Ashland Home Prices Span Wide Range From $355,000 To Over $1 Million

ASHLAND -- A Wadsworth Road property sold for just over $1 million last month, the top sale among 19 deeds recorded in Ashland between Sept. 11 and Oct. 10, as prices across the period's transactions ranged from $355,000 to $1,085,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW Nineteen property transfers were recorded in Ashland during the period. Of those, 12 carried a sale price in registry data collected so far, ranging from $355,000 to $1,085,000 with a median of $654,500. The remaining seven transactions have no price recorded yet; that is a normal lag in registry data, which typically appears within about a week, not an indication that a price was withheld. Nineteen recorded deeds in a single month is a solid volume of activity for the town, though more than a third of the transfers are trust or estate-related rather than open-market sales, which tempers how much the raw count says about buyer demand.

TOP SALES The highest-priced sale was 16 Wadsworth Rd, which sold for $1,085,000 on Sept. 21. John Killeen and Lisa Killeen sold the property to Jonathan R. Morin and Nicole P. Morin. 22 Fiske Rd sold for $980,000 on Sept. 18. Mohammmad S. Alam and Ishrat K. Alam sold the property to Megan Sonnenburg and Andrew Sonnenburg. 8 Lantern Way, Unit 8LW, sold for $795,000 on Sept. 17. Michael P. Phalen, as trustee of the Robert Phalen Trust, sold the unit to Anne Frances Vosikas, as trustee of the Vosikas Living Trust. 155 Prospect St sold for $785,000 on Sept. 14. Eric Perdoni Ostrander and Alexandra Elizabeth Natale sold the property to Randy McNair. 15 Braeburn Ln, Unit 5B, sold for $770,000 on Sept. 17. Steven A. Hickey, as trustee of the Ann M. Hickey Revocable Trust, sold the unit to Margaret P. Bartenhagen and Nicholas H. Bartenhagen.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Prospect Street had two recorded sales: 153 Prospect St for $659,000 and 155 Prospect St for $785,000. Algonquin Trail also saw two transfers, 22 Algonquin Trl Unit A for $580,000 and 164 Algonquin Trl Unit 144, for which no price has been recorded yet. Among the 12 sales with a recorded price, three closed under $500,000: 205 Union St ($355,000), a transaction listed only as "Ashland, MA" in registry data with no street address ($475,000), and 125 Leland Farm Rd ($480,000). Eight priced sales fell between $500,000 and $1 million, and one, 16 Wadsworth Rd, topped $1 million.

MARKET NOTES Five of the 19 recorded transfers show the same family names on both the seller and buyer side, consistent with trust or estate transfers rather than open-market sales: 9 Sheffield Dr, 14 Goodnow Ave, 99 Cordaville Rd, 39 Wayside Ln and 164 Algonquin Trl Unit 144. Those five account for most of the seven transactions still awaiting a recorded price. Condominium units made up six of the 19 transfers, at Algonquin Trail, Lantern Way, Braeburn Lane, Captain Eames Circle and American Boulevard, while the remaining transfers were at single street addresses. Two transfers involved a limited liability company as buyer: RCAAR LLC at 205 Union St and Ashland LLC at 137 American Blv Unit B.
