Newton sees 17 deeds filed in September, but trust transfers outnumber arms-length sales

Newton's deed filings for Sept. 18 through Oct. 17 totaled 17, but only five carried a recorded sale price, ranging from $980,000 to $2,112,000 with a median of $1,550,000. The top transaction was 44 Ellison Rd, which sold for $2,112,000.

The top transaction was 44 Ellison Rd, which sold for $2,112,000. Twelve of the 17 transfers were trust, estate or family-related transfers without a price on file, a pattern common for internal ownership changes. With price data available for less than a third of recorded deeds, the overall market tone for the period cannot be firmly characterized beyond the five completed sales on record.
