Fall River August Sales Show Wide Price Range Amid $432,500 Median

FALL RIVER -- Thirteen property transfers were recorded in Fall River between July 31 and Aug. 29, with prices ranging from $7,500 to $820,000 among the eight deeds that disclosed a sale price. Five of the recorded transfers, several involving trusts, life estates or shared family names, did not include a disclosed price.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Bristol County (Fall River District) Registry of Deeds records show 13 total property transfers for the period. Among the eight sales with a disclosed price, values ranged from $7,500 to $820,000, and the median sale price was $432,500. With 13 recorded transfers in the four-week window, this dataset does not include prior-month figures for comparison, so the raw count alone cannot establish whether the period was active or quiet relative to Fall River's typical pace.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced transaction was 974 Plymouth Ave, which sold for $820,000 on Aug. 3. Sellers Shen Wei and Zhang Xinlu conveyed the property to buyer Fernandes Isabel. At 781 Eastern Ave, sellers Vasconcelos Raymond F Tr and Vasconcelos Lucilia P Tr sold to buyers Tate Daman and Hines Theresa for $636,500 on July 31. A property at 77 Langley St sold for $550,000 on July 31, with sellers Campbell Ryan S and Campbell Morgan N conveying to buyer Cordeiro Sydney. At 49 Denver St, seller Southeastern Holding LLC sold to buyers Costa Tyler Antonio and Lachapelle Lakin Sky for $440,000 on July 31. Rounding out the top five, 889 High St sold for $425,000 on July 31, with sellers Stanton Rachael Con and Girard Frances By Con conveying to buyer Gonzalez Natalie.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No two disclosed-price sales shared the same street name in this dataset, so transactions are grouped by price tier instead. Three sales fell in the $500,000-to-$1 million range: 974 Plymouth Ave ($820,000), 781 Eastern Ave ($636,500) and 77 Langley St ($550,000). Five sales fell under $500,000: 49 Denver St ($440,000), 889 High St ($425,000), 434 Linden St Unit 2 ($340,000), a property recorded only with a Fall River address and no street listed ($250,000), and a small parcel at 895 Spencer St ($7,500). No disclosed-price sale exceeded $1 million in this period. The remaining five recorded transfers, at 400 David St, 91 Oregon St, 46 Barlow St, 55 Kennedy St and 214 Emmett St, did not include a disclosed sale price.

MARKET NOTES

The dataset includes at least one condominium unit, 434 Linden St Unit 2, which sold for $340,000, alongside single-family and other property types not further specified in the deed records. The $7,500 sale of a parcel at 895 Spencer St, identified in the deed as "Par A," was sold by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Fall River to buyers Lisa and Jason Blakeley; its low price relative to other sales in the period is consistent with a land parcel rather than a house, though the deed record does not specify the property type. Bed, bath and square-footage figures are not available from deed records for any of the 13 transfers.

Of the five sales without a disclosed price, several show matching or overlapping names between seller and buyer. At 400 David St, Susan M Dias transferred the property to herself as trustee and to the Susan M Dias Living Trust. At 91 Oregon St, Steven P Moniz transferred to himself and Claudette Moniz as trustees. At 214 Emmett St, Paul and Melissa A Ganczarski transferred the property to themselves as life estate holders. At 55 Kennedy St, Amanda Machado and Amanda Lee Machado Galego transferred to Amanda Lee Machado Galego and Jonathan Marc Galego. A fifth undisclosed-price transfer, at 46 Barlow St, moved from Grace Harbor Church to an entity listed as Neighborhood Churches. These patterns are consistent with intra-family, trust or estate transfers, which commonly do not include a sale price in deed filings.
