trust and estate conveyances with no disclosed price; those are reflected in the total count but excluded from price calculations. Twenty transactions in roughly a month represents a moderately active recording period for a town of Acton's size.
• TOP SALES
• The highest recorded transaction was 178 Great Road at $2,570,000, a commercial property transfer from Great Rd Acton LLC to DSP Commercial Realty LLC on June 15. At 709 Main St., a new-construction sale closed at $1,550,000 on June 9, with Green Skyline Development Company LLC conveying the property to Abu Musa and Parul Musa. The third-highest priced sale was 44 Wood Lane at $1,325,000, sold June 15 by Pratheepan Madasamy and Michelle K. Madasamy to Aditya Tiwari and Nidhi Raj. At 18 Bromfield Road, David Speir McCormick sold to trustees Brian W. Turner and Jennifer D. Turner for $1,160,000 on June 11. Rounding out the top five, 3 Hawthorne St. sold for $1,040,000 on June 16, conveyed by Steven C. Brown and Shana L. Pyun to trustees Andrew S. Coffin and Carolyn F. Coffin.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Great Road accounted for two recorded transactions: the $2,570,000 commercial transfer at 178 Great Road and a condominium sale at 388 Great Road Unit B23 for $250,000, illustrating the corridor's wide mix of property types and price points. The $1 million-and-above tier included four additional residential sales — 709 Main St., 44 Wood Lane, 18 Bromfield Road, and 3 Hawthorne St. — spread across distinct streets with no further street-level clustering. The mid-range tier, from $700,000 to $999,999, contained five sales: 7 Mohawk Drive ($1,000,000 sits at the tier's boundary), 76 Alcott St. ($780,000), 18 Ellsworth Village Road Unit 26 ($755,000), 18 Quail Run Unit 18 ($718,500), and 114 Nagog Hill Road ($700,000). At the lower end, 112 High St. sold for $880,000 and 388 Great Road Unit B23 at $250,000 was the sole transaction below $500,000 among disclosed-price sales.
• MARKET NOTES
• The dataset includes a notable mix of property types: at least two sales appear to be condominiums (18 Ellsworth Village Road Unit 26 and 18 Quail Run Unit 18) along with additional unit-designated addresses at 388 Great Road, 19 Meyer Hill Drive, 164 Split Rock, and 7 Edgar Drive, suggesting condominiums and attached units represent a meaningful share of Acton's recorded transfers this period. The 178 Great Road sale was a commercial transaction and stands apart from the residential dataset; excluding it, the residential price ceiling drops to $1,550,000 and the remaining spread better reflects single-family and condominium activity. Eight of the 20 transfers involved grantees identified as trustees or named trusts, several of which show the same individuals appearing as both grantor and grantee — a pattern consistent with property being conveyed into personal revocable trusts rather than arm's-length sales.
