Danvers home sale tops $2 million as trust transfers dominate July-August deed records

Danvers recorded 14 property deeds between July 17 and Aug. 15, but only two listed a sale price: $512,000 for a unit at 234 Locust St. and $2,060,000 for a property whose address was not specified in the record, the sold from Karen Doherty to Thomas R. Haught. Those two figures average to $1,286,000. Nine of the 14 deeds transferred property between the same individual or family name, consistent with trust or estate transfers, while five involved different-named buyers and sellers. With prices disclosed for only two of 14 transactions, the data offers limited insight into overall market tone this period.
