Newton's priciest June-July sale hits $2.76 million on Ashton Avenue

NEWTON -- Sixteen property transfers were recorded in Newton over the past month, with disclosed sale prices ranging from $532,000 to $2,760,000 and a median of $1,320,000 among the nine transactions that included a stated price.

MARKET OVERVIEW The South Middlesex Registry of Deeds recorded 16 property transfers in Newton between June 26 and July 25, 2026. Of those, nine listed a sale price, ranging from $532,000 to $2,760,000, with a median of $1,320,000. The remaining seven transfers did not disclose a consideration amount, a pattern common in deed data and not unusual on its own. Based on the raw count of 16 recorded transfers, the period shows a moderate volume of activity, though the high share of undisclosed-price transactions -- several of which involve shared names between grantor and grantee -- limits how much can be concluded about broader price trends from this data alone.

TOP SALES The highest-priced transaction was 60 Ashton Ave, which sold for $2,760,000 on June 29. Sellers Natasha and Michael Ferrell transferred the property to Joshua M. and Christine Berg. The second-highest sale was 97 Eldredge St, which sold for $2,180,000 on June 26; sellers John A. Patti and Amy Kendall sold to Darren Beardall Gwin and Alison Dana Silver. At 26 Berkshire Rd, Zachary B. and Julija Hill sold to Ryan R. and Laura W. Satterfield for $1,800,000 on June 29. The property at 284 Lake Ave sold for $1,780,000 the same day, with sellers Gary Stephen and Leyla Goldstein transferring to buyers Qing Liu and Jie Jiang. Rounding out the top five, 66 Myerson Ln sold for $1,320,000 on June 26, with seller Lisa A. Garland, trustee of the Sunshine Realty Trust, transferring the property to Myerson LLC.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in this period's data recorded more than one sale, so transactions are grouped here by price tier using the nine disclosed sale prices. In the $500,000-to-$1 million range were three sales: 1075 Chestnut St Unit 6 ($532,000), 160 Pine St Unit 11 ($885,000) and 19 Dunstan St Unit 19 ($980,000). Four sales fell between $1 million and $2 million: 69 Clinton St ($1,150,000), 66 Myerson Ln ($1,320,000), 284 Lake Ave ($1,780,000) and 26 Berkshire Rd ($1,800,000). Two sales topped $2 million: 97 Eldredge St ($2,180,000) and 60 Ashton Ave ($2,760,000). The remaining seven transfers -- at Jasset St/Unit, 25 Roosevelt Rd, 361 Dudley Rd, 1778 Commonewealth Ave, 11 Levbert Rd, 9 Adams St and 28 Parsons St -- did not disclose a sale price.

MARKET NOTES The 16 recorded transfers included a mix of property types: three condominium unit sales (19 Dunstan St Unit 19, 160 Pine St Unit 11 and 1075 Chestnut St Unit 6) alongside single-family street addresses. A notable share of the undisclosed-price transfers show the same or related names as both grantor and grantee, consistent with trust, estate or intra-family transfers rather than open-market sales. These include 9 Adams St, where Jinmei Yu transferred the property to herself as trustee of the Yu Revocable Trust; 361 Dudley Rd, where Alex and Marie Luise Yunis transferred to the Alexander Yunis Revocable Trust; 1778 Commonewealth Ave, where the estate of Ching K. Seto and Hok P. Seto transferred to Hok P. and Wai K. Seto; 11 Levbert Rd, transferred from a trust to named life estate holders; and 28 Parsons St, where James Haddad and Shushan Savzyan appear as both seller and buyer. No square footage or bedroom/bathroom data was available in the deed records for this period, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons could be calculated.
