West Bridgewater Home Prices Range From $485,000 To $1.01 Million In July

WEST BRIDGEWATER -- Three properties with recorded sale prices changed hands in West Bridgewater between June 26 and July 25, with the top sale on Crescent Street reaching $1.01 million. Six additional deed transfers recorded in the same period carried only nominal consideration and are not counted as market sales.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Plymouth County Registry of Deeds records show nine total property transfers in West Bridgewater during the period, but only three carried a recorded sale price. Those three sales ranged from $485,000 to $1,010,000, with a median price of $565,000. The remaining six transfers were recorded for nominal consideration, typically under $10,000, and are not reflected in the price figures. With just three priced sales, the data is too limited to characterize overall market activity as active or quiet relative to prior periods.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced sale was 85 Crescent St, which sold for $1,010,000 on July 15. The seller was Kevin B. ONeil Jr. and Laura J. ONeil; the buyer was Md Nazmusshadat. Beds, baths and square footage were not available in the deed record.

The second-highest sale was 208 Matfield St, which sold for $565,000 on July 21. The sellers were John R. Eckstrom and the estate of Meredith A. Eckstrom; the buyer was Giovanni S. Perrone.

The third sale was 117 Prospect St, which sold for $485,000 on July 7. The sellers were Dennise Caratazzola and the estate of John C. Laundry Jr.; the buyers were Nicole Elizabeth Smith and Mackenzie Gary Lewis.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

The three priced sales occurred on three separate streets, Crescent Street, Matfield Street and Prospect Street, with no overlap. By price tier: one sale fell under $500,000 (117 Prospect St, $485,000); one fell in the $500,000-to-$1-million range (208 Matfield St, $565,000); and one exceeded $1 million (85 Crescent St, $1,010,000).

The six nominal-consideration transfers were spread across West Center Street, South Street, Kenneth Street, Scotland Street, Progressive Avenue and one unspecified address, with no street-level clustering among them.

MARKET NOTES

Two of the three priced sales, 208 Matfield St and 117 Prospect St, involved sellers identified in deed records as estates, meaning the properties passed through estate administration before reaching new buyers. No speculation can be drawn from the data about why, but the pattern is notable given it represents two of the three market sales this period.

All six nominal-consideration transfers involved grantors and grantees sharing a surname or including a trust designation in their names. These included transfers at 301 W Center St (Wallace to Wallace, into "One West Center Street Realty Trust"), 195 South St (Thornton to Thornton), 54 Kenneth St (Andrews to Andrews, into trust), 143 Scotland St (Ayad to Ayad, into trust), 0 Progressive Ave (Munafo Holdings LLC and Salvatore P. Munafo to the same parties) and one unaddressed parcel (Signorino to Signorino, into trust). These appear to be transfers among the same individuals or into trusts bearing their names, consistent with internal reorganizations rather than sales to unrelated buyers.

No square footage, bedroom or bathroom counts were available in any deed record for this period, and property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) was not specified in the data, so no conclusions can be drawn on those points.
