Just One of Eight Hingham Property Sales Reports a Purchase Price

HINGHAM -- Eight properties changed hands in Hingham between June 19 and July 18, but only one of the underlying deeds recorded a sale price, leaving most of this period's market activity undocumented in terms of dollar value.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Plymouth County Registry of Deeds records show eight Hingham property transfers recorded during the period. All eight were recorded within a three-day span, June 22 through June 24, with no additional transfers recorded during the remaining three and a half weeks covered by this roundup. Only one of the eight deeds, for 327 East St., listed a sale price: $970. The other seven did not disclose a consideration amount, which is common in Massachusetts deed records and does not indicate the properties sold below market value. Because only one price was reported, that $970 figure serves by default as the period's low, high and median. With seven of eight prices undisclosed, there is not enough price data this period to characterize the market as active or quiet in dollar terms; the count of eight recorded transfers is the only volume measure available.

TOP SALES

327 East St. sold for $970, the only transaction in the period with a disclosed sale price. Sellers Dino B. and Christine E. Pizzelli conveyed the property to buyers Alexander and Kelsey Karns, with the deed recorded June 22. No other transaction in the period carries a disclosed price, so no further sales can be ranked in this section on a dollar basis.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

The eight sales were spread across eight different locations, with no two transactions sharing a street name: 19 Harvest Lane, 8 White Horse Road, 24 Kimball Beach Road, 327 East Street, 1 Gardner Terrace, 11 Seal Cove Road, and 14 Minuteman Road, plus one Hingham property recorded without a specific street address in this dataset. Because only one sale carries a disclosed price, this period's transactions cannot be broken into price tiers.

MARKET NOTES

Two of the eight transfers involved a corporate entity on one side of the deal: Winter Street LLC sold 24 Kimball Beach Road to Ryan and Marina Fandetti, and Barbara R. Murphy, as trustee, sold 11 Seal Cove Road to Greenman Industries Inc. Two other deeds moved property into a trust: Matthew and Tiffany Renfro sold 1 Gardner Terrace to Jennifer C. and Philip McGuire, who took title as trustees, and Elizabeth B. Kane and Katherine M. LaRose, as trustees, sold 19 Harvest Lane to Lakshay Dewan. At 8 White Horse Road, sellers Kathleen M. Bogan and Michael J. Mahoney conveyed the property to Patrick J. Mahoney, a shared surname suggesting the transfer stayed within the same family, though the deed does not state the relationship. The remaining transfers -- a Hingham property that changed hands between the Donnelly and Butler families, the East Street sale from the Pizzellis to the Karnses, and the transfer of 14 Minuteman Road from Joshua and Michaela Mamary to Remy and Marlena Majoie -- appear to be individual-to-individual sales based on the names in the record. No square-footage, bedroom or bathroom data was available in the deed records, so no property-size or price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made this period.
