Somerville Median Sale Price Tops $1 Million as June Deed Filings Roll In
SOMERVILLE -- Recorded deed activity in Somerville for the period ending June 29, 2026, placed the median sale price at $1,030,000, with the market's top transaction — a Powder House Boulevard property — reaching $1.4 million.
- MARKET OVERVIEW
- Seventeen deeds were recorded between June 1 and June 3, 2026, with sale prices disclosed on 13 of the 17 transactions. Those 13 priced sales ranged from $606,000 to $1,400,000, yielding a median of $1,030,000. The four-day recording window is narrow and likely reflects a single closing cycle rather than a full month of activity; the 13-sale priced dataset is a sufficient basis for a median but should be read as a snapshot, not a trend.
- TOP SALES
- The highest recorded sale was 128 Powder House Blvd., which changed hands June 2 for $1,400,000. Christina Nichols, trustee of Nichols Realty Trust, sold the property to Chris J. and Victoria Macrokanis. A unit at 13 Arlington St. (Unit A) sold June 2 for $1,215,000; sellers Jenny Hua Chen and Jim Lin conveyed the property to Nicole and Daniel Kubler. At 96 Willow Ave., William Kuhlman purchased the property from Caron Lavallie Guigli and Michael S. Guigli for $1,295,000 on June 1, making it the second-highest priced sale in the dataset. Unit 2 at 10 Lowell St. sold June 2 for $1,054,000, with Jamie Lee Waldron and Jeremy Mark Simon buying from Wenwen Fang and Li Li. Rounding out the top five, 42 Oak St. sold June 1 for $1,125,000; Emily A. Ingardia and Finbarr Sheehan sold to James Creswell Simpson.
- NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN
- Six of the 13 priced sales came in above $1 million, spanning Powder House Boulevard, Arlington Street, Willow Avenue, Lowell Street, Oak Street, and Glen Street. Three sales clustered in the $880,000–$1,000,000 range, covering Banks Street, Princeton Street, and Robinson Street. The two lowest priced disclosed transactions — 355 Highland Ave. Unit 1 at $694,000 and 0 Norwood Ave. at $606,000 — sat well below the median; the Norwood Avenue parcel transferred to an LLC buyer. Lowell Street recorded two separate unit sales on the same day (June 2), with Unit 2 at No. 10 selling for $1,054,000 and Unit 1 at No. 168 recording at price not disclosed.
- MARKET NOTES
- Of the 17 recorded deeds, the dataset is heavily weighted toward condominium units: at least eight of the addressed sales explicitly identify unit numbers, suggesting condos represent the majority of recorded activity in this period. At least three single-family or non-unit parcels are identifiable — 128 Powder House Blvd., 96 Willow Ave., and 42 Oak St. — and all three priced above $1.1 million. Four transactions carried no disclosed consideration, including one transfer between the same grantor and grantee names with the addition of a co-buyer (168 Lowell St.) and two trust-to-trust or intra-family-pattern transfers (8 Westwood Rd. and the undressed Norwood/Rapoport entry). The $606,000 Norwood Avenue sale, conveyed to Zero Norwood Avenue LLC, is the only parcel in the dataset without a street address number, recorded as "0 Norwood Ave."
