HOLLISTON -- Twenty properties changed hands in Holliston between June 19 and July 18, with recorded prices ranging from $161,000 for a condominium unit to $1.5 million for a house on Old Cart Path, according to deeds filed with the South Middlesex Registry of Deeds. The period's median sale price was $732,500.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The registry recorded 20 transfers of Holliston property during the period, 16 of which listed a sale price; the remaining four, including a purchase by the town of Holliston, did not disclose a price. Disclosed prices ranged from $161,000 to $1.5 million, with a median of $732,500. Twenty recorded transfers over a one-month span is a straightforward count on its own; the data provided does not include prior-period figures for comparison, so this report does not characterize the pace as active or quiet relative to other months.

TOP SALES

The month's highest-priced sale was 85 Old Cart Path, which sold for $1.5 million on July 7. Sellers Saarthak Sethi and Somya Saxena transferred the property to Venkateswara Rao Cherukuri.

Rounding out the top five, 218 Hollis St. sold for $860,000 on June 30, transferred from Everton Bruno Viera Cardoso to Cleviana Oliveira Cardoso and Kathryn Guastella.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
