Groveland Deed Prices Hold At $635,000 Median In Latest Sales Batch

GROVELAND -- Fifteen property transfers were recorded in Groveland between July 10 and August 8, with disclosed sale prices ranging from $200,000 to $750,000 and four of the month's sales clustered on Main Street.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Essex County Registry of Deeds recorded 15 Groveland property transfers during the period, though only 8 of the 15 included a disclosed sale price; the remaining 7 were recorded without consideration amounts, common for deed transfers involving trusts or transactions within the same family. Among the 8 sales with disclosed prices, values ranged from $200,000 to $750,000, with a median of $635,000. Based on the raw count alone, 15 recorded transfers occurred in the roughly four-week period; no prior-month or year-over-year data was provided for comparison, so no characterization of the pace as active or quiet beyond that count can be made.

TOP SALES The month's highest-priced transaction was 179 Main St Lot 3, which sold for $750,000; James P. McCarthy sold the property to Peggy W. Marcelonis on July 31. At 167 Center St Lot 54, Timothy Howard sold to James Roger Mailloux for $700,000 on July 29. Two sales tied at $675,000: 178 Main St Lots 8 & 9, sold by Katherine Holmstrom to Wandy Lucila Polo-Rodas on July 30, and 158 King St, sold by Roland Gagnon Jr.'s estate representative to Shannel Trappier on July 17. Rounding out the top five, 22 Wood St Lot 1 sold for $595,000, with Corella L. Vaughn selling to Dylan Robert Jutras on July 31.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN Main Street accounted for four of the period's 15 recorded transfers, more than any other street: 179 Main St Lot 3 ($750,000), 178 Main St Lots 8 & 9 ($675,000), 396 Main St Lot 7 (price not disclosed), and 85 Main St ($420,000). No other street had more than one recorded sale. By price tier among the 8 disclosed sales, 2 sold under $500,000 (85 Main St at $420,000 and 6 & 8 Pond St at $200,000), and 6 sold between $500,000 and $1 million, topping out at the $750,000 Main Street sale. No disclosed sale exceeded $1 million.

MARKET NOTES The dataset includes a mix of property types: two condominium unit sales, at 1305 Alyssa Dr Unit 1305 Building 13 ($580,000) and 5 Lindsays Way Unit 2 (price not disclosed), alongside single-lot residential transfers identified by lot numbers, consistent with Groveland's subdivision-style parcels. Of the 7 sales recorded without a disclosed price, 6 involved a grantor and grantee sharing the same or a related last name, including Brad M. Ligols to Brad M. Ligols TR, Jeffrey Koen to Jeffrey Koen, Bryan J. Jeffery to the Jeffery Family Revocable Trust, the Mary Laverdure Trust of 2023 to Mary A. Laverdure, Karin Caves to Karin C. Caves TR, and Joseph N. Nadeau to Daryl S. Nadeau TR. One no-price transfer, 1 Grove St from Jeannette C. Pasquale to Jeanne Martineau TR, did not share a last name between grantor and grantee. Bed, bath and square-footage figures were not available in the deed records for any property in this period.
