Two Scituate Homes Top $2 Million as June Sales Show Wide Price Spread

SCITUATE -- Eight deeds recorded at the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds between June 19 and July 18 show a Scituate market split between high-value sales and a cluster of nominal-consideration transfers moving property into family trusts.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Of the eight recorded deeds, five represent market sales with a recorded price, ranging from $586,000 to $2,699,000. The median price among those five sales is $1,417,143. The other three transfers recorded nominal consideration under $10,000 and are not counted toward the price range or median; they reflect a change in ownership structure rather than a market transaction. Five sales in a four-week window is a modest but workable sample for Scituate; it does not, on its own, indicate whether the broader market is accelerating or slowing.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced sale was 9 Lincoln Ave., which sold for $2,699,000. Joseph P. and Maria L. Ray sold the property to Steven and Kerry E. Delahunt. Bed, bath and square footage figures were not available in the deed record.

The second-highest sale was 55 Crescent Ave., which sold for $2,250,000. Barbara Hopey sold the property to Susan M. Heitmann, acting as trustee of the Susan M. Heitmann Trust.

153 Clapp Rd. sold for $1,417,143. Daniel H. Trendowicz sold the property to Jason C. and Elizabeth M. Lee.

18 Longmeadow Rd. sold for $1,410,000. Kevin M. and Ruth M. MacEachern sold the property to Jonathan Daniel and Courtney Anne Meehan.

94 Old Oaken Bucket Rd. sold for $586,000. The sellers were listed as Jonathan J. Davey and Carol Dunphy, each acting by conservator, and the buyers were Brittany A. and Garrett F. Goslin.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

No street recorded more than one sale during the period, so no street-level cluster emerged. By price tier: one sale fell under $1 million (94 Old Oaken Bucket Rd. at $586,000); two sales fell between $1 million and $2 million (18 Longmeadow Rd. at $1,410,000 and 153 Clapp Rd. at $1,417,143); and two sales exceeded $2 million (55 Crescent Ave. at $2,250,000 and 9 Lincoln Ave. at $2,699,000). Separately, three properties, 8 Avas Lane, 87 Sedgewick Dr. and an address recorded simply as Scituate, changed hands for nominal consideration as part of transfers into trusts; those are not part of the price tiers above.

MARKET NOTES

Deed records for this period did not include bed, bath or square-footage data, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons are possible. Property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) was likewise not specified in the records reviewed. Three of the eight recorded deeds, those for 8 Avas Lane, 87 Sedgewick Dr. and the Scituate parcel tied to Craig J. Dias Sr., involved nominal consideration and named grantees with matching surnames or "TR"/"TRUST" designations, consistent with transfers into a trust rather than open-market sales. The five priced sales this period skewed toward higher-value properties: four of the five exceeded $1.4 million, with only one sale below $1 million.
