• MARKET OVERVIEW
• Twenty deeds were recorded during the period, though only 11 of those transactions included disclosed consideration amounts. Among priced sales, the range ran from $260,000 to $579,900, with a median of $519,000. Six of the 11 priced sales fell between $510,000 and $580,000, indicating a tight clustering at the upper end of the range. The remaining nine transfers carried no disclosed price, a common occurrence in deed records that limits full market analysis for the period.
• TOP SALES
• The month's highest-priced transaction was 21 Emery Road, which sold for $579,900 on June 15; Jeremy Joseph Castiglia and Jennifer Ann Castiglia were the sellers, with Aubrey Irvine and Ryan MacDonald purchasing the property. Close behind, 64 Meadow Road changed hands for $560,000 on June 25, with Mark Haman and Lee Haman selling to Adaline BC Anderson and Nicholas Anderson. At 17 New Fitchburg Road, Dana R. Cully Jr. and Sarah E. Sheraidi paid $540,000 on June 24 in a sale from the estate of Suzanne Nelson and Stephen J. Barbieri. Two sales on consecutive days rounded out the top tier: 16 Pheasant Ridge Road sold for $525,000 on June 26, and 9 Birch Lane fetched $520,000 on June 18.
• NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
• Lunenburg Road produced two priced sales: 166 Lunenburg Road sold for $390,000 and 156 Lunenburg Road was transferred without a disclosed price. Brookline Road and Brookline Street together accounted for three transfers — 69 Brookline Road (no price disclosed), 80 Brookline Street (no price disclosed), and 41 Brookline Street at $455,000 — making that corridor the most active by address cluster in the period. The remaining priced sales were spread across single addresses on Emery Road, Meadow Road, New Fitchburg Road, Pheasant Ridge Road, Birch Lane, Main Street, and Worcester Road. One recorded transfer listed no street address, with Benjamin Builders Inc. as buyer at $260,000; that transaction stood as the period's lowest disclosed price.
• MARKET NOTES
• Of the 20 recorded transfers, at least nine appear consistent with intra-family or trust conveyances based on shared surnames or transfers to revocable trusts — including 156 Lunenburg Road (Moore to Moore), 69 Brookline Road (Sullivan to Sullivan revocable trust), 89 East Haynes Road (Cotreau to Cotreau trustees), 28 Bailey Road (Hill/Wolfe to Hill/Wolfe trustees), 80 Brookline Street (Thibeault to Thibeault Family Trust), 7 Willow Drive (Clark to Clark), 7 Ponderosa Drive (Sanford to Sanford trust), 8 Horseshoe Drive (Curtin/Thompson to Curtin trustees), and 5 Redwood Street (Strand/Mawhorr to Mawhorr). These transfers carry no disclosed consideration and are typical estate-planning or family conveyances. The purchase by Benjamin Builders Inc. at $260,000 — the only disclosed sale below $375,000 and the only identifiable builder acquisition in the dataset — stands apart from the remainder of the priced transactions.
