Disclosed Swansea home sales top out at $860,000 amid mostly unpriced deeds

SWANSEA -- Eighteen property transfers were recorded in Swansea between Aug. 7 and Sept. 5, though most involved no disclosed sale price, limiting a full read on market pricing this period.

MARKET OVERVIEW Eighteen sales were recorded in Swansea during the period, but only five listed a disclosed consideration amount. Among those five, prices ranged from $311,000 to $860,000, with a median sale price of $589,000. Because 13 of the 18 recorded transfers list no price, this roundup's pricing figures reflect only the minority of deeds that disclosed a sale amount and should not be read as a full picture of market values for the month. Whether the period was active or quiet cannot be determined from price data alone, but the overall count of 18 recorded deeds indicates a steady volume of property transfers in town.

TOP SALES The highest-priced disclosed sale was 15 James Birch Ln, Lot CC 18, which sold for $860,000 on Aug. 11. Sellers were Herbert Carvalho and Andrea Loup; buyers were Manuel D. Dasilva and Stephanie Dasilva.

A property on record simply as Swansea, MA sold for $799,900 on Aug. 18. The sellers were listed as Dean A. Munro, trustee, and Lori A. Munro, trustee; the buyer was Tina Kane.

175 Old Fall River Rd sold for $589,000 on Aug. 7. Sellers were Allen J. Florentine and Debora Maria Rodrigues Florentine; buyers were Kylynn Ann Barbero and Timothy Joseph Barbero.

952 Bark St sold for $425,000 on Aug. 17. Sellers were Raymond T. Morgado and Kim Morgado; the buyer was Mary E. Morgado.

181 Cedar Ave, Parcel B, sold for $311,000 on Aug. 10. The seller was Elizabeth J. Ritch; buyers were Erin Reynolds and James Reynolds.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in the dataset recorded more than one sale, so no street-level clustering emerged this period. By price tier among the five disclosed sales: one sale topped $800,000 (15 James Birch Lane at $860,000 and the Swansea property at $799,900, both above that mark), one fell in the $500,000-to-$600,000 range (175 Old Fall River Road), and two fell under $500,000 (952 Bark Street and 181 Cedar Avenue). The remaining 13 transfers carry no disclosed price and cannot be sorted into a tier.

MARKET NOTES Of the 18 recorded transfers, at least eight appear to be transfers into a trust or from an individual to that same individual as trustee, including 194 Cedar Cove Road, 3 Brookridge Circle, 38 Swansom Road, 60 Regent Court, 51 Cummings Road, 30 Hampden Lane, and 87 Shore Avenue. These are recorded as deed transfers but do not represent open-market sales in the traditional sense. Additionally, 909 Hortonville Road and 100 Vinnicum Road show transfers among individuals sharing a last name, suggesting family-related transactions; as with the trust transfers, no motivation is indicated in the deed data. No bedroom, bathroom, or square-footage figures were available in the deed records for any property in this period.
