NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN No street in the dataset had more than one recorded transfer. Grouped by price tier: three sales topped $1 million, at Connies Way ($1,875,000), Leland Avenue ($1,836,000) and Amelias Crossing ($1,650,000). One sale fell in the $500,000-to-$1-million range, at Summer Street ($956,250). One sale was under $500,000, at Renear Street ($200,000).

Two additional transfers carried no recorded price. A transfer at 0 Daggett Ave. recorded Oct. 5 moved the property from Grace Oliver to John F. Oliver, a transfer between parties sharing the Oliver surname. A separate transfer recorded Oct. 5, without a listed street address, was identified in the registry as a mortgage modification involving Pine Family LP, Navigator Investment LLC and a filing described as "Modification of Mortgage"; it is not a property sale.

MARKET NOTES Four of the five priced transfers named a bank or mortgage-related entity as buyer or co-buyer: Citizens Bank NA at Renear Street, US Bank NA at Summer Street, Martha's Vineyard Bank at Amelias Crossing, and Griffin Funding Inc. together with Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. at Connies Way. The deed data does not specify whether these transfers followed foreclosure proceedings or other circumstances. No bed, bath or square-footage figures were available in the records, so no price-per-square-foot comparisons can be made this month. Property type (single-family, condominium or multi-family) was not specified in the deed data for any transfer.
