Malden home prices span $395,000 to $923,000 in September deed records

MALDEN -- A single-family home on Fellsmere Road sold for $923,000 to lead a month of 16 recorded deeds in Malden, though eight of those transfers, many involving trusts or estates, have not yet shown a sale price in registry records.

MARKET OVERVIEW The South Middlesex Registry of Deeds recorded 16 Malden property transfers between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3. Of those, eight carry a recorded sale price, ranging from $395,000 to $923,000, with a median of $666,000. The remaining eight show no price yet, a common lag in registry data rather than a sign anyone withheld figures. The raw count of 16 deeds for the period offers no basis for calling the month active or quiet without a prior-month figure to compare it against.

TOP SALES 27 Fellsmere Rd sold for $923,000 on Sept. 4. Quinn M. McDonough was the seller; Melissa Jean Kirejczyk the buyer. 165 Central Ave sold for $890,000 on Sept. 10. Sellers Caroline Recio and Brianna Recio sold to Tobias S. Waldau and Morgan E. Waldau. 41 Edmund St sold for $850,000 on Sept. 8. Seller Junchang Yu sold to Qinghua Liang and Junhao Liang. 12 Baincroft Rd sold for $820,000 on Sept. 10. Sellers Briana J. Campbell and Andrew Brady sold to Michael White and Tal Margalit. 2 Anderson Way Unit 1 sold for $512,000 on Sept. 9. The sellers were listed as trustees John A. Montecalvo and Eileen M. Montecalvo; no buyer name was provided in the available data.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in this period's data produced more than one recorded sale, so transfers group more clearly by price tier. Under $500,000: 131 Pierce St Unit 201 ($395,000), 38 Upland Rd ($400,000) and 89 Cleveland St ($490,000). Between $500,000 and $1 million: 2 Anderson Way Unit 1 ($512,000), 12 Baincroft Rd ($820,000), 41 Edmund St ($850,000), 165 Central Ave ($890,000) and 27 Fellsmere Rd ($923,000). No sale in the period topped $1 million.

MARKET NOTES Two of the eight priced sales were condominium units (2 Anderson Way Unit 1 and 131 Pierce St Unit 201); the rest of the priced transfers were single-family homes, based on the addresses recorded. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in this data set, so no price-per-square-foot comparison can be made.

A notable share of the unpriced transfers in this period were deeds moving property within the same family or into a trust rather than open-market sales: 47 Fulton St, 21 Jonathan Ln, 67 Kimball St, 27 Avalon Rd, 319 Pearl St, 15 Norwood St and 402 Pleasant St all list a grantor and grantee tied to the same surname or an existing trust. One additional unpriced transfer, with no street address recorded, moved from New York Capital Investment Group LLC to Broadway St LLC. At 38 Upland Rd, by contrast, the deed reflects a $400,000 transfer in which one of two prior co-owners, Christopher S. Daniels, is listed as the buyer. At 131 Pierce St Unit 201, the $395,000 sale closed out an estate, with Todd Katzman and the estate of Marjorie E. Werlan as sellers and John Yawe as buyer.
