Hingham Deed Prices Range From $850 To $995 In Rare Disclosures

HINGHAM -- Plymouth County Registry of Deeds records show nine property transfers in Hingham recorded between June 26 and July 25, but only two of those deeds listed a disclosed sale price, leaving most of the period's activity impossible to assess in dollar terms.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Nine deeds were recorded in Hingham during the period. Of those, two carried a disclosed consideration amount: $850 and $995, for a median of $922 among the disclosed-price sales. The other seven transfers, about 78% of the total, listed no sale price, which the registry allows and does not by itself indicate anything unusual about a transaction. Because disclosed pricing covers only two of nine deeds, the raw count of nine sales does not, on its own, support a conclusion about whether the period was active or quiet compared with typical volume; no comparable prior-period figures were provided.

TOP SALES

The highest disclosed sale was 56 Canterbury St, which sold June 30 for $995. Aidan Rooney was the seller; the buyers were Austin T. Rockwood and Emma L. Hollingsworth. The only other disclosed-price sale was 27 Kimball Beach Rd, which sold June 30 for $850. The sellers were Guy R. Stadig and Susan M. Stadig, as trustees; the buyer was Hilary Aborn. The remaining seven recorded sales in the period -- at 34 Governor Long Rd, 182 South St, 223 High St, 11 Camelot Cr, 106 Central St, 19 Elm St and 10 Ocean View Dr -- did not include a disclosed sale price and cannot be ranked by value.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

The nine sales were spread across nine different streets, with no street appearing more than once: Canterbury Street, Kimball Beach Road, Governor Long Road, South Street, High Street, Camelot Circle, Central Street, Elm Street and Ocean View Drive. Because no two sales shared a street and pricing was disclosed for only two transactions, the data does not support grouping by price tier or identifying a geographic concentration this period.

MARKET NOTES

Two of the nine transfers involved parties sharing a family surname alongside trust language, consistent with an intra-family or trust transfer rather than an open-market sale. At 223 High St, the sellers were Lynn F. Muller and Lynn Muller, who transferred the property to the Lynn Muller Family Trust, with Lynn F. Muller listed as trustee. At 11 Camelot Cr, John C. Henley and Janice E. Henley, as trustees, transferred the property to Jeffrey L. Henley, as trustee. The registry data does not indicate why these transfers occurred, and this article does not speculate on motivation.

The deed for 19 Elm St listed sellers Alison A. Ferrante and Giovanni A. Ferrante but no buyer name in the available data. Separately, the name Christopher F. Ryan appears as a buyer on the June 30 deed for 34 Governor Long Rd and as a seller on the June 29 deed for 182 South St; the data does not clarify whether this reflects the same individual in both transactions.

No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage figures were available from the deed records for any of the nine sales, so no price-per-square-foot or property-size comparisons could be made. The dataset does not specify property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) for any transaction.
