Malden's June Median Hits $772,500 as Top Sales Reach $1.075 Million

MALDEN -- Two properties in Malden sold for $1,075,000 apiece in early June, tying for the period's highest recorded price and anchoring a month in which only six of 14 recorded deed transfers carried disclosed sale prices.

• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Fourteen deeds were recorded in Malden between June 6 and July 5, 2026, but just six carried disclosed consideration amounts, limiting the data available for price analysis. Among those six, sale prices ranged from $535,000 to $1,075,000, with a median of $772,500. The volume of 14 recorded transfers is a moderate tally for a single month, though the high share of undisclosed prices — eight of 14 transactions — constrains any broad conclusions about market conditions.
• TOP SALES
• 143 Main St. and 216 Adams St. each changed hands for $1,075,000, the joint highest prices recorded during the period. At 143 Main St., Lucy M. Celani sold to Noe Dejesus Perez Ardon and Ada Arely Posada Reyes; the sale was recorded June 11. At 216 Adams St., GG Adams LLC sold to Bao Duc Nguyen and Hoangyen Thi Nguyen in a transaction recorded June 8. A property on Malden's records listed without a street address sold for $785,000 on June 10, with John C. Chang and Qiang Zhang as sellers and Shao Ying Liu and Justin Lin as buyers; because no street address appears in the deed data, the location cannot be specified. At 235 Lebanon St., Paul E. Coughlin and Kathleen M. Caruso sold to Carlos Henrique Zucher for $760,000, recorded June 9. Unit 205 at 51 Pearl St. sold for $680,000 on June 8; Wang Mian and Zhou Deng were the sellers, and Christopher Michael Sharkey and Isabelle Marie Schmit were the buyers.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Two sales with disclosed prices reached or exceeded $1,000,000: 143 Main St. and 216 Adams St., both at $1,075,000. Two additional sales fell in the $700,000–$799,000 range: the unaddressed parcel at $785,000 and 235 Lebanon St. at $760,000. The lone condo sale with a disclosed price, 51 Pearl St. Unit 205, came in at $680,000. The period's lowest disclosed sale was 159 Madison St. at $535,000, sold by Barbara Bettano TR and George J. Curley TR to Byron Giovanni Torres Monsterroso and Maria Arely Guardado Mejia. Clarendon Street saw two same-day transfers — 58 and 60 Clarendon St. — both moving from Leonel Xavier and Ana Xavier to trustee entities under the same names, consistent with a trust restructuring rather than a third-party sale; neither carried a disclosed price.
• MARKET NOTES
• Eight of the 14 recorded transfers involved no disclosed consideration. Several show characteristics of intra-family or estate-planning transfers: the Clarendon Street pair (Nos. 58 and 60) conveyed to trustee versions of the same grantors; 20 Valley St. transferred from Owen S. Knight and Elizabeth J. Knight to the Knight Revocable Trust with Owen S. Knight as trustee; 107 Gilbert St. moved from Frederick W. Wilson and Joan L. Wilson to trustee versions of the same parties; and 53 Summit St. transferred from DeSouza Real Estate LLC to Jose Antonio DeSouza and Selma Machado DeSouza. These patterns are noted for transparency; no motivation is inferred. One entry, sale No. 7, carries no street address in the deed data and cannot be mapped to a specific location. Sqft and property-type data are not available from deed records, so price-per-square-foot analysis is not possible.
