Concord's top disclosed sale reaches $5.3 million as median hits $1.97 million

CONCORD -- Seventeen properties changed hands in Concord between July 17 and August 15, according to deeds recorded at the South Middlesex Registry of Deeds, with disclosed prices ranging from $550,000 to $5,305,000.

MARKET OVERVIEW Seventeen properties changed hands in Concord between July 17 and August 15. Eight of those transactions disclosed a sale price; the other nine were recorded without a stated consideration amount, which is common for trust, estate and family conveyances. Among the eight disclosed sales, prices ranged from $550,000 to $5,305,000, with a median of $1,970,000. The raw count of 17 recorded transfers over four weeks reflects a reasonably steady pace of activity for the town, though with more than half the sales carrying no disclosed price, the overall value of the period's total transactions cannot be fully assessed from the available data.

TOP SALES The period's highest-priced sale was 315 Musketaquid Rd, which sold for $5,305,000 on July 23. The deed lists Roger A. Strauch and Julie A. Kulhanjian as both seller and buyer, each acting as trustee, indicating the property moved within existing trust ownership rather than to a new party. The second-highest sale was 59 Elm St at $3,495,000 on July 21, sold by Thomas J. Vaughn and Judith Chiarelli Vaughn to Joshua Minty and Katherine Adams Minty. A Concord property recorded without a specific street address sold for $3,150,000 on July 24, transferring from Bradford Street LLC to Development LLC. At 127 Commerford Rd, Donna L. and Joseph V. Philipose, as trustees, sold to Mark Huhndorff, trustee, and the Calmus Trust for $2,140,000 on July 28. Rounding out the top five, 449 Old Marlboro Rd sold for $1,800,000 on July 31, with Mrithyunjaya Kumar Annapragada and Kamala Vadlamani selling to Russell Kenneth Wallack and Carrie Shineman Wallack.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Highland Street was the only street to produce more than one recorded sale in the period: 49 Highland St and 68 Highland St both closed within a day of each other, on July 28 and July 29, and both were trust conveyances with no price disclosed and matching family names on both sides of the transaction. No other street had more than one recorded sale. Among the eight sales with disclosed prices, two fell under $1 million: 845 Barretts Mill Rd at $550,000 and 230 Harrington Ave at $995,000. Two fell between $1 million and $2 million: 69 Potter St at $1,125,000 and 449 Old Marlboro Rd at $1,800,000. Four sold above $2 million: 127 Commerford Rd, the unaddressed Concord property sold by Bradford Street LLC, 59 Elm St and 315 Musketaquid Rd.

MARKET NOTES Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from these deed records. Ten of the 17 recorded transfers list matching or overlapping names between grantor and grantee, consistent with trust, estate or family transfers rather than arm's-length sales; none of those ten disclosed a price. Two condominium units, 2 Black Birch Ln Unit 2 and 12 Sweet Birch Ln Unit 12, were the only condo transfers recorded in the period, and neither disclosed a price. One transaction involved two limited liability companies rather than individual buyers and sellers: the $3,150,000 sale of an unaddressed Concord property from Bradford Street LLC to Development LLC.
