Median Sale Price Holds Near $546,250 In Acushnet's Late-Summer Market

ACUSHNET -- Twenty-seven properties changed hands in Acushnet between Aug. 7 and Sept. 5, with recorded sale prices ranging from $120,000 to $937,400 and a median of $546,250 among the 16 transactions that disclosed a price.

MARKET OVERVIEW Bristol County Registry of Deeds records show 27 property transfers recorded in Acushnet during the four-week period. Of those, 16 sales, or roughly 59%, listed a consideration amount; the remaining 11 were recorded without a disclosed price, a common practice for transfers between family members or into trusts. Among the 16 sales with disclosed prices, values ranged from $120,000 to $937,400, with a median sale price of $546,250, meaning half of the disclosed sales closed above that figure and half below. The raw count of 27 recorded deeds represents an ordinary volume of transaction activity for the town over this period. The dataset does not include figures from prior periods for comparison, so no judgment can be made about whether volume is rising, falling or holding steady; the count alone indicates a period of continued, regular deed activity rather than a notable spike or lull.

TOP SALES The highest-priced recorded sale was 6 Evergreen Drive, which sold for $937,400 on Aug. 24, the only transaction in the period above $900,000. David Nava sold the property to Zachariah Lee Culver. 26 Pershing Avenue sold for $726,000 on Sept. 2. William A. LeValley was the seller and Michael Vitorino the buyer. 1527 Main Street sold for $655,000 on Aug. 28. Paul Arruda sold the property to Zachary Joseph Stupalski. 14 Ludlow Street sold for $635,000 on Aug. 21. Carlos H. Mota Jr. sold the property to Maria Vierbickas. 2 Westland Street sold for $610,000 on Aug. 27. Meghan Fenton sold the property to Enedina Briggs, rounding out the five highest recorded sale prices for the period.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Main Street recorded three sales during the period, the most of any street: 1236 Main St. sold for $590,000 on Sept. 3, 1324 Main St. sold for $607,500 on Aug. 20, and 1527 Main St. sold for $655,000 on Aug. 28. Hathaway Road recorded two transfers: 31 Hathaway Road sold for $480,000 to Frank A. Vilacha, while 27 Hathaway Road was a same-name transfer from James C. Poirier Sr. to himself, with no price disclosed. By price tier, nine of the 16 disclosed sales fell between $500,000 and $1 million, and seven were below $500,000. No recorded sale in the dataset topped $1 million. The period's lowest disclosed sale was a $120,000 transfer on Pleasant Street from George Grant, trustee, to Benjamin Reis; the next-lowest was a $170,000 sale at 7 Tarkiln Hill Road from Barrico Inc. to Carlton J. Neves, trustee.

MARKET NOTES Nine of the 27 recorded deeds, about a third of the period's total, transferred property between parties sharing the same last name or into a trust bearing the seller's own name: 50 Wing Lane, 27 Hathaway Road, 61 Perry Hill Road, 103 Tootle Lane, 230 Leonard Street, 63 Wing Road, 12 So Orchard Street, 35 Coulumbe Street and 22 Douglas Lane. That pattern is consistent with estate planning or family succession rather than open-market sales, and none of the nine carried a disclosed price. Two other sales, 265 Hamlin Street and 14 Park Drive, involved unrelated buyers and sellers but also recorded no price, meaning the absence of a disclosed price in this dataset is not limited to family or trust transfers. Beds, baths and square footage are not part of the deed record, so no price-per-square-foot comparison is possible for this period, and the data does not distinguish single-family homes from condominiums or multi-family properties.
