Melrose Home Sales Cluster Above $900,000 As July Median Tops $1 Million
MELROSE -- Eleven of the 17 property transfers recorded in Melrose over the past month disclosed a sale price, ranging from $417,000 to $1,825,000, with a median of $1,052,000 among those sales.
MARKET OVERVIEW The South Middlesex Registry of Deeds recorded 17 Melrose property transfers between June 26 and July 25. Of those, 11 included a disclosed consideration amount, with prices ranging from $417,000 to $1,825,000 and a median sale price of $1,052,000 among the disclosed transactions. The remaining six transfers listed no sale price, a pattern consistent with deed records for family or trust transfers rather than open-market sales. Based on raw count alone, 17 recorded transfers is a moderate volume for a single month in Melrose; the data does not include prior-period figures for direct comparison.

Foster Street also had two transfers: 3 E Foster St ($1,450,000) and 200 W Foster St (price not disclosed, a transfer from Congregational Retirement Homes Inc to an affiliated LLC).
By price tier among the 11 disclosed sales: one sale fell under $500,000 (51 Melrose St Unit 1C, $417,000); four fell between $500,000 and $1 million (28 Edgemere St, $933,000; 62 Elm St, $949,000; 1078 Main St, $970,000; and 161 Green St, $995,000); four fell between $1 million and $1.5 million (29 East St, $1,052,000; 647 Main St, $1,126,000; 97 Trenton St, $1,310,000; and 3 E Foster St, $1,450,000); and two exceeded $1.5 million (35 Frances St, $1,650,000, and 34 Russet Lane, $1,825,000).
MARKET NOTES All six transfers with no disclosed sale price were transfers among family members, into trusts, or between related entities, rather than third-party sales: 25 Apple Hill Road (into the Gulino Family Living Trust), 173 Grove St Unit B (into a trust held by Jeffery and Galina Stolz), 200 W Foster St (Congregational Retirement Homes Inc to an affiliated LLC), an unspecified Melrose address and 40 Youle St (both involving John J. and Kristen White), and 1053 Main St (into the Lewis Family Trust). By contrast, all 11 transfers with a disclosed price involved unrelated buyers and sellers. Property types among the disclosed sales included single-family homes as well as condominium units, such as 51 Melrose St Unit 1C ($417,000). Bedroom, bathroom and square-footage figures were not available in the deed data for any property.
