Arlington Median Hits $912,500 as Six Disclosed Sales Span Wide Price Range
ARLINGTON -- A Summer Street property that sold for $1,389,000 topped a 15-transaction stretch of deed recordings from late May through late June 2026, with only six of those sales carrying disclosed prices.
- MARKET OVERVIEW
- Fifteen deeds were recorded in Arlington between May 28 and June 26, 2026, but just six included disclosed sale prices, limiting the picture of overall market activity. Among those six, prices ranged from $300,150 to $1,389,000, with a median of $912,500. The high share of undisclosed prices — nine of 15 transactions — reflects a common pattern in Massachusetts deed records, where trust transfers and estate conveyances often record without consideration. The six arm's-length sales on their own represent a modest volume for a four-week window.
- TOP SALES
- The period's highest-priced transaction involved a Summer Street property that sold June 2 for $1,389,000; the seller was Summer Street LLC and the buyers were Quan Yizhou and Gu Lihua. No street number was included in the recorded deed. Second was 156 Waverly St., which sold May 29 for $1,185,000; Darren C. Manter and Emily Laubscher were the sellers, and Danielle Barsky and Jeffry Burchard were the buyers. Third was 15 Howard St., which sold June 2 for $925,000 to HDKEYS LLC from the estate of Michael J. and Peter M. Adamowicz. Rounding out the top sales, 11 Radcliffe Rd. sold May 28 for $900,000 to Manushaqe and Petrit Lushi from Mary Katherine Preziosi.
- NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
- No two disclosed-price sales shared a street, so a price-tier breakdown is the most useful grouping. One sale exceeded $1 million (the Summer Street and Waverly Street transactions each cleared that threshold), two came in between $500,000 and $1 million (Howard Street at $925,000 and Radcliffe Road at $900,000), one fell in the $500,000–$700,000 range (1 School St. Unit 208 at $620,000), and one landed below $400,000 (1025 Massachusetts Ave. Unit 406 at $300,150). The Massachusetts Avenue condo was the period's only transaction under $500,000 among disclosed-price sales.
- MARKET NOTES
- Of the six disclosed-price sales, at least two appear to be condominiums based on their unit designations: 1025 Massachusetts Ave. Unit 406 ($300,150) and 1 School St. Unit 208 ($620,000). The remaining four disclosed-price sales appear to be single-family or multi-family residential properties, though property type cannot be confirmed from deed records alone. Nine of the 15 recorded deeds show the same individuals appearing as both grantor and grantee — or closely related names — with trustee designations added, a pattern consistent with transfers into revocable or family trusts; no sale price was disclosed in any of those nine transactions.
