Pepperell Median Sale Price Reaches $700,000 Amid Strong Late Spring Activity
PEPPERELL -- A sale at 16 Hillside St. topped the local market at $900,000 during the late May through late June recording period, anchoring a median sale price of $700,000 among the 11 transactions with disclosed prices out of 18 total recorded deeds.
- MARKET OVERVIEW
- Eighteen deeds were recorded in Pepperell between May 28 and June 26, 2026, a solid volume for a single month in a small community. Of those, 11 carried disclosed sale prices ranging from $315,000 to $900,000, with a median of $700,000. Seven transfers recorded no consideration amount, a common occurrence in deed data, and several of those appear to be intra-family or trust-related conveyances. The 11 priced sales represent a reasonable sample for gauging market conditions, though the seven undisclosed transfers limit a complete picture of activity.
- TOP SALES
- The month's highest transaction was 16 Hillside St., which sold June 4 for $900,000; buyer Devan Marie Naples and Nicholas Neal Naples III purchased the property from Mercado Construction LLC, suggesting a new or substantially renovated home. Close behind, 142 River Rd. sold May 29 for $845,000, with Vincent Aduda purchasing from Shannon Fagan and Shannon M. Carlson. The third-highest sale, 2 Everett Dr., closed June 1 at $819,000, with Carlos M. Oliveria Monteiro and Abigail S. Vieira Monteiro buying from Jason N. and Teresa Goodwin. Rounding out the top transactions, 28 Plainfield Rd. sold June 17 for $775,000 — Nicholas Frey and Brynne Davies purchased from Fast Cash Home Pros LLC — and 21 Birch Dr. changed hands June 16 for $730,000, with Mariam B. Namagembe buying from Mindy Smith.
- NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
- Two sales were recorded on Main Street, spanning a wide price range: 73 Main St. sold for $700,000 and the condominium unit at 103 Main St., Unit 15 sold for $315,000, the only disclosed condo sale in the period and the lowest priced transaction overall. Three sales clustered in the $500,000-$600,000 tier — 23 Bancroft St. at $520,000, 27 Merrimac Dr. at $550,000, and 73 Nashua Rd. at $560,000 — representing the mid-range activity for the period. The remaining five priced sales all exceeded $700,000, indicating that the upper end of the market drove the bulk of recorded volume by dollar value. The $315,000 condo sale stands apart as the sole sub-$500,000 transaction with a disclosed price.
- MARKET NOTES
- Of the seven transfers with no disclosed consideration, several follow a clear pattern of individuals conveying property into revocable trusts or family trusts bearing their own names — including transfers at 45 Mt. Lebanon St., 13 Haskell Rd., 9 Robinson Rd., 6 Fairchild Ct., and 5 Countryside Rd. One undisclosed transfer at an address-unspecified parcel involved the Sanossian Revocable Trust. One transfer at 114 Lowell Rd. added a second grantee to an existing owner's name. These are standard estate-planning and title-management conveyances and are noted here as context for the overall count. Separately, 96 Townsend St. sold for $610,000 to Mercado Construction LLC on June 5; that same entity sold 16 Hillside St. for $900,000 the following day, a sequence that may reflect a builder or investor active in the local market during the period, though no further detail is available from deed records alone. The sole condo unit in the dataset, 103 Main St. Unit 15, was the only clearly identified non-single-family property type among priced sales.
