Somerset home sales cluster near $525,000 median in July
SOMERSET -- Sixteen property transfers were recorded in Somerset during the four weeks spanning July 3 to Aug. 1, according to Bristol County (Fall River District) Registry of Deeds records. Of those, nine listed a sale price, ranging from $460,000 to $640,000, while seven were transfers between family members into trusts or life estates with no consideration disclosed.
MARKET OVERVIEW
Nine of the 16 recorded deeds disclosed a sale price, ranging from $460,000 to $640,000, with a median of $525,000. The remaining seven transactions were recorded without a price, consistent with intra-family trust and life-estate transfers rather than open-market sales. At 16 total recorded deeds for the period, activity looks moderate by raw count, though more than a third of the transactions were not arm's-length sales, which limits what the volume alone signals about buyer demand.
TOP SALES
The period's highest-priced transaction was 205 Eastview Ave., which sold for $640,000 on July 13. Marc J. Sutherland sold the property to Desiree S. Cantwell.
194 Grove Ave. sold for $585,000 on July 17. Trinity L. Kizer sold the property to Veronica P. Taubman and Thomas Greeno.
18 Duke St. (Lot 11) sold for $532,500 on July 16. The Carol A. Rosa Irrevocable Trust, with Mark R. Rosa as trustee, sold the property to Alex A. Vital.
79 Highview Ave. sold for $530,000 on July 9. The Annette C. Cummings Irrevocable Trust, with Paul W. Cummings as trustee, sold the property to Matthew Kelley and Kailee Paulson.
Two properties tied for the next-highest price at $525,000: 80 Wellesley Dr. (Lot 115), sold July 15 by Michael A. Raposo (also recorded as Michael Andrade Raposo), as trustee, to Timothy G. and Florencia M. Machado; and 345 Chace St., sold July 14 by New Level Property Investments LLC to Jose and Helena Medeiros.
NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
No street in this period recorded more than one sale, so no street-level cluster emerged. By price tier among the nine disclosed sales: two sold under $500,000 (1206 Old North St. at $460,000 and 175 High St. at $495,000); six sold between $500,000 and $600,000 (48 Thelma Ave., 80 Wellesley Dr., 345 Chace St., 79 Highview Ave., 18 Duke St. and 194 Grove Ave.); and one sold above $600,000 (205 Eastview Ave. at $640,000).
MARKET NOTES
Seven of the 16 recorded deeds -- 644 Buffinton St., 115 Sunset Dr., 190 Grandview Ave., 208 Donald Ave., 3495 Riverside Ave., 104 Harrison Ave. and an unaddressed Somerset parcel -- were transfers in which the seller and buyer share the same family name, moving property into a trust or life estate rather than to a new owner. None of those seven disclosed a sale price, which is typical for this type of deed filing. Among the nine open-market sales, several properties carry condominium or subdivision lot designations (18 Duke St. Lot 11, 80 Wellesley Dr. Lot 115), indicating the mix of sales included condominium as well as single-family transactions, though the deed data does not specify property type directly. No square-footage or bedroom/bathroom data was available in the deed records to support price-per-square-foot comparisons.
